Its always a must when visiting Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Flea. Unfortunately, it started right after we moved in 2008--Probably a good thing for me. During a recent trip we decided we would make a morning of it there, get our coffee and chocolate croissants and meet up with some good friends. Still some of the same vendors from the last time, but there were a few new ones that really caught my eye. One in particular was the jewelry by FORT
fort.etsy.com. She had an amazing display draped with intricate chain crochet necklaces. I was instantly drawn to her rough wood display which was complemented by the different textures and colors of chain. She uses incredibly fine chain and crochets it to create an almost dripping look for some necklaces and also crochets it around crystals and and stones. I of course had to buy one, and I have worn it daily ever since!
