Reclaimed Home wants to know why I haven’t been there yet. Because our cousins from Baltimore are in town and they wanted to go so we’re meeting them for breakfast at Tom’s and then we’re off to the Flea. Afterwards they want to catch the Murakami at the Brooklyn Museum.

How’s that for a plan?

Here’s the word from Signor Flea about this weekend’s Flea:

We can’t seem to buy any sunshine at The Flea, but there’s a ton of things you can buy from the 175-odd vendors who set up every weekend in the 40,000-square-foot school yard at the Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene. Last weekend saw the arrival of a ton of new furniture dealers (see above); this weekend there’s a whole ‘nuther wave of vendors (including A&J 20th Century Design, formerly of Lafayette Street in Manhattan!). For more details check out yesterday’s post on the Brooklyn Flea blog. The market is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 176 Lafayette Avenue. Closet trains are the C and G to Washington/Clinton. Or you can take any of the number of trains that go to Atlantic Station and make the 10-minute stroll up Lafayette Avenue from there.
