Saturday Market at Fuengirola

If I'm in southern Spain and it is Saturday you

will find me here at the Fuengirola Market at the

fairground.  It is one of the largest markets in Spain.

We park under the orange trees near the art store.

Then the hunt begins!  For the girl who likes

old stuff, this is heaven.  There is a little bit

of everything here and it is not too artfully

arranged, I like the thrill of finding a treasure

among the junk.

I love the idea of buying my produce right

from the wheelbarrow.

Ummm ~ yeah, it's Spain.

This is my favorite style of treasure hunting,

poking through boxes.

Here is a perfect combination, tiles, great door,

old cameras and clocks ~ yum.

So what did I buy?  An assortment of vintage

household items with foreign words on them,

I am an absolute sucker for this stuff.

A Spanish slipware piece and some very

cool knives and forks.  We plan to use them

for spearing olives and spreading cheese.

And a score!!!  I always admired the tobacco

jars at Colonial Williamsburg but they were so

expensive for a transferware reproduction.

Today I found this, handpainted, brass lid

made in Holland and I got it for 10 euros! 

Score!!
