Finders/Keepers August 8/9

Australian%20Scent%20SH%20winner%2009.jpg
The Hunters were quick to the kill on such a pretty weekend. We, however, were not as speedy or effective in our reportage, for which we apologize. We have one photo of a winner, and no names or info. We'll totally get on that from now on.

Thomas and Liza (above, left and right) found the chocolate-swirl soap in Eddie (center) and Megan's Australian Scent booth on Sunday. Thomas and Liza are from Battery Park City by way of Toronto, and it was their first time at the Flea. They weren't even looking for the photo, but Thomas saw it on Friday in some email update and recognized it immediately--serendipitous! The AS kids are the Flea's mainstay homemade body product folks, concocting soothing and healing lotions and potions that are all organic and small-batch. They're sweethearts too. W41 in Fort Greene and I-24 at the Bridge, every friggin' week.

The other items were as follows. (Looking for info on both those winners if you're out there.)
The suede ID holder was courtesy of Matthew of Steel Cake (and Pratt U.), whose chunky-sporty watch and tag-clock designs attract cool-hunters of all stripes to Fort Greene on Saturdays (he's in E17 or thereabouts). Matt's up and coming, check him out.

Photographer Amy Burchenal stepped up to the Hunt in her Flea debut--a noble effort. Her symmetrical black and white photo of the Brooklyn Bridge (that's a propos for those playing at home) was snapped up at like 11:01am. Amy also sells her groovy NYC photo-poem books, search 'em out to learn more. She'll be back at the Bridge this Sunday.
