saturday's child

saturdays are busy here in Gib.  there's Big Band music provided by the Royal Gibraltar Regiment Band in the piazza (think jazz and swing music!  awesome!) when i was living in Singapore, i used to spend my weekends sitting in the park listening to fantastic Big Band music in Symphony Lake. 

there is a craft market in casemates square too selling handmade stuff.  they just started this summer and only a few stalls have set up their stuff.  i am hoping this will catch on and eventually would expand and attract a lot of people. 

i love this stall below selling beautifully-preserved insects :)  on top of your purchase, the seller will also give you a free lecture about them :)

original paintings by locals...

the stall below is by my favorite local painter, Paul Cosquieri.  his paintings are very contemporary and colorful

you can also find one of a kind teatowels, fans, coasters and place mats...

handmade leather jewelry with Celtic knots... very creative!

 adorable mouse doorstops :)

here's my current favorite jazz singer singing my favorite swingy big band number with a modern twist :D turn up the volume!

enjoy your weekend!
