New Moon, New October 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: Chastina Designs is a handmade jewelry brand with a mid west meets west coast style. They blend the casual, cool style from the west coast and the art deco, classic style from the midwest for colorful & easy to wear accessories.
- Why we love them: They’re not afraid to experiment! Snaps on scarves, braided chain, leather fringe… give us more!
- Team Flea Pick: Mark us down for one of their leather and brass geometric necklaces… resting right on the collarbone, it falls somewhere between a choker and a bib. Get yours in black or gray leather.
- Who they are: Cool Critters creates fun, one-of-a-kind plushies that can be stuffed animal pillows, unsettling couch companions, pet sacrifices, or best friends.
- Why we love them: They’re more than just pillows with faces! Creator Jess Sheeran hides some really fun details in each critter. Fangs, tongues, underbites, eyebrows, belly buttons, and decorative embroidery are just a few of the surprises that are unique to individual plushies.
- Team Flea Pick: We’re partial to the Space Critter series, which features some tribal-like plushy “tattoos”...a.k.a. bonus geometric embroidery. Celestial!
Driftless Magazine
- Who they are: Driftless is an ad-free, independent magazine about adventuring, art, and food in the Midwest.
- Why we love them: Their focus on quality photography and sparse design is really a clincher for us. The fact that they’re shooting such choice editorial images of real Midwesterners’ lives is beyond amazing. It’s drool-worthy.
- Team Flea Pick: We can’t wait to add issue 5 to our coffee table periodical collection.
- Who they are: Erie Bone Broth produces hand-crafted, slow simmered bone broth.
- Why we love them: Their company message is one of healing. Beyond the sentimentality of soups as soul-nurturing, spreading the message of bone broth’s medicinal qualities is at the foundation of this business.
- Team Flea Pick: Save us a cup of beef broth! Small batch, organic, and tasty as hell, you can bet we’ll be stocking up for the winter. It’s our plan to sub-in beef broth for water the next time we cook-up our quinoa.
- Who they are: FOE Inc., a.k.a. FOEXZURI crafts eccentric jewelry pieces with a touch of sass.
- Why we love them: Their products are bold yet versatile, and focus on making a statement without overwhelming your entire outfit.
- Team Flea Pick: We’re huge fans of FOE Inc.’s layered rope necklace in blue. The contrast of metals and fibers always gets us excited!
- Who they are: Natterdoodle is heartfelt handwriting with a mission to sprinkle positivity confetti!
- Why we love them: They’re just so damn upbeat! Imagine Kimmy Schmidt on a piece of paper… that’s Natterdoodle! It’s hard to fester in the day’s negativity when you’re surrounded by so much glee!
- Team Flea Pick: Natterdoodle’s “Adios Pantalones!” print is so us. The first time that we saw it, we put our tinfoil party hats on (à la Signs)… it’s like someone read our minds!
- Who they are: Owl’s Nest knits are produced to protect from harsh Midwestern winters.
- Why we love them: Their products are really hardy! We have a feeling that we’ll make good use of them on the toboggan run.
- Team Flea Pick: Dibs on their new colorblock “Alpine” hat! Two colors means double the outfit possibilities!
- Who they are: Two Saws and a Paintbrush creates unique and stylish upcycled, handmade furniture.
- Why we love them: They have a knack for creating fun furniture out of ordinary household objects. Old trunks, milk crates, window shutters… nothing is beyond reuse!
- Team Flea Pick: Two Saws and a Paintbrush’s dolly-turned-bathroom caddy is an ideal solution for those with nonexistent bathroom storage and a lil' corner craving some cute!
