i had to save this post and edit again today (sunday) as i had to stop and spend quality time with my husband. his off days are precious time for us to just chill out.
okay where was i? ahhh my haunts :) for a couple of months now i have been going to a collector's fair in ocean village every weekend. its just a small group of people who sell the same thing every weekend. i am more particularly interested in vintage jewelry though so going there is mostly a "me-time". got to know some people there who are pretty serious about their crafts. one was a lady who made beautiful hand-made cards. she is pretty creative with her craft as she has a lot made for sale. she also accepts orders for customized cards to fit your particular occasion. which is pretty neat! im posting one i gave to my mother-in-law.
flea markets or bazaars are very uncommon here in Gibraltar. the territory is awashed with history and yet i only saw one antique shop in the whole isthmus! the place is jampacked from floor to ceiling with furniture that is mostly turn of the century but im sure if i looked hard enough i will find some dating back to the 1700s. they have books as well but upon closer inspection, they are modern publications which can only be found in this shop. worth browsing though.
