Perfect Little Somethings - Gift finds at the Brooklyn Flea Market

Despite the cold weather I dropped by the Brooklyn Flea Market today. There was a huge turnout and it was exciting to see so many vendors showcasing their wares. It will be one of my go to places to find great gifts. Here are some of my favorite finds.



Brooklyn based Greenjeans showcased a number of items including handmade toys made by Frank Ridley. I particularly loved the wonderfully crafted Wooden Helicopter. The helicopter is made out of white pine and doesn't have any artificial finishes. It's a great natural, simple toy that any kid will love. You can purchase Frank Ridley's wooden toys at Greenjeans for $18.


I couldn't pass up Loyalty and Blood's Letter Tote. It's made out of canvas and comes in either small or large. It's perfect to take to the supermarket or to the flea market. You can purchase this tote for $22 at Loyalty and Blood.








Amy Holbrook designs fun needlepoint kits. I picked up her Stitchable Journal in the Rio design. I love that you can personalize the journal with a needlepoint monogram. It's a great gift for a crafty person. You can purchase the stitchable Journal for $22 at Amy Holbrook.





Bonbon Oiseau's keyfobs and necklaces immediately caught my eye. The keyfobs are made out of antique brass with various handstamped motifs. The keyfobs can also be used as pendants on chains. The necklaces are really unique jewelry pieces. To order these pieces email info@bonbonoiseau.com. Prices range from $48 -134.

Perfect Little Somethings - Personal Library Kit



When I was a kid I loved books. I enjoyed reading so much that I decided to set up a library in my bedroom. I arranged my books on a table and put up a sign-out sheet for anyone who wanted to borrow my books . Well, my days as a librarian were cut short by a little brother who never followed by my library rules. When I came across the Personal Library Kit I couldn't help smiling because it brought back memories of my childhood and my futile attempts to set up a library. The kit comes with a date stamp, an ink pad, self-adhesive pockets, and checkout cards. This is a perfect gift for any child or adult who loves books. And, it can be used for keeping track of other loaned items. The Personal Library Kit is now on sale for $16.99 at Restoration Hardware.

Little Perfect Somethings - Dwell Studio Bottle Holders

I love Dwell Studio's bedding and it's really great that they are expanding their children's line. I recently bought an expecting friend a stroller blanket and hooded towels in Dwell's dots pattern. I don't know how I missed Dwell's adorable bottle holders, because they would have been a hit. Dwell Studio's bottle holders are made out of coated canvas. The insulation keeps baby bottles cold or warm. They come in an array of patterns so you can coordinate with other Dwell products. They are the perfect gifts for new or expecting mothers. The bottle holders can be purchased for $20 each at Giggle.
