Brooklyn Flea...

Sunday was a grim, grey and wet day - luckily we had no plans and nothing to do... We decided to go to Target in Brooklyn (not the most exciting thing to do I kn0w), so we got the train to Atlantic Avenue (a few stops away from our apartment) and made our way there.

On the way we saw a sign that said the Brooklyn Flea Market was on, and on for the next 12 weeks too - so hopefully we'll be able to go back and get some more stuff for the apartment, or hidden treasures.

The building that the market was in was a very grand, veeery tall building - it felt really special wandering around, looking up at the ceiling and all the arches and then seeing all the interesting things for sale, all the old bits and pieces and all the crafty things that people had made.

One man made jewellery out of old vinyl records, one lady made some lovely little animal cushions, other people had screen printed tshirts they'd made and tote bags, there were some artists in there, some people were selling coffee beans and chocolate then there were all the flea market stalls too...

I thought this little chap looked a lot of fun - he reminded me a bit of Wall•E...

I think we'll be going back there to have a better look, we were a bit wet and cold and hungry - so we went on to Target (stopping off for a hotdog on the way!) and got a couple of DVDs for other rainy days (we got Avatar, Up and The Muppets Take Manhattan!).
