Atlantic Antic




Last Sunday Oct. 4th was the 35th annual Atlantic Antic street fair. The fair started on Fourth Ave. in Park Slope all the way down Atlantic to the water ending on Hicks St. What a HIKE! 10 Blocks never seemed so far! It was my first time at the fair and it pretty much succeeded all my expectations. I meet up with some great friends, drank some fantastic sangria's, got a lil buzzed (then I walked it off), bought some great ish, ate some great fair food, and met AMAZINGLY INSANE CREATIVE Up and Coming Designers. So all in all Amazement.
I was with probably about 6 of my girlfriends and we all walked over to one booth and were in awe, so many beautifully completed pieces to choose from. Each one of us has our own unique creative style and this designer had a different piece for each and every one of us. Now that is what I call designing with your customer/customerS in mind. The pieces I bought were a long drop silver chain with a small silver leaf attached at the end of the earring and gold filigree with peach rose charm earrings. They both are perfect to dress up any casual day look. Both are light in weight and were only $20.00! Now if that's not a deal I don't know what is! Check out their creations at www.ktcollection.com.
The other purchases I made were 2 pairs of vintage earrings. The first pair are a round plastic cream circle with a 1920's floral decal. The others were so 80's that they had to be mine. A 2 tone piece - how 80's can it get! They were small gold hoop with a small dangle square in silver with the outline in gold. What great finds and.. only $5.oo!! So in total I spent $50.00 for 4 pairs of great timeless pieces to add to my collection! Talk about a bargain shopper! I also got Jimmy a Barry White Record to sample. He said he got a few heat rocks from it so money well spent on my part! All in all great day at the fair with my girls and great pieces that I have worn pretty much everyday so far!
