Brooklyn Flea

Really nice Fleas both days this weekend, thanks for comin' out. Stylish gals Scavenged skillfully.

1. Saturday: Mindy (right) is a regular Fleaster, but this was her first venture into Hunt territory—and wouldn't you know she emerged victorious! She's a vintage lover, so it makes sense that she loves her new vintage '80s clutch. She found it before noon.

She's with smiling Sharon, who with hubby Carl are Hairy Mary's Vintage, the former LES shop now with a humble home at the Flea. They commute from scenic Woodstock, and are a fixture in L11 at the main entrance since the get-go with their colorful, flowery, flouncy vintage and reconstructed dresses, tops, coats, footwear and accessories, from Victorian to the '80s, at prices we can all afford. They're at One Hanson on the center aisle every Sunday too.

2. Sunday: Maybe Lisa (left) from the Slope found the headscarf in awesome Chika's booth due to their apparently kindred spirits? It's an intense photo, two strong ladies. We love it. Lisa's son loves the Flea and convinced her mom to hit One Hanson on Sunday, and voila, she walks out a prizewinner.

Chika's biz Mercato features pretty handmade scarves, totes, T's, and more, with a sort of flowery-minimal aesthetic that Fleasters can't seem to get enough of. Chika's crafty in the way we love, and she's at the Saturday and Sunday markets every weekend.
