The Junction Flea is a brand new little market in Toronto, featuring a "curated" selection of vendors of vintage, antiques and new designs from the neighborhood and surrounding environs. I managed to catch the second market last month, and there is one last one this summer on the 9th of September, so see you Sunday!
Held in a vacant lot just east of Dundas and Keele, the Junction Flea features antiques, vintage clothes and accessories, Toronto designers, a few food options, a fortune teller and a great business called The Tintype Studio. Run by a graduate of the PPCM program and some friends, the Tintype Studio shoots tintype portraits for a one of a kind likeness. I stole from photos from a Globe and Mail article about the flea, and the studio, since I didn't take that many while I was there.
The two above photos are by Kalpna Patel, and were stolen from this article.
The last market netted me some wonderfully kitschy tea towels and a photograph of a bear from the 60s, and this month's found a very large cabinet card of a bride and her bridesmaids from probably 1900. I'm looking forward to the next flea, and Aberfoyle this weekend!!! Pictures to come of one of my favorite markets ever.
