And while, hands down, we definitely prefer shopping fleas rather than working them, we had a great time and met a bunch of super cool people!<br />Here are some of the highlights of the summer ....</span><br /></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;"><strong>Saturday, May 16 ...

The day was a bit gray, with stormy clouds looming overhead, but luckily, the rain never came down. We met a lot of great people and happily, our bestest of friends got a booth right next to ours (pineconeandchickadee and kidjits) so we got to chat all day long! and the food! the Fort Greene Flea has the best food .... mangoes with lime juice and chili powder .... yummy with a kick! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and of course, we hope you all love your new vintage wears! We can't wait to do it again and again and again!<br /></span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LEICUfRx87Q/SpLMiMbH6RI/AAAAAAAAAu8/x-uMXFYGE3o/s1600-h/FLEA+FG+may16+blog.JPG"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373582193229031698" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 140px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LEICUfRx87Q/SpLMiMbH6RI/AAAAAAAAAu8/x-uMXFYGE3o/s400/FLEA+FG+may16+blog.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> <span style="color:#ff0000;">Our awesome friends and shoes, shoes, and more shoes!

There was something about the late Spring day and fresh grass and a cool breeze that made people want to shop, shop, shop! And here are a few things that I wished would come home with me:</span></p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LEICUfRx87Q/SpLYYNrK9nI/AAAAAAAAAv0/j0SqC0OBeck/s1600-h/blog_craft_show.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373595215905617522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 270px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LEICUfRx87Q/SpLYYNrK9nI/AAAAAAAAAv0/j0SqC0OBeck/s400/blog_craft_show.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LEICUfRx87Q/SpLUFVqg0tI/AAAAAAAAAvc/6jpOgz6ShPY/s1600-h/blog_craft_show.JPG"></a><span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="color:#000000;">top row:</span> Cuff Modern, Happy Owl Glassworks, Looka, Tomgirl;<span style="color:#000000;"> middle row:</span><span style="color:#ff6600;"> Get Felt Up, Pinecone And Chickadee, Giant Dwarf, Moth Designs;</span> <span style="color:#000000;">Bottom Row:</span> Metal Sugar, Orange Porangy, Cakehouse, Paper Parasol</span><br /></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;"></span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Renegade always inspires me to do more and to get crafty, so this year, i sewed up some Summertime tent dresses ... made with vintage fabric!</span><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373595660007540930" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 195px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LEICUfRx87Q/SpLYyEFUiMI/AAAAAAAAAv8/8yqNjL3MS78/s400/b+dress+SUMMER+TENT+blog.JPG" border="0" /> for years and years, I have been idling away my long summer days in the perfect, cotton tent dress * whether I was lounging around, gardening on my fire escape, running to the store for a pint of ben &amp; jerrys ... this dress has been there with me ... feeling like a spring breeze and looking pretty darn cute. When I was digging out my seasonal clothes, I was dismayed to find that my beloved dress had become so threadbare that it must be retired! Frantic about finding another perfect everyday-any-occasion-dress, I decided to make one myself ... and then I made more and more and more ... and there are not that many days in the summer season, so I am sharing them with you ... summer tent dresses ... for when it is too hot to think about what to wear .... for $20.00, they'll keep you cool!<br /></span><br /><br /><br /></p><p><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"><strong>JULY 19th ...

The atmosphere was super cool ... laid back ... with a DJ spinning tunes ... and drinks, great food, and places to chill out and enjoy the day! This flea even has a bocce ball court ... I wish I knew how to play! My little niece joined the fun and hobbled around in high heels all day long pretending to be our ever-present customer ... she is super cute! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and as always, I hope you love your vintage wears!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/740085417786486486-6290376714695490055?l=www.fashionrerun.com' alt='' /></div>fashionrerunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10595772966488672719noreply@blogger.com
