New York City Street Fairs are an interesting phenomenon that always include an eclectic mix of vendors and excitement. Where else can you stumble upon bulk spices, exotic jewelry, cell phone accessories, bulk socks, cubed watermelon, gyros, smoothies, and funnel cake all on the same block?
So this past Saturday when I was running errands, I really had NO intention of detouring from my my path to the dry cleaners, but then out of the corner of my eye I spotted it...a street fair on 84th Street between 2nd and 1st Avenue!
Once I saw this fair I couldn't help but let my curiosity get the best of me, so I told myself that Duane Reade and my dry cleaning would have to wait five minutes, and I entered the fair. Now when the first thing I saw upon entering this fair was a table full of cosmetics that looked like they were at least five years old, I must admit that I was not feeling too good about my decision to take a break from my errands...
But then out of the corner of my eye I saw it...a table FULL of great fabrics, beautiful pillow covers, and needlepoint. Were my eyes playing tricks on me?!
I soon discovered that no my eyes weren't playing tricks on me, this table really was the diamond in the rough of this street fair. Skeptical? Well don't take my word for it! Here are a few photos of what I found...
