Mr. T and I finally made it to this weekend’s Brooklyn Flea-and the inaugural scavenger hunt! The rules are simple: If you find one of the three posted items first, you get to keep it. For free! Needless to say, we were not very good scavengers that day, mostly because we were so distracted by everything there was to see. We explored every tent, every alley, sampled the oh-so-delicious Mexican street ices (cucumber jalapeño and blueberry mint…mmm!). And we walked away with some treasures of our own:

1. A beautiful green glass jar to sit next to our Exide battery jar (originally known and used as a “Voltaic Accumulator”), above.
2. Buttons – I can’t resist them! Some I bought to add to a vintage coat, some I’ll add to a new hat that needs some embellishing, and the last two I think will make charming rings. (I’ll keep you posted…)
3. A necklace with colorful glass teardrops hanging from three intricate chains.

Okay, so most of the treasures were for me-but Mr. T played wingman as I did my best negotiating!

While we were there, we stopped in to say hello to our friends Amy and Jae, the delightful proprietors of Greenjeans “libre”. Check out Amy’s blog to get to know what they’re all about!

We’ll definitely be back soon-we like a good game of hide and seek, and want to test our skills on the next scavenger hunt! Click for more information on the Brooklyn Flea.
