When we first moved to the Clinton Hill/Fort Greene area of Brooklyn in 2003, it was very quiet (except for the emergency vehicles and poorly muffled motorcycles). Even on weekends, I could walk for blocks and only see 3 or 4 people. Then the Farmers' Market and Brooklyn Flea arrived, and the throngs, and fun, followed.

| Great trio at the farmers' market. |
 |
| Someone wanted to get a move on... |
 |
| This handsome fella turned and gave me this perfect pose. |
 |
| About 4 feet tall. |
 |
| Love these tin (?) animals. They had some new ones this week. |
 |
| These are about a foot long. |
 |
This picture reminded me of a few of my favorite bloggers that have households with cats and dogs. |
 |
| Popular re-created and treated tin ceiling panels. |

| I thought these were hand-drawn, but they are photos on slate. Would make a beautiful series on a small wall. |

Old typewriters have become "hip". I'm proud to admit I started on a manual - the one my mother used to type up all my father's graduate school papers. I tried one of these, and I can't believe how far and hard the keys have to be pressed.

Pendants, rings and cuff links made out of old typewriter keys. Artie - I still have that set to send you! |

I ended with a treat - a chocolate egg cream. They said the pretzel stick makes it authentic. Reminds me of the new trend to put gourmet salts on chocolate. |

You guys can come too - they just starting allowing dogs in the Flea this year.
How interesting, and just on your doorstep too! I learned on a manual like those, but never did master the brute strength to press the 'a' and the semi-colon with my little finger!
