Out with the Old Season, in With New September Vendors
Every month our favorite Flea vendors set sail and plan their return to port Tyler to celebrate their new collections, creations, and new found treasures. In addition to our staple vendors we all love and come out to support each month, are our new vendors! Check back here every month to find out who will be joining our CLE Flea Fleet!
- Who they are: John Sokorai and Meghan Hopkins Sokorai run And Here We Are, producer of hand-illustrated and lettered modern letterpress art prints, posters and cards.
- Why we love them: John and Megan fuse antique and contemporary in ways that we weren’t sure were possible.
- Team Flea Pick: We’re in love with their “Cattern” print ...cats + patterns + clean design. So adorably adult.
- Who they are: Karla Furrer runs bella studio, creator of modern and artful accessories including handbags and jewelry.
- Why we love them: The way that they can take simple materials–leather, indigo, cotton, brass–and turn them into figurative gems is like alchemy.
- Team Flea Pick: Their new embossed leather clutch is simultaneously easygoing and sophisticated, and it pairs really well with our favorite brunch outfit: a Flea tee, black jeans, and whichever two matching shoes we find first in our closet.
- Who they are: Concrete Treason is a boutique concrete shop obsessed with the chaos chemistry that is concrete.
- Why we love them: Live in a large house? Have a small garden? Occupy a studio apartment? Concrete Treason’s line of products run the gamut of scale so that everyone can find a way to incorporate concrete into their life!
- Team Flea Pick: We can’t get over how awesome their mini Marshall amp stack bookends make our built-ins look.
- Who they are: Everarbor is a Cleveland based outdoor lifestyle company centered on a passion for the outdoors. They specialize in a multitude of diverse ecological and innovative services, such as, arboriculture, landscape design and implementation, as well as wildlife management.
- Why we love them: They’ve really got Cleveland’s well-being at the top of their list!
- Team Flea Pick: Because we love flowers and veggies, we also love Ever Arbor Co.’s Eco Brew soil supplement. This hand-crafted soil additive is made from beverage waste like spent grains and coffee grounds from local breweries and coffee grounds. It’s the definitive example of trash to treasure!
- Who they are: Farmhouse Vintage is a brick-and-mortar shop in Jefferson, OH that is full of farmhouse-themed decor
- Why we love them: Can’t be a little bit rock’n’roll without being a little country, too!
- Team Flea Pick: We kind of have a thing for steel farm washtubs, and boy… do they have ‘em!
- Who they are: Lauren Noel is the creator behind Lady Noel Designs. Her merchandise spans the gamut between one-of-a-kind paintings and drawings to articulated paper dolls.
- Why we love them: Everything that Lauren makes is fun in a really understated way. Her colors may be bright, but she shows a lot of restraint in the way that she renders her subjects. No scribbles here!
- Team Flea Pick: There are some things that you see and you immediately know that you need them. A Frida Khalo paper doll is definitely one of those things.
- Who they are: The Smooth Rider food truck serves a unique variety of healthy smoothies, ice blended coffees, and protein bars.
- Why we love them: It’s so much easier to eat your veggies when someone hides them in a pineapple-flavored smoothie.
- Team Flea Pick: The blended Horchata Latte made with coffee, cinnamon, and vanilla is the perfect summer-to-fall drink.

- Who they are:The artwork of native Clevelander Hal Lasko, aka The Pixel Painter, is tediously crafted by guiding a computer mouse through the decades-old software application, Microsoft Paint.
- Why we love them: It’s not hard to love Hal Lasko’s process! It’s an admiral act to build an image one pixel at a time!
- Team Flea Pick: “Wire Basket” fits right in with our collection of mid-century modern Flea finds.
- Who they are: Angela Coppi and Ashley Milton run Junk and Disorderly, antique hunters with a love of “retro stuff and weird junk”.
- Why we love them: They’re not afraid to bring the kitsch. If it’s sparkly, neon, irridescent, seven feet tall, or jingles when the breeze blows, they might just have it!
- Team Flea Pick: Save your pennies for a set of your very own vintage peach Lustreware teacups and saucers!
