Fiona and I have been busy running around the city the last two days on field trips for the New York City Challenge and have been off to a great (re)start of the mission. The weather here has been perfect for site-seeing. Low 70s and Sunny! Friday, we visited the MoMa and yesterday we went to the Antiques Garage flea market on W. 25th Street with our good friend Jess.
Wow. I really wish I had visited this place before yesterday. As in, when we moved into our apartment three years ago. I would have used it to decorate and furnish our place. What a great flea market filled to the brim with everything a good Flea Market should have: clothes, books, furniture, jewelry, art, and various knick-knacks. I could have gone home with a few things and if we weren't moving in a few months I probably would have! The Brooklyn Flea seems to get a lot of press, but this flea is bigger, and seems to have a lot more of everything (except that it is all antiques and doesn't have any new artisans or food booths). Really, I would have been coming here often if I had known how good it was! Just walking through sparked my creative juices.
An old shoots and ladders type game, Canadian Toboggan style!!
Isn't this old wall paper fantastic! I love the colors and the design. Darn it. Just realized I should have bought this.
Great 50s light fixture hanging in the middle of this pic. How cool would that look over a dining table??
