I had a chance to visit a new flea market in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill and I ran across a booth by the company Greenjeans. The shop and gallery showcases a variety of items, from functional art to sculptural objects. What caught my eye--and the eye of about four kids gleefully playing with the displays--was this firetruck. Created by Maine-based toymaker Frank Ridley, the 15-inch-long firetruck ($39.95) is made of untreated Maine pine and maple. The cab detaches from the flatbed, and the five little people (one in the cab, four in the back) are removable. The crane also raises and lowers.
Ridley's log truck ($49) was also a big hit with the kids in the booth.
