Mrs. B's Flea Wrap

This is the first of a weekly look-back at The Flea from Mrs. Brownstoner, who's been brainstorming on the market with us from the beginning...We finally got to spend some quality browsing time (sans kids) at The Flea last Sunday. Here are a few of the things that caught our eye: In the furniture department, this Nelson-ish daybed was practically being given away in the center of the yard; with some new uphostelry, maybe one of the Marimekko prints from ReproDepot stash along the Vanderbilt fence, it could become a prize piece. Unfortunately, we don't have room for another item of large furniture in our place. These Thonet chairs from the Antiquinaires booth were another example of mid-century design that would look great jazzed up with some new fabric—they were also a bargain at $80 a pop. There were also some interesting art finds if you looked closely. We were tripping over ourselves to grab this pair of wax portraits from Bloom Antiques (where we also noticed some beautiful inlaid boxes and silver pieces). On the top of our wish list for next Sunday: Vintage lighting.
