Last Saturday turned out to be quite eventful for me. It began with a 16 mile training run in preparation for the upcoming New York City Marathon. Upon finishing I got some news that my girlfriend was proposed to the night before. An immediate celebration was in order. I already had my sights set on a visit to the Brooklyn Flea that afternoon and it so happens that my friend lives two blocks away. After a nap and much needed replenishment I set my sights on Fort Greene, Brooklyn with my favorite tote, a bottle of chilled champagne (already in my refrigerator as I always stock to prepare for any unforseen celebrations) and my camera.
As mentioned in a previous post, this is the girlfriend that is moving to Switzerland in October. She and her significant other were having a stoop sale to clean house before the move.
I snagged a Marc Jacobs dress I hope to debut later on my blog. It’s the colorful one above on the right.
The fancy ring with a vintage touch. It’s special as it was her Grandmother’s ring which was passed down.
I excused myself and ventured over to the Brooklyn Flea Market.
What better way to cool off on a hot summer day…
This little stand caught my eye and apparently I wasn’t the only one. They use fresh local fruit to make their popsicles as well as shaved ice. I tried the Apricot and Lavender pop. It was sensational.
I snapped some photos to document the town on my way back to the apartment.
Yet another stoop sale. These are quite popular in this neck of the woods.
Arriving back to the newly engaged couple, a champagne toast ensued among friends followed by the remainder of a perfect afternoon day on a stoop laughing and smiling with pals.
