Antique Shopping at ARK Hills
April 24, 2015
In addition to the Saturday farmers' market, ARK Hills is also home to a high-end flea market on the last Sunday of each month.
The market features carefully selected antique furniture and sundry items.
For people interested in beautiful antiques, the flea market at ARK Hills is a wonderful place to while away some time.
Hills Marche has been a successful event at ARK Hills since it started, and it's one of my favorite ways to spend a couple of weekend hours. No matter the time of year, it's always nice to get out into the fresh air for a while, and if you can combine that with shopping and a nice cup of coffee, even better. In addition to the Saturday farmers' market, ARK Hills is also home to a high-end flea market on the last Sunday of each month.
I stopped by the market recently and was surprised at what I found. In my experience, flea markets tend to consist of a rather disorganized hodgepodge of everything from used clothing to vintage toys and worn-out books. But the ARK Hills flea market is nothing like this. The products are very carefully selected, and include some very interesting and beautiful items such as antique teacups, watches, photo frames, and even some furniture items such as velour-upholstered dining chairs.
One stand that seemed to be drawing quite a bit of attention was selling vintage hardware items, such as metal door locks and wooden coat hooks. Also popular were the jewelry and silverware items. The delicate teaspoons and intricately detailed brooches were extremely eye-catching, and would surely be prized as much by their new owners as they were by their first. I personally loved the glassware that was on offer, from fluted dessert cups to a large water pitcher.
For people interested in beautiful antiques, the flea market at ARK Hills is a wonderful place to while away some time. This Sunday, there will be special features to the market, commemorating the first anniversary. When you're ready for a break from shopping, have a seat in one of the cafes surrounding ARK Karajan Place and take in the scene from a distance.
