Hudson-on-Brooklyn
Stroll down Warren Street in Hudson, NY, and the density of vintage shops conjures the ole days on Lafayette St. below Houston or Atlantic Ave. from Hoyt to Nevins. Before the Flea took flight, Senor Flea made a trip up there to convince some shop-owners to trek down to Brooklyn--to no avail.
So this Sunday feels like a coup of sorts, what with four Hudsonians at the Flea, and more to come soon if all goes well. Mike from Mohawk Studios is back near the backstop with his metal stuff (those little railroad-spike bugs rule). Karen from Madalin Antiques does everything from D&G skirts to Stan Getz records. David Dew Bruner has primitive to modern sculptural antiques, like a Pennsylvania coal-crusher mold (right). (David and Karen will be neighbors near the Clermont/Lafayette corner.) And Robin from Colonia has been a weekly vendor near the Lafayette gate since launch, with a sharp eye for offbeat furniture and affordable funky stuff.
The Flea is becoming a real pilgrimage for out-of-town dealers; feel free to welcome them warmly.
