weekend at the flea

I spent this past weekend selling at the Brooklyn Flea and it was fun! The traffic was a bit slower than I would've liked, but it's always so great meeting different vendors selling different things! I told myself that I wasn't going to buy anything but my boyfriend and I just HAD to get this vintage typewriter, practically in mint condition! The seller is Donna of Re-Surface Design who makes these amazing lamps like the microphone lamp I blogged about before. She's become a friend and she cut us a sweet deal on the typewriter. Her new hobby has become buying these vintage typewriters and fixing them up, cleaning them, putting in a new ribbon, etc.

I also bought a couple of bracelets from a young girl named Charlie who goes around selling handmade friendship bracelets (like the ones I used to make as a little girl) with her friend. Their parents both sell at the Brooklyn Flea on a regular basis, so they spend the day making these bracelets, convince everyone to buy them, and spend their loot on cool things they find at the flea. So cute! I bought one for each of my girlfriends back home in California and dropped them off in the mailbox today along with a letter on some handmade stationary I make, typed with my new typewriter!

Here are some pictures!
