Postcard from the May Flea

Junction Flea-RAIN OR SHINE!

 With record beautiful weather for the last twelve months, I suppose we had this coming to us! There was snow, hail, and rain! Not to mention only one person running the show due to fever caused delirium! The Chief Salvage's tent flew up and over the fence and down Dundas W, and not a cup of ice cold Flea Lemonade was sold (though I heard a rumour about some brave soul walking around the lot with an ice pop from Augie's).

With all of that, the vendors stuck it out and the Flea goers kept coming. Thank you to everyone from the bottom of our hearts for making it a 'memorable day', hopefully June 9th will be sunny and warm.

Vendor profile:THE BASIC ELEMENTS

The Basic Elements specializes in vegan and organic skin and hair care. Fed up with the toxic ingredients in commercial beauty products, we provide uncomplicated alternatives to those seeking to simplify and live more naturally. 

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!

We're back in the Junction at the corner of Dundas and Indian Grove with 70+ food, craft and vintage dealers. The airstream pulled into the lot from the country at midnight last night, the containers got a fresh coat of paint this afternoon, and I've got my outfit planned (it will be an unseasonably low 10 C on Sunday which calls for vintage coveralls from Mrs Huizenga and no need for unfashionable practical hats, also no need to worry about pesky old sun stroke). Kalpna, who some of you may know as @ghostfaceknitta or Old Weston has made hundreds of feet of rainbow bunting. We have a new mascot that is going to blow your mind, carnival cutout style. We have beer.   

The flea runs from 9-4, rain or shine.
