The Seventh Avenue Fair had it all yesterday. Rain and Sun. In the morning there were intermittent heavy downpours and sun showers.

By afternoon it was sun, sun, sun. I only made it from Third Street to Lincoln Place.

Highlights included:

A reading by Nina Crews of her new book, The Neighborhood Mother Goose, at the Community Bookstore’s tent.

I bought a lovely Fofolle skirt at the Brooklyn Indie Market’s booth (pictured left). There were beautiful necklaces by one of the women who runs Urban Alchemy.

Bags, wallets, and money clips by InsidersNY were a treat. Made in Brooklyn’s Navy Yard, the owners photograph Brooklyn and NYC scenes and print them on leather. The results are really fun!

My Little India a shop on South Elliot Place in Ft. Greene had gorgeous curtain panels, rugs, furniture and soap.

Good old Tiki Girl’s Shop had a large selection of mod/hippy rayon dresses, shirts, and her famous bell bottom pants for American Girl Dolls, as well as real girls and women.

The new Mexican place, Barrio, came out with sangria, salsa, guacamole and tasty looking entrees.

D’Vine Taste, Park Slope’s fave middle eastern grocery store, had an unbelievably large selection of food and drinks.
