« All Praise $1 Appraisals! - Scavenger Hunt Items: Sept. 19+20 »

It's tricky to differentiate amongst Fleas, but let's just say that this weekend is shaping up as a doozy. For regulars, we've got a nice crop of fresh faces at both markets as well as the return of several vendors from summertime sabbatical. Never been? See what a full Flea looks like in picturesque Fort Greene or dramatic DUMBO, and get what it's all about. Frankly, we haven't figured out what it's all about yet, but suspect it involves magic.

Doris sometimes shares a booth with other vendors, but this Sunday she strikes out on her own, complete with an awesome new name: Hippie Danish (as in Denmark). Tablewares, modernist toys, textiles, an Aalto (a Finn) umbrella stand (!?), vintage American flags, a Schwinn, and more. Stuff you want (above). I-61/Bridge, Sun

Sandra and George run the lovely little shop Hudson City Antiques on Ninth Ave. in Chelsea, and they have a fine eye for 19th and early 20th Century furniture and items. They'll be bringing mostly smalls on Saturday, as well as some Brooklyn-theme paperweights and cards they've created. Some Manhattan folks going for the big time in the BK! W6/FG, Sat

Graf heads alert: Evan Browning has hundreds of photos his dad took of NYC subway graffiti in the '70s (right), mostly in Brooklyn--the golden era. He's been scanning them and also has some originals, check 'em out. Word/life. E36/FG, Sat

Randi Ehrhart is coming in from North Adams, Mass., for the first time Saturday. She's a longtime dealer with "a storage room full of Indian clothing, antique bric-a-brac, art, jewelry, tons of beaded necklaces, beads, genuine stone, handblown glass, etc." Mostly she wants to sell face-to-face instead of online. So leave some time to sort through her treasures and have a chat. E28/FG, Sat

Planted landscapes and cards made from wallpaper (right) is where Justine is headed with her Earth Crammed with Heaven business--how could we say no? A self-described "landscape architect/graphic designer/maker of beautiful things/trapeze artist," Justine is just waiting to be discovered by all you crafty/design types. E17/FG, Sat

The Mac Support Store over on 7th St. in Gowanus is doing a little clearance sale on Saturday, with stuff like a $5 mouse, a $30 real wood keyboard, and an $80 PowerBook battery. Gearheads, see you at the iFlea. W15/FG, Sat

Akanke Watu is trying to raise some extra cash by parting with her closets full of gently used clothing, shoes, artwork, hats, toys, and more. Cash for clutter! W24/FG, Sat

Bronnie ran the Gallery for Wearable Art in Manhattan for 25 years, then got out. Starting tomorrow you'll have access to her "lifetime collection of antiques, mostly embroidered textiles, laces, antique children's books, a few dolls, unusual antique and vintage clothing of a very sophisticated variety plus many collectibles in all categories." Um, sounds really good! L15/FG, Sat

Christine runs the Shawnee Gallery down in Pennsylvania where she reps a bunch of great rural woodworkers, blacksmiths, and jewelers. We especially liked Richard Weber's "Spheres of Influence" earthenware (right). I-48/Bridge, Sun

Kara Krupnick lives in the 'hood, checked out the Flea for the first time in July, told us she wanted to sell her housewares and vintage duds. Done. V13/FG, Sat
