| London Terrace Annual Flea market |
As I've often said before, I really don't like flea markets and old junk though I can quite understand why some people love the element of treasure hunting and the chance to take home a very well muscled mannequin....
a slightly halloween-y cape
an over-rouged figurine
but what's this?
a Grecian helmet! Gosh!
The antique toasters are rather beautiful.

Hello Elizabeth:
ReplyDeleteWell, we absolutely adore old, shabby, worn, peeling, flaky, vintage, retro, antique stuff!! This street market looks exactly our cup of tea. Indeed, just a glance and we can see so many treasures that we should love to make our own.
Whatever, you have captured the quirkiness, intrigue and the frisson of a gem which may be hiding amongst the dross that one always feels at these events in your marvellously atmospheric photographs.Oh, if only we could have been there!
Fun collection, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteFrance must be the only place where it is fun visit flea markets - at least that is my experience. ;-)
I think that metal helmet could have belonged to a Roman Legionnaire. Could, if it were not a flimsy copy, that is.
I may make it to NW right after Halloween.
That should have been NY. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI actually love looking around flea markets! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWhy, oh why, don't toasters look like that anymore?!!
ReplyDeletexo,

What a fun market! And I do love a bit of old junk too - but also the divine looking maiden at the bottom too.

Best flea market EVER! WOW I would be so broke by the time I made my way to the end. I would want every one of those toaster! My friend has a toaster museum here- He does all sort of things to them, sculpts them into lights and radios and such. Very clever.But the toasters in your photo look like art themselves, just by being. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI totally thought that was a real man in the first picture. I thought oh boy, he definitely shaves his legs. But he is too white? So I had to have a second look. *hand slap!*
ReplyDeleteI would have bought a toaster just because it is so beautiful.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Oh I would love to have had a real old rummage about.Some fascinating things there!
ReplyDeleteI agree the toasters are the best of show. They look like classy art deco sculpture.
ReplyDeleteThe muscle man would be a nice quiet passenger who could get you passage into the car pool lane.
I have to admit I have always loved flea markets, antiques shops and even second hand stores, but recent bed bug scares have stopped me cold.
ReplyDeleteGreat images Elizabeth!
I like her too :)
ReplyDeletethe toasters are beautiful
I'm not much into flea markets
I prefer craft and art fairs where the artist is there and you can see their creations
I LOVE flea markets! Great pictures! I have friends that don't care for them either, to each his own. Looks like some great stuff there!
ReplyDeleteMakes me itch!

Such as, Louis Vuitton totes have "Louis Vuitton Paris, Manufactured in France" stamped on it. Herm?? s bags say "Herm?? s Paris. The Younger British Artists (YBA) can be a group of contemporary painters, sculptors, photographers and online video, installation and conceptual artists who rose to prominence in the conclude from the twentieth century. They had been connected with each other only loosely, without any other common qualities than their age (they have been the Young artists on the time), their nationality (British) and their participation in present-day art, plus the simple fact which the the greater part on the YBA graduated from Goldsmith's Higher education, London. The YBA became well-known mainly through three art exhibitions, two of which, just one with the Frieze in 1988 and Modern Drugs in 1990 have been structured by Damien Hirst (at that time an unfamiliar art college student), and one of which, Sensation, held in 1997, occurred for the prestigious Royal Academy..

A light pink leather-based presents it a girly experience and additional with all the leather-based product, you might have a beautiful, ornate but strong purse. The centre piece of this handbag is often a black jewelled asymmetrical flower structure by using a vertical ribbon at the rear of.

Be sure that you just by no means let your purse exposed to immediate sunshine. The sunrays will harm the leather-based. Star Madonna acts for a Bohemian keeping in the bar. Fishnet stockings, orange hula shirt, and high-heeled shoes, whisper a solution but sultry lust. She places up her leg, wears Kalahari, stares you cool but provocatively to be a bold Bohemienne.

Did you change your cubicle neighbor's keyboard format to Dvorák although he was out at lunch? When they can not figure out what on earth is mistaken inside of a number of minutes, go enable them know and share a giggle. Five minutes of a prank is amusing, five hrs is aggravating..
