Sunday, October 26, 2008 Brooklyn Flea
I finally got back to the Brooklyn Flea this weekend after wanting to go for several Sundays and not being able to find the time. We came home with some small treats.
First we found a tiki mug that had been part of a pair. The vendor told us she was trying to sell the duo but one had been dropped and shattered earlier. The survivor had a really big chunk that had broken off and been glued back on, and the crack was still really visible. Because of all this, his price had sunk to a steal at $5, and we took him home.
We also bought some mini pins. Rob got a $3 mystery pack of four from Karen’s Monsters who sells both the squishy monsters and photos of them on pins, and I picked out six from Becky Johnson at sweetiepiepress.com.
My favorite find was a photo art print. I needed oooone more piece of art for this one spot in my house, and I was thrilled when I found it at the Anniebee booth. Her photos are done with vintage cameras and are of vintage things. I was pretty excited flipping though her work, and selected an 8×10 of a duo of “freaked out looking” vintage deer.
This is another one of my favorites from her, called “Robot Heads are Good for Dancing”.

It was a pretty good haul, not too expensive. Brooklyn Flea takes place every Sunday from 10am to 5pm—rain or shine—at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, on Lafayette Ave. between Clermont and Vanderbilt Ave.
