Brooklyn Flea

A rainy Saturday made us feel lazy, but anyway we went to the Brookln Flea.

We got a vintage pot designed by Catherine Holm. Soooo cute! I want to collect her kitchenware.

This shop always has great things!! I wanted buy everything.......

We went to lunch at Miriam which is mediterranean food restaurant near by the flea.

This crispy dough was so awesome!
