OK, so it didn’t literally blow the market away but it was heartbreaking…watching that big black cloud covering a month’s worth of preparation and a day’s worth of fun. We had hardly finished grooming our stall when the first clouds appeared. I decided to leave my bruised baby with his grandparents and ignore my lack of sleep after our stay at the hospital and this is what happens?? To be honest I don’t regret it. I love the rain. And i got to see my friends and take some cool shots. C’est la vie!
…with a puppy……and a chair! Goodnight. xxx
When I was about ten, one of my favorite role-playing games was shop keeper. My sister and friends would hang all our mother’s clothes around a bedroom, pull a desk out and start counting pretend money and trying on fancy dresses. I loved making price tags. And guess what? I still do! I will be attending and participating (!) in the Ledenes Street Market in old Nicosia on October 6. A very good friend of mine is organizing this exciting event which is happening for the second time. You may remember the pictures I took last May of gorgeous vintage and second hand finds. I loved the atmosphere which was like one big party but including happy and guilt-free shopping so I jumped at the opportunity to clean out my closet and have some fun. X and I are enjoying the preparation and planning. We cut up some old wrapping paper for the price tags and using my trusty old Ikea cardboard boxes for a tidy presentation.Clothes, accessories and shoes will be in our corner but you are sure to find homemade goods and quirky trinkets throughout the market. Oh do stop by if you are in town. Wouldn’t it be great to see more and more of these little markets popping up around? Show your support!
I am so excited to be in last Sunday’s Cyprus Mail newspaper! My friend and ex-colleague Zoe wrote a little piece on local bloggers and even though I am so new to the world of blogging and far from any other truly inspiring blogs i have discovered, she was nice enough to include Georgie and me.
