« Mrs. B's Flea Wrap: Week 3 - Pupusamania! »

May 9, 2008

Incoming!

Haft%20sewing%20machine.jpgThe Flea approaches full throttle this Sunday, with a packed yard of our best mix of vendors yet. And expect to hear more from Senor Flea here on ze blog in coming weeks. We miss you too!

Truly too many new vendors onboard this week to list them all. Here are some highlights.

Buddha%20head.jpgAdele Amore is back with her ogle-friendly mix of vintage jewelry, knick-knacks, and handbags. Adele is a Brooklyn Fleaster in the classic style, which is obvious after about 2 seconds of yapping with her. That's Amore! Clermont fence.

Pamela Haft makes her first Flea trip down from Sharon, CT, to bestow treasures like the antique sewing machine (right, top) upon Fleagoers. Pam also just opened a new shop called Artisan Gallery Antiques in Amenia, NY. Handball wall, Vanderbilt side.

Clyde Gatlin, also from CT, will be spread out in the middle of the yard with his mish-mash of '40s whisky boxes, watering cans, garden tools, and antique silver and porcelain. We have a good feeling about Clyde--as a vendor and a man.

Gary Ford, a Fort Greener and veteran of the 25th St. Garage, debuts his collection, which includes fossilized whale bones, Persian prayer rugs, and lots of picture frames. Clermont fence.

Bayo Ogunsanya debuts his rare books this week, looking forward to having him as a regular hopefully. Handball wall, Vanderbilt side.

Reyna from Jef Rey Cambodian Crafts is bringing her beautiful pieces from Southeast Asia, like this Cambodian buddha head (right, middle.) 8x8 section.

Susan from the La Crosta Pie Co. upstate brings her delicious pies to the Flea for the first time. Fresh, local, no preservatives, etc. School-side booths.

Leke%20%2B%20Rob.jpgLeke and Rob have a great couple of racks of vintage clothes, and they're always dressed for excess. Rob is an especially fine devotee of the art of conversation, perpetual pipe in hand (right, bottom.) 8x8 section.

Longtime Motique Gallery-owners Monifa and Bashiri hop over from Prospect Heights for the first time with their tip-top trove of African-inspired art, everything from glass and paintings to textiles and photos. Vanderbilt fence.

Vanity, a Crown Heights antiques shop on Kingston Ave., makes its debut at the Flea on Sunday. We're eager to see what Yahia pulls from their older-era collection of furniture, teapots, and porcelain. Vanderbilt fence.

Bed-Stuy (Franklin Ave. at Clifton Pl.) clothing boutique Collecther launched its Flea outpost last Sunday, and Shana's back for more. Collecther does super-nice vintage, as well as Shana's subtly elegant house line. Vanderbilt fence.

And finally, a few other newcomers of note for this Mama's Day Flea:
Orchard Floral will have fresh bouquets of flowers.

Fine and Raw chocolates--literally raw chocolate--are ready just in time for yo mama.

And one of our faves, the gals who ran the Chop Delancey art intervention/shop/restaurant last fall will begin their weekly presence (residence?) at the Flea on Sunday, under the guise "Chop Summers." We're not quite sure what to expect, but hear rumblings about Hungarian roadside gypsy traditions, bartering food and art for seeds and soil, and this week at least, lots and lots of RED. Apparently, these gals also need ladders--if you got one to spare, let's make a deal! Look for the red art gypsies.

Love the new flea market, especially the great food vendors. However, I'd love to see more book dealers.

Got amazing vintage stuff at from Lola's Boutique! Everything was only $5 - bought an incredible 60s coat (very MJ), a flapper dress and a gold brocade catsuit! Fantastic service - what a deal - will definitely check her stand again!
