Entertainment pour moi? Oh, you shouldn’t have!

Yeah, so we got rained on a little at yesterday’s Brooklyn Flea. Beats standing there all day in the sweltering heat. Not such a bad day considering. We got rid of a few larger pieces, creating some much needed storage space. And Elvis has left the building! After 2 weeks at the flea, the crocheted king went to a good, loving home. I’ll miss him.

I wandered around the market, but I was loving the gals right next door. Bleecker Street Antiques came from Sag Harbor (not Greenwich Village) with their small collectibles. I fell in love with the stone and terracotta corbels they brought, but alas they were too rich for my blood. Still, at $350 and $400, the price wasn’t crazy town. They come across lots of these babies as someone’s father (Or some such relative. I forget.) was in the salvage biz. The architectural artifacts are off of NYC buildings, but most of their inventory comes out of homes in and around The Hamptons.

I also took great interest in Local Labels. They were just setting up, so I didn’t want to bother them too much, but here’s their website. If you haven’t figured it out yet, they represent local businesses. The items range from baby goods to housewares to specialty food products. The website is really user friendly. You can search by price or item. Love to search by price! Always a happy thing, no?
