Roberta’s Holiday Market was held from the evening of Friday, December 9th until the night of Sunday, December 10th in the backyard of the Bushwick restaurant. In their bleak, unadvertised makeshift tent space many local vendors and artisans were sharing their goods. Unfortunately, there was no free pizza ☹

The vendor of cool stuff was selling throwback Thursday memorabilia of our childhoods. Everything from cool pins to troll dolls.

Bushwick boasts with the amount of vintage, reused and recycled stores and boutiques they have in the neighborhood, so the market obviously had some fine refined goods.
