What was in the flea market today

Today I went to a flea market that seemed to have been a never ending cave of other people’s junk. Are they all that way? I’ve never been a flea market or antiques person regularly, but lately I’ve wanted to explore the ones available around me. Once I get there, though, I always feel like, “Ok, I’m done”. But today, I made myself explore the whole place. It was like a combo garage sale, grandparent’s basement, and 90s kid’s leftover room but with semi-cute earrings and iron-on patches.

It makes me think - what do we really need? It was full of cool stuff, but do I need it? Why is there so much stuff out there anyway? I might be having a minimalistic crisis. As I try to use Aventurine to create fun and unique things, I struggle with this minimalistic and functional balance.

What are your thoughts on flea markets, decor, and stuff in general?
