« Big in Taiwan! - Where We're At »

Looks like that New Yorker article is having an effect: two Manhattanites won the Scavenger Hunt this weekend. Where Brooklyn at?!

(Click to enlarge):

It was bearded Charles' (left) first time at the Flea, which he learned about from reading, yes, The New Yorker. He's from the big island, and was evidently excited to find the miniature metal piggy and horsey, which are super-cute. Katie of Rain Lily says they're made in India using the ancient "lost wax" metal casting technique. She's deeply dedicated to selling handmade items made by folks with less all over the world, especially women, and her eye for interesting stuff is awesome: Cambodian scarves, Northern India prosperity hens, jewelry, all kinds of pretty things. She's in #51 at One Hanson every weekend.

Lee is also from Manhattan, but he wouldn't tell us much beyond that. That's cool man. He found the Jacques + Julia cookbook in Mario's Avalon Books booth, which is always jampacked with interesting used books as well as Mario's artist pals graffiti-style small prints, which are in the background. Grafadelic!

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