The answer to the rhetorical question above this weekend is: A LOT.
Here's a rundown for you to plan your gorgeous last flippin' weekend of September cuz Fall is near and that means that less skin + (tattoos x 2) + Barcade = Van Leeuwen Yellow Truck + to-go - [longing for trouble + n/2]. Someone help us please…
Enter Vintage State of Mind (above). VSY's lovingly curated collection of vintage clothes, accessories and home decor are newfound to the scene but the stuff of a gentle old soul. Sunday, The Vintage Market, 12-8pm.
ArtisanEmporia hits the ground running this Sunday with a collection of fairtrade accessories and crafts carefully culled from a lifelong love of travel and a commitment to discovering and sharing some of the choicest items from farflung places. Sunday, Indoor Artist & Designer Market, 12-8pm.
peachykeane is proof positive that what's delicious, fetching and touch-worthy is that much more exquisite when it's worn – as in worn on the body (above, right). Artist Ilana Keane has a wizard's touch in making glass shine in such a way that it feels as though it ought to be considered a precious metal as good as gold. Sunday, Indoor Artist & Designer Market, 12-8pm.
Georgette Johnson brings true artisanship to her work in creating handmade, one-of-a-kind English bridle belts. Each is made to order and uses brass folding hoof picks – originally used by riders to clean their horses' hooves on the trails! – as a buckle. Super real deal stuff that are made to keep your pants on strong. Saturday, Indoor Artist & Designer Market, 12-8pm.
Don't forget that the Market in McCarren finishes the season tomorrow (Saturday) beginning at 10am with tons of entertainment, arts & crafts and coolio merch.
Check it. Live it. And love it.
