Fun Flean' in NYC

I should have taken more photos of the fleas..............But I was excited and buying. I know this is not flean' BUT it is fueln'! This place was so yummy! That brownie/cake/cookie. Was another example why I have to start the dreaded diet!
Now this was more nutritious so it stayed under glass!



Wish I could have taken that sign. Very cute!Oh! on the way we found one of my very favorite online stores. I got to go the bricks and mortar store. Exciting for me maybe not you! hehe............onward
OK this is the http://www.brooklynflea.com/  in a fabulous 1930 bank building. http://www.australianscent.com/ Found this booth on the way to the bathrooms. Naturally I checked it out. When I got home my Country Living magazine was waiting and there was Brooklyn Flea one of the top "out and about" antique markets! I was tickled for sure.


Next up was Hell's kitchen.
I found lots of goodies! Here is a peek.I could not believe that I bought that tool carrier. BUT I love it! The sprinkler heads will be very cute as swimming pool towel holders. Of course I could not pass up a chance at numbers and letters. Old iron faucet "turner oner" things.
Last but not least.....................My pooped compadres.
All in all it was a fun day. I have just a few more pictures. I will wait for another day. No burnout on my blog!

I spent 5 weeks in NYC as a student (20 some years agao) and I can't imagine what it'd be like to go junkin' there. You just couldn't over buy or how would you haul it? I suppose you can back your truck up but wow the traffic. Can you tell I'm from NE?! Thanks for "taking us along"! Also, congratulations to your daughter. I've heard that Australia is beautiful. I've had a few purchases from my Etsy shop from Autstralia. Vintage is alive and well there!
