Brooklyn Flea

The Brooklyn Flea (www.brownstoner.com/brooklynflea) started this weekend! There were a lot of wonderful local designers, vintage furniture stands, yum food vendors. I'm excited to see how it develops as the summer goes on, but for now it's a welcome destination on our weekend stroll. Here are some of the vendors who were there;

A lovely handmade soap/florist shop, located in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Well worth a trip! www.saipua.com. The soaps make great presents but I usually end up keeping at least a few for myself...

This lady had every thing bicycle related, great t-shirts, cards -- www.bicyclepaintings.com

Neighborhood perennial fave, Lena Corwin -- www.lenacorwin.blogspot.com

Beautiful prints from Lotta Jansdotter -- http://jansdotter.com/

I'll post polaroids from our trips to the Flea as the summer goes on. Did you have anything you really enjoyed seeing there?
