Brooklyn Bike Jumble: It’s a flea market for bikes and the people who love them! You will find new and used bikes, accessories, collectibles, artwork, and more bike-related treasures. 10AM – 4PM, Washington/JJ Byrne Park around the Old Stone House at 5th Avenue and 4th Street, Brooklyn
♥ Spring Crafts in Chelsea: I get excited every time Crafts in Chelsea rolls around because it’s such a wonderful market. The handmade artisans are outstanding and inspiring, and vendor fees go to support school activities at PS 11. The school holds a bake sale to keep you fortified for all the shopping. 11AM – 4PM, West 21st Street between 8th & 9th Avenues, Manhattan
Greenpoint/McCarran Park Greenmarket: This beautiful market on the outer edge of McCarran Park brings 15+ local and regional farmers, bakers, fisherman and more to provide fresh weekly staples to the neighborhood. Textile recycling and compost collection too! 8AM – 3PM, Union Avenue between Driggs & N 12th Street, Brooklyn
Perry-Phernalia: (No website.) This market happens just once a year, and it’s awesome. A mix of stoop sale + true antiques + block party, the market on Perry Street in the Village is a chock-full of treasures. 10AM – 6PM, Perry St. between Bleecker and West 4th Streets, Manhattan
Saturday & Sunday, May 9 & 10, 2015

You will also find thinks like stationery, inking stamps and bicycles. The designers come NYC and beyond. 11AM – 7PM Saturday, 12PM – 6PM Sunday, 123 W 18th Street (Metropolitan Pavilion), 2nd Floor, Manhattan
Happy Mother’s Day! ♥ ♥ ♥
