HAVING LESS

There are many vendors in flea markets, and volume of stuff is often overwhelming.   It is what makes flea market so exciting because you never know what you end up finding from those piles of stuff.    At the same time, we really enjoy visiting vendors who have less stuff, but good stuff, with "visions".   Their booths are nicely displayed with their own taste, and we can really see what they believe with their knowledges and curatorial skills.   

We have our favorites in each location, and Andre's Tavern is one of them who stand out in Chelsea Flea.   It is always a pleasure to visit his booth that looks like a small museum where he displays numerous vintage tools and utensils by category in stacked old wooden boxes in his own way.    

It reminds us, how much you have may not always be important.  Rather, how you edit or curate to have less makes you stand out in a crowd.   It is such a simple thing, but we often forget.
