As we gear up for the third week of the Brooklyn Flea, here are some images from last week’s event. For the uninitiated, the Flea takes place on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the yard at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School at 176 Lafayette Avenue between Clermont and Vanderbilt Avenues in Fort Greene. And for those who’ve been grousing about the vendor mix, get ready for an onslaught of antique and mid-century furniture. Check out the Flea Blog for more details. Pray for sun!
Flea was great. Will definitely go again.
Next Sunday will be the sunshine day. I guarantee it.
Agreed that this was by far the best mix of vendors to date. As for the unrented space, it’s not for lack of demand. Our goal is to end up with the best possible mix of vendors in the long run. If we let in vendors now that we don’t think are up to snuff, it makes it more difficult to get to that perfect mix, say, two months out. Plus, there are the inevitable 4 or 5 no-shows every week. We’re working towards having more large vendors and trimming some of the dinky ones in the middle. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Man, could we use some sunshine though!
Today’s Brooklyn Flea seemed good. But there was some unrented open space in the school-yard. Good crowd of interesting people.
