SHOP LOCAL

MELISSA SWEREDOSKI

Let’s Flamingle!

For more than three years, the Flamingo Flea has provided Fort Lauderdale residents with the opportunity to shop local, all thanks to its founder Carley Sumner. What first began as a market held every other month offering handmade, vintage, and upcycled goods inside Tarpon River Brewing has expanded to the Flamingo Collective. Now, locals can shop Flamingo Flea favorites inside the Small Wine Shop in Fort Lauderdale any day of the week. “The shop is perfect to quickly run in and get a last-minute, thoughtful gift or restock some of your Flea favorites,” shares Sumner. “All makers in the Collective are local to South Florida, [their items] are handcrafted, and [they are] some of the top merchants who pop up at the monthly Flamingo Fleas.” New makers include Sugared and Iced’s cookies, Milena Silver Designs’ fanny packs and accessories, Plant One on Me’s air plant and succulent designs, and many more. Don’t miss the Meet the Maker sip and shop event every third Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., when glasses of vino are just $5. This month’s Flamingo Flea will take place November 20.
