You know it’s officially Spring when the flea markets come back…along with the allergies. Some outdoor markets tough it out through the winter. Special shout out to Green Flea and Annex Market vendors for struggling through the cold this year. Maybe one of the reasons Manhattan is still Borough #1, although this Brooklynite hates to admit it.… Continue reading Flea Market Season Is Here!
The vintage clothing king and queen of the Brooklyn Flea are making frames now. Larry and Amy of Jellyroll Vintage are also Framy. Got that? I do. I ordered five, count ’em, five custom Framy frames from these guys before Christmas and I finally hung them all today. So exciting! A little background here. Amy… Continue reading Framy Frames

I’m still trying to get rid of… Continue reading Last Ft. Greene Flea of the Season
I actually hauled my tuchus back to the Brooklyn Flea to hawk my wares last Saturday. I did get a chance to wander away from my own booth for a few minutes to check out some other vendors. My “Wow, that’s impressive!” award this week goes to Scott Behr of TMRnyc. TMR is a metal… Continue reading Flea Find: TMRnyc Metalwork
Yup. It’s not even Halloween and I’m talking Christmukkah already. This year the Brooklyn Flea takes Gifted back to our favorite boro. The 9 day festival of fleas will take place at the beautiful 1 Hanson (aka Williamsburg Savings Bank). Design Sponge is partnering up.
Trying to get back to work after the whole moving meshugas. I won’t lie. It’s been tough getting motivated. It took me all week to make a few pieces for Crafts in Chelsea on Saturday. In November, it’s holiday season at the Brooklyn Flea.
Gonna be hawking my wares at a new (ish) market this Sunday. The Hester Street Fair is only a few months young, but both shoppers and vendors seem to be happy enough with it so far. Like the Brooklyn Flea (Hello, I’ll be there on Saturday!), it’s semi-curated with a mix of vintage, crafts and… Continue reading The Hester Street Fair
This Saturday I was back selling at the Ft. Greene Brooklyn Flea after an extended absence to work on my house. It was kind of nice to go away and come back because it made me appreciate it even more. The photo above shows a sampling of upcycled light fixtures by Peg and Jon Van… Continue reading Brooklyn Flea Finds

Brooklyn Flea at One Hanson (aka The Willamsburgh Savings Bank) has been packed to the rafters with vendors, but they managed to squeeze me in for this Sunday. So, come visit! I’ll be in space #35. That’s… Continue reading Finally.One Hanson
I’m back, bitches! Kind of left you hanging the tail end of 2009. Well, the world didn’t stop spinning for any of us, so here’s the run down…. The crazy holiday schedule at Gifted kept me from blogging. I maintained the online store at first, but as the show got busier, I just put… Continue reading Looking Back, Moving Forward (or Back)
Can’t believe how lame I’ve been about blogging. Well, it’s not gonna get any better. Now Gifted is open every day until Christmas eve. No more Mondays and Tuesdays off. Not that I updated this blog on those days. And it’s open until 8pm most nights except Wednesdays, which is the 9pm free beer… Continue reading How Ya Doin?
Yeah yeah, I know I haven’t posted in awhile. I’m a little busy, ok??? I did have a chance to shop Gifted on a slow weekday last week. I bought a ton of recycled vintage clothes from Grace Napoleon. I don’t see any of her upcycled creations on her Etsy shop. Probably because she… Continue reading Upcycled Clothes for the Upcycled Girl!
Yesterday I packed up the 6 cats and headed down to Brooklyn to stay full time with the husband and dogs in our 1 bedroom garden apartment. It’s only for three weeks while I’m working Gifted, then we’re off to Dublin for Christmas. So actually, I’m home UNTIL the holidays. Just wanted to check… Continue reading Home for the Holidays
