WELCOME!!
Thank you for surfing in to my Website. Enjoy my site!!! There are lots of great pics, stories, & info for collectors & lovers of fleamarkets!!
I am Fleabees!

I love fleamarkets, auctions, antique fairs, outdoor markets....hence, Fleabees. My name is Bill. I currently live outside of Batavia, NY, which is situated between Buffalo & Rochester. I have years of experience, lots of fleamarket friends, tons of great stories, & a lot of fun!! There is always someone who has something fantastic. I am like a little kid on Xmas morning when I first get to a fleamarket! I regularly sell/buy at the Clarence, NY fleamarket on Sundays(in good weather!). I can also be found at the Springville, NY fleamarket every Wednesday in the summer, although because of my work schedule that has been hard to do. Yes, I said on Wednesdays!! Both of these markets offer friends, diversity, & incredible deals!! I have also been known to be at the Avon, NY fleamarket on occasion. I have pics/links to these fleamarkets farther into the website. If you've never been to any of them...Do yourself a favor & GO!!
Welcome to all new visitors!
February 1st Thank you one & all, & special thanks to maxpages, & the gods of websurfers!! Please be patient with the webpages loading. There are tons of pics on each page. Unless, you are using a high speed cable connection, these pages will take a few minutes. It's worth the wait. Questions, curiosities, inquisitiveness, & requests, are always welcomed....& encouraged!! I am hoping that anyone who may have a nice picture of any cool fleamarket or antique find, may email me. Please have a picture available. I am more than happy to copy the pic, host it for you, & add all of the juicy info about the item. Great fleamarket stories are also requested! Please be honest. Sometimes a great fleamarket story can be just like the old fishing story.....it gets bigger with each telling of it!
NEWS FLASH: Hi Folks! Well, I realize that it has been about 2 years since I really updated the site.....sorry. A lot has happened. My Moms estate took quite a while to go thru & settle. Life has been a four letter word over the last year alone! Im am currently updating the links page, plus I will be adding some new features(reference materials, old advertising highlights, fun finds, etc.).
I am now a GrandPa! My daughter, Patti recently gave birth to.....Isais Christopher.....

I have a lot of new things happening, so if this is your first visit.....have fun!!! If youre just swinging by again.....welcome back! This website currently has over 30,000+ total hits!! Stay tuned for more fun stuff.... *********************************** On August 19th, 2003 my Mom passed away in her sleep. Mom had been trying recover recently from a small fall. I guess God decided her time had come.

My Mom lived an incredible life. She had me, & enjoyed the company of her 2 grandkids (Patti is in the picture). Mom had been a lady Marine that served at Pearl Harbor, she had lived in Alaska & been a spotter with the Civil Air Patrol for downed aircraft, she graduated from the University of Rochester, & had a long career as a Government Defense Contract inspector! Mom handled contracts from Kodak film for spy planes to periscopes for tanks. Mom had a fantastic funeral service & burial with full military honors! With the help of the funeral home, we have set up a pictorial memorial to my Mom's life. Please take a minute to view this incredible site. I love you & miss you MOM!
My Mom's Life
The little fellow below, best describes our glee for this week's fun!

Once again, thanks for stopping by! ------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever seen a rare, glow in the dark, Monster model kit from 1969? Well, we found a couple kits recently! It's located in the Clarence, NY Fleamarkets pictures for this year! Check the Table of Contents below for Page 3.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I recently had the pleasure of touring a friend's house, that was built in the mid 1800's! The house is located in Middleport, N.Y., which happens to be a town situated near the Erie Canal. This house is quite literally...all original! It has been featured in books about the Erie Canal. Take a look below at this radiator from the dining room of this house.

This antique Victorian radiator (that still works), has a middle compartment of 2 glass doors that open to reveal a shelf. It was & is used as a bread warmer! It's quite unique, & of course...pure Victorian genius!
Thanks in advance for your patience, surf back in,....& by all means....tell your friends!!! A quick note: Please be patient for the pics to load!! They've been slow lately...about 2 minutes.
