This is my final post on my trip to NYC, and i'm sure everyone is getting tired of hearing about it by now, but I had to show some of the pictures of our other adventures when we were there. We decided to hit up a couple of flea markets while we where there, so here are some pictures of the garage flea market in Chelsea. Its this huge garage filled with all sorts of different types of treasures, but my favorite stand was one that had all of these vintage children's games and books, along with some great collections of old bottles, staplers and spools of thread! I didn't end up getting any games, but we did buy some vintage bottles to use for our wedding centerpieces and some amazing vintage flower illustrations for our house! We also went to the outdoor flea market in hell's kitchen, which was also fabulous, and where we bought some old drawer pulls for our new ikea dresser. but it was brutally cold out, so neither of us was willing to sacrifice our fingers, so no pictures from there!
We also took a visit to the Met, which I always love. My favorite exhibit this time, maybe because i was already thinking about vintage bottles thanks to the flea market was the old glass display.
Absolutely my favorite way to get into and out of the city is to take the ferry from NJ. On our trip back, it was so cold that the river had frozen over, but the ferries just plowed right through the ice anyways!
It looks like so much fun! I love taking the ferry too but I've never been when the river was frozen over. Oh, and I looove that coat!
ReplyDeleteI love the glass bottle piece, and your eggplant coat with the fur collar is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteohhh this makes me homesick! I used to go to the chelsea flea every saturday morning. I can't wait to see how you'll use the bottles for your wedding :)
