Where in Carroll Gardens can one find the most eclectic mix of rare collectables, oriental carpets, pink tutus, beautifully planted flower boxes, Moroccan leather sandals, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck toys from the 1950's, religious artifacts, and black-and-white checkered spandex pants, all in one place?
Well, at the annual Carroll Park Flea Market of course.
Early morning clouds gave way to blue skies on Saturday morning, and so, Flea 2010 was off to a great start. The event was organized by the Friends Of Carroll Park, a non-profit organization that works tirelessly to maintain and plant our neighborhood park, one of the oldest in Brooklyn.
Hope you were able to attend. It was a blast. It was a great way to run into friends and neighbors, catch up on neighborhood news and empty one's closets. I had a table myself and was able to sell quite a few items that I no longer needed. And what did I buy with some of the proceeds?
A pair of beautiful, luxurious Moroccan slippers, of course.
(If you would like some for yourself, call Myriam's Market at 718 377 9642. She also sells beautiful leather sandals as you can see from the photos above.)
Were you there yourself? What did you buy!
