Although I cannot official-ize this review until I have actually experienced it on opening weekend (April 14th & 15th), I can review the experience thus far as a vendor interacting with the founders of Flea For All and the physical space, itself. I will update my review after opening weekend.
As a seller of vintage wares (bowling accessories, clothing, accessories, jewelry, toys, kitchen goods, and more), I was approach by the founders of Flea For All through my etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/AlleyOopVintage) and asked to consider participating in their brilliant flea market plan. I accepted and the planning began! I met both owners of the Flea For All (Erin and Nathaniel), who were both very pleasant, excited, organized and talented with a grand, well though out, vision. I also had the chance to meet some of my fellow vendors, and was pleased by everyone's excitement, talent, and variety of goods. The goods are mostly vintage (clothing, accessories, furniture, etc), arts and crafts of great variety, and fine arts.
The Flea For All space is gorgeous! The gorgeous 3-floor building, once home to Asia West, is located on the corner of Elm St and Kennebec St, in the upcoming Bayside area. Other surrounding local businesses are Bayside Bowl, Schlotterbeck & Foss, The Aphodion, Whole Foods Market, Walgreens, The Miss Portland Diner, G & R Dimillos, Port City Bikes, and more to come! The space, itself, is lovely; classically rustic: hardwood floors, exposed beams, high ceilings, warm lighting, large windows, soft and fresh paint, and beautifully carved accents.
I can't wait to see the space filled with all the wonderful local talent The Flea For All has gathered!
Bravo!
