Happy Friday! It's finally here! Do you believe it? Of course you do because it was a short week. Most of us had Monday off. Today I am doing something special. I am bringing you a combo of Fabulous 5 Friday and where you can find them this weekend. June has lots going on. So if you need a Dad's Day gift or something for the grad I am sure you can find it from one of our makers.

Saturday June 4, in Park Slope Brooklyn is PS 321 Metro Flea.

SdV Designs creates beautiful jewelry and you can find this African Dancer Remix statement necklace from Saskia. Or get it right here in her Etsy Shop.

On the Upper Eastside is Popup NY and you can find beautifully crocheted creations from Billoware Jewelry. I love the simplistic yet entangled beauty of these bracelets.

Stock up on your stationery and get your Father's day and Grad's day cards from Tamara Garvey at Artists and Fleas in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

FAD Weekend is a new market happening on Sundays in Boerum Hill Brooklyn at 22 Boerum Place. This will run thru June then move to a new location. A well curated market, indoors with air conditioning, coffee, and other treats to snack on while you shop. Different vendors every Sunday so you are sure to find something new. It's right above the MTA Transit Museum which is a must see.

Wandering Laur is an amazing artist and a very sweet woman. I love this alphabet poster as a grad gift for the little one in your life. Or if the older grad and animal lover in your life. You can find Wandering Laur at the Renegade Craft on Saturday at the East River State Park in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

It was hard to choose my Five picks this Friday. So many fabulous finds at markets this weekend all over the city! Get out there and shop local for your dad or grad this weekend!

Happy Friday!
