I’ve been a busy bee! From spending two weeks on the East Coast in New York City and The Pocono’s to a trip to Las Vegas and a busy time at work in-between, time has flown by!! And I have loved every minute of it. I love reading RACKED and this recent story caught my attention – Bergdorf Goodman Loves Flea Markets So Much, It’s Hosting One. The words ‘Bergdorf Goodman’ and ‘flea market’ don’t seem like they should be in the same sentence! But it IS true – last week Bergdorf hosted the 5F Flea with vintage from What Goes Around Comes Around and a preview of Dannijo’s holiday collection and there are other 5F Flea’s planned! This may be a good excuse to go to NYC, Bergdorf and another flea market!
During our trip to NYC, one of the things on my list was to visit the Brooklyn Flea. The Flea features hundreds of top vendors of antique and repurposed furniture, vintage clothing, collectibles and antiques, as well as a tightly curated selection of jewelry, art, and crafts by local artisans and designers, plus delicious fresh food. We went to the Flea that takes place every Sunday (rain or shine!) on the Williamsburg waterfront – a little area of Brooklyn. I would highly recommend visiting Brooklyn Flea if you are out in NY – it’s also a good excuse to head out of Manhattan for the day! We wandered around for about an hour, admiring all of the vintage goods – from wool suits, fur and boots to beautiful furniture (I wish we weren’t thousands of miles of way from home or else I would haven’t wanted to take home a few pieces!) From gorgeous wooden furniture, to mirrors and trunks….we had to bring something home with us! I LOVE owls and found these two cute vintage owls – one big one and one small and Nigel bought a belt buckle (to add to his collection!)
Stay tuned for a post this weekend on ‘What I Wore in NYC’!
