For more than a year I’ve been missing the energy of large outdoor flea markets — a place where I could spend hours rummaging around: looking for unique vintage finds to add to my collection of curiosities. This April, I was delighted to learn that one of the largest markets of the kind, Elephant’s Trunk in New Milford, CT, is re-opening its doors again for the 2021 season. With just an hour and a half North of NYC, the market is open every Sunday from 5:30 am to 3:30 pm. I couldn’t miss the chance to go and check it out.
