Linda Pace set out her wares in a booth on the corner of Albert Avenue and Charles Street a little before noon Sunday.

The Lansing resident was one of about 25 vendors selling their goods at a city flea market, held in conjunction with the weekend’s farmer’s market, from noon to 4 p.m.

The event was sponsored by the city of East Lansing’s Community Events Department.

“I like the atmosphere and accessibility of this place and the people are pretty friendly, which helps,” she said.

Throughout the morning, a steady stream of people walked through both markets. Some had seen the event advertised while others, like Gary Osterberg, merely passed by sandwich boards set up on Grand River Avenue.

“We were just walking around and looking for something to do,” the mechanical engineering senior said. “It’s interesting. We just came to see what’s here and we bought some cookies.”

But cookies were not the only things being sold. Vendors’ tables were cluttered with purses, sandals, Christmas ornaments, clothing, videos, books, toys, an entire pink bathroom set, among other items.

Williamston resident Laura Pulling has been setting up her booth of hand painted glassware alongside the farmer’s market for years. For her, the addition of a flea market was good because it drew in more foot traffic than usual.

“There’s been a lot of people out today and the weather’s certainly helped,” she said. “It’s a gorgeous day.”

Pulling, who also sells her hand-painted items at Cool Creations, 209 M.A.C. Ave., fell into the trade about 12 years ago.

“I started out on tile magnets and worked my way up,” Pulling said.

Sunday she painted cup and saucer sets, ashtrays, tiles and does special orders.

“I always come to farmer’s market, so as long as the market’s here I’ll be here,” she said.

The day’s good weather and the additional attraction of the flea market brought in many first-time visitors.

Sandy Fisher recently moved to East Lansing and had noticed the farmer’s market but never got around to stopping - until she read a flea market would also be taking place.

“I love flea markets and fresh vegetables,” she said. “I like the variety of items and the atmosphere because it’s really casual, and I liked that I could get everything I needed at once.”

While the flea market was a one-time event, the farmer’s market will run Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. and Thursdays 4 to 8 p.m. through Oct. 28.
