Since 2000, two Chicago-based sisters have run a business all about vintage and antique shopping called Come Flea With Me. They put together day trips to area antique shows and flea markets, filling up a bus with shoppers and providing them with coffee, muffins, shopping totes and other treats along with transportation to and from the market and the camaraderie of fellow flea fans...
The Come Flea With Me tagline is "modern treasure hunting". Country Living magazine tagged along on a trip - check out the online slideshow and article here.
Their next upcoming outing is to Wolff's Flea Market/Chicago Antique Market on 9/28 and it is priced at $115. per person, which includes market admission transportation to and from the market, snack and flea bag.
Has anyone taken a trip with Come Flea With Me? Let us know all about it...

I was looking into this because I just moved to Chicago and it seemed like a great way to meet people who are into similar design things but really 115 is a lot to pay for a bus ride and a snack, I would rather put it to use buying something at the market.
i dont understand- why would you pay that much to drive with a bunch of strangers to a flea market? maybe its just me, i like to keep my treasure hunting to myself- what if one of those other people snagged something that you really wanted?
Second salley. At first I thought it was a good idea, then I realized for $115 and a group of potential competition for bargains and good stuff, I'll flee from then not with them (hahaha bad...horrible pun...I'm dying)
Where where where are the fleas in the Pacific Northwest? Where?
It has always been my private and peacuful time to go out for shopping, wander around flea markets, buy some stuff if I am luck enough that day. So my full respect to the idea in business, I would rather prefer going to the market all alone.
$115 ?! I can't believe those chumps posed for that photo.
