Every Saturday I head over to Fort Greene to spend my day outside, rummaging through the Brooklyn Flea. The Flea features a mix of 100+ vendors selling handmade arts and crafts, vintage clothing, antique furniture and collectibles, as well as amazing local food and much more. I always leave feeling fully inspired to either take on a new D.I.Y. project or revamp my apartment. The Flea has recently expanded to a new site on the Williamsburg waterfront every Sunday as well, so you can enjoy two days of shopping outdoors. Check out their site for a list of all vendors, directions and upcoming events.
