« So Baked - Scavenger Hunt Items: September 7 »

We're gonna cruise through this week's newbies, as there are so many. And what with a packed-to-the-gills Flea this Sunday (totally full, which is great news for Fleagoers this fall), there is much prepping to be done!

We've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Victoria Hoffman and her trove of vintage quilts since she first inquired about the Flea back in May. She's finally ready to roll, and judging by the c. 1885 Log Cabin quilt (above) her booth is a must-see. C14

Martha McDonald is trekking down from Massena, NY, up near Montreal, with a lot of great stuff. To wit: "architectural antiques and a varity of antiques, not really large furniture, maybe the odd table or chair set, lots of collectibles, some vintage clothing, primitives, like old crocks, and sadd irons, also vintage fabric frames and dishes." Martha also referenced "pillars of all sizes," which is intriguing to say the least. Say hi to Martha halfway down the midway, and maybe buy her a cup of coffee--that's a long trip! W36

In a common vendor refrain, it's time for Daniel Goldsmith to part with his "two storage spaces full of western goods, art, small furniture, pocket watches, 1920's-'50s ladies watches, very good but used computer parts and some Hollywood stuff from movie sets that I collected over the years." Allow the Flea to help Daniel make a clean break with his past! Near the pupusas, E27.

Painter Glen Rumsey is in the midst of a series of bird-inspired paintings (somewhat in the vein of Flea vet John Murphy, B19), and we love the look of his work (right), as well as its decorative potential. W43

We didn't welcome Beantowner Liz Donovan of Doc and Gam's last time, so we'll do it now. She's got a nice eclectic, affordable mix for gals and guys, including preppy letter sweaters, jean jackets, flannels, and Pringle cardigans. Don't feel like fall yet, but it's a-comin'. W44

On the upscale tip, 25th St. Garage vet Marijo Hornung swoops in straight from Brimfield with his "high-line" vintage clothing and costume jewelry. Purses out, ladies! W35

We thank recent newcomer Harry Cooker, also of the Garage, for sending Marijo our way, and urge you to peruse his well-curated selection of antiques over on the Vanderbilt fence, which is becoming quite the string of top-notch stuff! V6

Rounding out the first-timers:
Anna Stumpf, Fran Varron and Leah Shuchter are all doing the household-goods cleanout this Sunday--i.e., bargain/mega-find alert! E26, W18/19, and W23, respectively.

ADC Pottery and Glass represents the ceramic work of three Brooklyn artists:
Ann Morris, Demetria Chappo and Camille Abbe. Their work focuses on wheel-thrown pottery (bowls, mugs, plates, platters, vases) and hand-built wall
hangings and pockets (art pieces, vases and planters for the home and
garden). W25

Last-minute addition Honor Bowman of Wing Nut Brooklyn makes headbands, hair clips, wedding veils, and cocktail hats, working with craft birds, silk flowers, pearls, buttons, feathers, and costume jewelry. Pretty! E35
