What's New?

This Sunday is shaping up as a stellar Flea mix, and there are actually too many awesome new vendors this week to highlight them all. Our apologies to those we didn't mention.

Just Ask Shirley is Shirley's mish-mash of wicker baskets and antique fans, phones, table lamps, books and records--all kinds of stuff, as she describes at. For all you pickers. B4

Harry Cooker had an antiques store in Queens for a long time, and now he mostly does the Chelsea markets on Saturdays. This Sunday he tries out our Flea, with a nice mix of costume jewelry, small furniture, bric-a-brac, and paintings. See what's cookin' with Harry! V4

pinecone%20card.jpgEx-Brooklynites Pinecone + Chickadee make the trek down from Maine (Senor Flea's home state!) with their hand-silkscreened greeting cards (right), journals, and T's. We like their aesthetic a lot, and have our eyes on their sasquatch T-shirt! V5

Also, tons of vintage furniture this week, including new and returning vendors:
Tony from Barntiques down in PA unleashes his finely crafted furniture made from discarded wood of all sorts. He's done custom work for lots of celebs and for snazzy restaurants around the city. Tony often does the 17th St./6th Ave. Flea, so welcome him warmly to the BK. W1

Right nearby you'll find Aaron Aardvark & Son, a top-notch shop in New Brunswick, NJ, that covers every variety of mid-century furniture and collectibles. They'll be crossing two rivers to join us, so say hi to Lamar and crew. W5

The bearded fella known to Senor Flea only as Long Island Eddie seems to have made Brooklyn his Sunday home, and his 2 spots along the Clermont fence are chock-a-block with deals on desks, chairs, tables, all of it enticing. C5/6

Antiques + Collectibles, who spread out bigtime with a huge range of furniture the first couple months of the market, mark their return this Sunday. W3

My Little India, the former Fulton St. Fort Greene spot, has become a fixture on the Vanderbilt fence, with all kinds of gorgeous home furnishings from the subcontinent. V14/15/16
