Treasure hunt in Almuñecar

On the first Saturday of every month, a big carboot sale in aid of cancer research takes place in Almuñecar on the coast. I always leave home with a minimum cash on me and inevitably end up borrowing money to friends I meet on the market or withdraw more cash. If I fall in love with such and such object, I find it really hard to resist, as long as its price remains within the limits of reason. Here are a few finds I would have liked to bring home with me today

A nice antique coffee grinder

A set of old Spanish lemonade bottles

A few lanterns from my dear French-Morrocan friends Patricia and Atman. Actually I got a yellow leather “pouf” from them. Thanks for the little discount Patricia and…lending me money this morning !

A few copper items

Oh my, I love this old recorder

Dainty little white cups to have tea or coffee with my friends

When I saw it, I knew it was there waiting for me and that it would look perfect in my bedroom.
This white metal dummy. You can’t see it on the photograph but it has a little door at its back so that little objects can be displayed inside it.

The ambiance of the market is very enjoyable. I meet friends whom I haven’t seen for ages, bargains are good and plenty. On some stalls, clothes are even given away. There is a free spirit atmosphere. You meet happy people in unusual outfits

But look at the detail of his own interpretation of a Spaniard-Scottish-hippy kilt. Clever isn't it ?
