Objects of Times Past: A Halloween Pop-Up Market in the East Village

A Halloween pop-up market called Objects of Times Past takes over 432 E 9th Street in the East Village on Sunday, October 18, from 11am to 7pm. The event is organized by a group of hosts on Partiful, who invite shoppers to come for "a spooky time."

The lineup is made up of small independent sellers. Vintage clothing comes from @jemhunts and @hautetogovintage, so expect plenty of rummaging for treasures. @outthedoorvintage brings accessories, @sea.graves sells jewelry, and @bloominglilith offers candles. It is a handy stop if you are hunting for a last piece to finish a Halloween outfit, or for an early fall gift.

There is also a fortune-telling element: @theinkandearth will be giving tarot readings at the market. For snacks, @_delightful._.treats_ is serving gluten-free and dairy-free treats, which makes the market easier to enjoy for anyone with dietary restrictions. The event description adds that you never know what you might find lurking around, hinting at a few playful surprises.

Because it runs through a Sunday afternoon and early evening, it fits easily into a wander around the East Village, whether you pair it with coffee, record shopping or a walk through the neighborhood. For Japanese readers interested in New York's vintage and handmade scene, it is a compact way to meet several independent makers and sellers in one place just before Halloween.
