Nothin' Like A Fine Vintage
We're making sure the Flea has plenty of 2.0 layers like top-notch clothing, accessories, and jewelry designers, yummy culinary startups, hula-hoop lessons on opening day (April 6), and possibly Sunday concerts at the historic Masonic Temple across the street. But the heart and soul of the Flea are the vintage-furniture and antiques sellers that have become increasingly hard to find in our town.
So we want to give props to the folks who signed up way back in December, before Daily Candy caught on, and helped lay the Flea foundation: Olde Good Things, Housing Works, Prague Kolektiv (right), Demolition Depot, Build it Green! NYC, Silver Fox, Journey Home, and RePOP.
And we're overjoyed to welcome antiques vendors who are coming onboard after years at markets across the river and beyond, some as recently as last night! Fishbowl Enterprises (veterans of the venerable Broadway-and-Grand flea) specializes in vintage handbags and jewelry (top); Ashley Graj (former Avenue A'er), Jellyroll Vintage (17th St. in Chelsea), Ninaz, Miss Masters Closet, and Re/Dress (a size 14+ women's vintage dealer) all have unique takes on vintage clothes; the longtime W. 25th St. shop Defined Vintage features beautiful China and glassware; Paul DeBeer has Persian rugs galore; and one of our faves, Rico Espinet Antiques, of Rico on Atlantic Ave., who will be unloading 30+ years of his collecting at the Flea every week.
Check out the list so far, because this is just a sampling. What's missing from the list? We'll hunt it down.

Comments
Since we plan to come down once a month, we would like to bring a variety of architectural salvage, our own line of home decor and antique furniture. If you visit our website and find something you are interested in, please shoot us an email or call and we can load it on the truck (depending on size). We will try to keep our inventory up to date, but it's difficult when turnover is about 2 to 4 weeks. Custom tables have a 4 week waiting period.
Thanks. Fred & Camille from Silver Fox
