See What Happens When You Flea?

So many vendors have gained additional attention or business from selling at the Flea, which is one our core goals as an "entrepreneurial incubator."

Elma and Brian of Blint Design hold it down every week in B2 with their beautifully crafted funky but modern jewelry, and after years of hard work they're about to set up their own brick-and-mortar shop, Baubles & Thorn. Their brownstone ground-floor spot at 111 Lafayette Ave. (at S. Oxford St.)--just down the block from the Flea--has its grand opening tomorrow (Wed.) evening at the fab new shop, 6-9p. You're all invited!

Nightwood%20TONY.jpg The Nightwood gals, Myriah and Nadia, have gone from fly-by-night hobbyists to kind-of-big players on the "rejuvenated" furniture scene. One day at the Flea the Matta folks cleaned out their entire booth, and you can now see their work decorating Matta's groovy Lafayette St./Soho store. So cool.

Then Design*Sponge highlighted their awesome stuff in their recent post about the Flea's upcoming Fall Furniture Festival (starting this Sunday!), curated by Greenjeans, and just last week Time Out ran this cute/hilarious story (right) following the gals as they salvaged wood from Fort Greene garbage piles. Well-deserved yo! (Nightwood is in B1 this Sunday, and in the Furniture Fest Oct. 19.)

Marisa's spanking-new whoopie pie (and more) outfit WannaHavaCookie got a visit from a producer from that arbiter of culinary taste, Rachel Ray, and wouldn't you know it, this Thursday at 10:00am, Wanna's "Baker's Choice Sampler" will be featured as the Snack of the Day on one of the most-watched food shows on TV. (Check here for local listings.) Marisa is around E5 or so every other Sunday.
