Day 309 – Brooklyn Flea…. across the Brooklyn Bridge!
Saturday 5th November 2011.
I have looked forward to this for years. Each trip to NYC I’ve longed to cross the river and rummage at Brooklyn Flea. But it’s never quite happened. I once managed the Rose Bowl in LA on a design trip, as we (by co-incidence) were there on the second Sunday of the month, and fell in love with the large sprawling ‘everything goes’ atmosphere of an American Flea Market. That time I carried home, a beach sign for France, an old coke bottle opener, and thousands of memories and cool photo’s and the promise that one day I’d return with a pick-up truck, and a shipping container!
As we were in NYC for 10 days this time, there were no excuses. So as Saturday dawned bright and gorgeous, I dragged everyone from their beds, and headed south to the start of the Brooklyn Bridge. Hubbie headed out to Connecticut with Richard, to check on the workmen, so it was Inigo, Thila and I, with the goal of finding the naffest gift for $5!
This was the day, through the lens of Lizzi, Inigo (on his newly purchased SLR) and Thila with her snapshots. Great memories!
