Fellow Portlanders! I have my hands on this year’s upcoming Portland Flea dates and wanted to share the official flea calendar with you. The first flea of the year will be this Sunday, Jan. 20. As for the rest of 2013, here are the dates: 2/17, 3/17, 4/21, 5/19, 6/16, 7/21, 8/18, 9/15, 10/20, 11/17 & 12/15. Per usual, the flea is held at Union/Pine on 525 SE Pine Street in Portland. For minute-by-minute vendor and item updates, follow Portland Flea on Facebook here.

Word on the street is that there are a number of new vendors in the mix this year, and plenty of vintage finds to be had. I took a break from bargain hunting to focus on the remodel, but now I’m back in action. I’ll be at Sunday’s flea looking for some  comfy new sitting chairs for our living area.

In other Portland happenings, WoonWinkel is kicking off its expanded furniture collection with an upcoming furniture sale! From February 1st-17th,Woonwinkel will offer 15% of all custom and in-stock furniture by Hay and SCP and 20% off select home accessories.

Rejuvenation is also having it’s attic sale this weekend. Save more than 75% on lighting and other decor items. We’ve picked up numerous goodies from these sales in the past and they are great to check out if you are flexible in terms of colors, shades, and sizes.

And, Grayling Jewelry is also having a sample sale this weekend. Katy Kippen is the queen bee of jewelry design, and I can guarantee you there will be beautiful jewelry and good deals at her darling shop.

Happy shopping and, cheers to a cozy winter weekend!
