Brooklyn Flea

Posted on by Hijiri

Last Saturday, I stopped by Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene — It was so great! I guess I hadn’t been there this year yet, I was surprised it got really big! I might have to go check it out every weekend now… (until they close for winter time.)

I found lots of inspirations, letters, took some pictures — enjoy!

Save Polaroid

Posted on by Hijiri

I cruised by Brooklyn Flea last Sunday (ohhh my god, it was hot as hell!! I thought I did a farewell to Summer… spoke too soon) and I saw a “Save Polaroid” booth and to me, that was the most interesting booth at the market — I know that they announced that they will discontinue production of all instant film this year and I was sad to hear that, but seeing people actually doing something about it, I thought I wanted to do something, too! We must save Polaroid! You can go to “Take Action” page and find out what you can do… the Action Pack is actually really cool.

From the booth:

I purchased these Polaroid magnets… with the empty Polaroid film case packaging, I was sold.

and then, people at the booth gave me a “Polaroid Camera Girl” pin! I was so happy — Thank you!!

My calender was marked for this day since I met Grace from Design *Sponge in January. The first Brooklyn Flea! It was so packed, too, even though it was cold out (It was like San Francisco cold.) It’s happening every Sundays now and made me happy that I could come here every week if I wanted to. It’s in Forte Green, Brooklyn, a few stations away from where I live. They had from antique stores to hand-made crafty goods to soap, foods, arts, prints, vintage clothes, fabrics…. everything!

Shopping with Maia poking her head out of my bag always gets lots of attentions – this day was the best/worst. It’s great that everyone loves her and she puts everyone a big smile, but it is hard when she gets attentions every 5 seconds! I couldn’t shop much… but oh well. I can come back next week!
