« Preppin' for Dumbo - April 25 Slideshow »

One of the most competitive and quality Hunts in Flea history ended quickly, as predicted. Not sure we've ever seen Fleasters so pleased to Scavenge as witnessed this weekend. Excellent sleuthing!

Left to right:
The kids plaid suitcase was found by Virginia Braun of Park Slope (via New Zealand) (right) at 10:52am. She snagged it in Val's Kings County Salvage booth, her newly launched indie biz for all things Americana that also make sense in your urban pad. Such good pickins in her booth--W1 in Fort Greene, 7/8/9 in Dumbo, every week. Yes, Virginia, there is a Flea Claus.

Afton Cissell was so psyched when she unearthed the 1926 atlas in Lon Black's booth at 12:25pm. Lon had hid it well, knowing it was coveted by blogreaders, smart move. Afton lives in an NYU dorm near Union Square, and this was her first Flea excursion, which made us a little misty-eyed frankly. The squeals of joy from Afton and pals were audible and downright joyous. Lon slings his amazing vintage postcards and printed ephemera in L9 in Fort Greene and #2 in Dumbo, every darn weekend. (He's also a professional cat massager at Hope Veterinary Clinic...seriously. See below.)

Check back Friday at noon for this week's items.
