in Brooklyn are like the Empire State Building is to Manhattan. A bit cheesey, a bit of a cliche, but they always make a nice picture.
For those in New York, this Sunday is the opening of the Brooklyn Flea. We’d be there looking around at everything but we’ll be at a weekend getaway in an upstate New York lighthouse. Anyhow, this is not your typical flea market ~ with vendors including Greenjeans and a whole slew of designers from Supermarket, I don’t really get what’s even flea-markety about it. So if you attend, don’t expect to be rummaging through the remains of some great-grandmother’s attic, but do expect to buy some really great craft and design pieces (most of them useful of course), and treat yourself to some cupcakes and other delicious baked goods.
Here are the event details: 10am to 5pm—rain or shine—starting April 6, 2008, at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Lafayette Ave. between Clermont and Vanderbilt Ave. It’s on every Sunday through the spring and summer, so if you’re around, stop by!
And for all you people near Oakland, Shawn wants to say he’d be at this print sale buying things if we weren’t on the other side of the country. Prints by The Small Stakes and Bloom Screen Printing, and talk about affordable art, each piece ranges between a whopping $5 to a wallet-friendly $25. It’s on this Friday night, April 4th, From 5:00 - 10:00. Bloom Screen Printing,2310 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA 94612.
