Review of the Golden Nugget Antique Flea Market in Lambertville New Jersey

After a year of reviewing fun souvenirs, we are finally getting to our first flea market review.

I love a good flea market– especially one that lets me get out of New York City for the day. The Golden Nugget Flea Market in Lambertville, New Jersey is only an hour and half drive from New York City, but a world apart.

• Unlike New York’s flea markets, which can be elbow to elbow with traffic, the Golden Nugget flea is blissfully uncrowded.
• The Golden Nugget Flea market is open Wednesday, Saturdays and Sundays (all year).
• Golden Nugget’s vendors are pleasant and chatty.
• Prices at the Golden Nugget flea are very fair (though you can always do some bargaining).
• The size of the Golden Nugget market is large enough to while away a few hours without running out of new things to see, but not so enormous that you are exhausted by the time you’re done.
• When you’re done shopping the flea, you can head over to the town of Lambertville and stroll its antique and artsy shops or bike the tow path by the canal– read about it here.

Military Flea Market Finds

Cross-bows and military helmets.

Eccentric Flea Market Finds

I wonder if this creepy clown has drawn more buyers to this chair.

I almost stepped on this box of dolls.

Crafty Flea Market Finds

This collection of bottles is just begging for a DIY craft project.

I love these decorative keys– pinterest has tons of fun craft ideas but my favorite idea came from the Sierra Club, which suggested bending the keys to form a key rack for new keys.

Even if you didn’t grow up with these toys, it will make you nostalgic for a simpler era, where real working ovens and rusty trucks were in every four-year-old’s toy box.

Natural Flea Market Finds– and a Pair of Dutch Shoes

Fossils at the Golden Nugget Flea Market

Real or faux?

Dutch shoes wedged in among the rocks

Chinese coins

The rock vendor had a huge assortment of fossils and geodes to browse through. When I asked him why there was a pair of tiny pair of dutch wooden shoes next to his fossils, he simply shrugged.

Sparkly Flea Market Finds

Tables filled with bargain vintage jewelry.

Home Decor Finds

I loved this early 1930’s art deco candelabra
