Saturday- flea market, times square, then home

I was very excited to go to the Chelsea flea market today, as it is something of a legend among collectors and designers. There is an antiques district, but the main event is the ad-hoc market and it's "annex" which is in an empty lot down the street, which are the latter photos in this section.

The chelsea flea market is a parking garage that is two stories high, filled with people at folding tables with hundreds of things spread out. There is no air conditioning, and it is very non-glamorous, despite the fact that supermodels and celebrities are reported to shop there. On this sweltering Saturday, no supermodels or celebrities were to be seen. I came away with a wooden mini lawn bowling set for $45. I didn't take a photo, unfortunately, and wish I had snapped a shot of John and I lugging it across town in order to ship it back home fed-ex. I'll post a photo of the set when I get it.
