« BFF Of The Week: Homa Dashtaki - Scavenger Hunt Items: May 16 »

Phyliss Asher is a Brooklyn-based prop stylist who's whittling down her collection of vases, lamps, collectibles (above)--and vintage Playboys. She does the Flea when it strikes her fancy--she killed in Dumbo in February--and her stuff is picture-perfect. B20/FG, Sat

Flea Snack Alert! Melanie and Steve, the pop-up pup purveyors beyond Asia Dog, will debut tomorrow in Fort Greene with their kimchi, banh mi-style, bbq pork belly, and more styles of tasty weiners. They got your old-school, chicken, organic, and veggie varieties of dog, which have made them a big hit at Trophy Bar in Williamsburg on Tuesdays. Grub Street likes 'em, so will you. F4/FG, Sat

Jennifer and Andrew live around the corner from the Flea, are avid Fleasters, are now ready to share their collecting acumen with you. Their booth, Gentleman's Outfitters, will feature men's vintage clothes and shoes--Burberry, Barneys, Paul Stuart, etc.--and a nice little collection of records and accessories. These local but sophisticated booths are pure, unadulterated, distilled Flea--sip them like a fine aged Rye. E17/FG, Sat

Cherry Boutique is a swanky vintage shop on 8th Ave. in the West Village, and now Randy and friends are busting their Flea cherry with top-notch mens and ladies 20th C. garb. They're bigtime, and also move a ton of Joseph LaRose shoes. B1/FG, Sat

Asya comes to the Flea from Pawtucket, RI (go PawSox!), via St. Petersburg, Russia (and the Slope), and her delicate porcelain tableware is almost painfully pretty. Butterflies, mustard-seed pods, cherry blossoms decorate her Gleena bowls, cups, and vases (right), without being saccharine and annoying. A keeper. E18/FG, Sat

Jen's totes and T's as Black Sheep Heap say things like "Beet the System" and "Avant Gardener," and although we generally eschew the pun slogan, her aesthetic and process remind of Bread + Puppet and '70s country fairs, so we "dig" it. E25/FG, Sat

In addition to releasing a Bill Laswell-produced electro-funk album as Vodu 155 in 1995, Lionel and Constant are old-school Fort Greeners who now hang at the Flea on Saturdays. They have affordable vintage lamps, housewares, and some records, and Lionel also makes these awesome painted and sequined wine bottles that are the right decoration for an artsy pad. E23/FG, Sat

David's Artisan Emporia is a cool new fair-trade online shop for stuff like colorful telephone-wire baskets, totes made from recycled feed bags, lavender soaps from Zambia, silk scarves from Laos. Proceeds go to local artisans all over the world--you know the deal--and we like Dave and his outfit and his positive outlook. E16/FG, Sat
