November Antique Market finds...

If anyone made it down to the ‘Craft and Antique and Collectors Fair’ last weekend you would understand why I said wear comfy shoes.. it was bigger than ever this year and I must admit I didn’t even make it around the whole thing-

Being my fault as I was running out of money to spend so had to bail before I found anything else I could fall in love with….

However I did pick up 2 bags, 



One of which a woman agreed to sell to me for $15 if I took all of its contents.....



Cant say I was a big fan of old hair curlers, pins and clips but i just love this bag :).......
My second purchase for again $15.. fully intact and no rips or tears or old bag smell




Now after walking around for about an hour, developing a massive apetite, and tolerance to realisng to try on clothes I have to strip down to my underwear in a room full of women with no curtains or such,.... all i can say is thankgod I was wearing my good underwear... not sure i would of wanted to strip down in some of those ones i have hanging around in the depths of my undie draws. Too much info.. ok i promise i wont go further but I know you all have them..dont you?

Anyway it was about at this time that any freebies I could get from food stalls I would accept almost too graciously... consiting of a piece of biscuit about the size of a 20cent coin or a di sized piece of bread to dip into some spice.. when I came across a masterpiece.

It was at that moment I died and went to heaven...two words..


TURBAN CHOPSTICKS



 

This range of indian (so easy to cook) foods are a new found favourite, they have sauces, soups and rice dishes.. I actually am speechless over this food, with not much money left to spend I bought a hamper, any 5 objects for $35.. i'll admit im a little obsessed, its just if you ever feel like indian food and you dont have all the spices needed or all the time to sit in a kitchen trying to make your fried onion and spices into the perfect base paste this is it.. this solves everything, it is delicious and not full of MSG or any of those preservatives in sauces you buy from the shops.

So after my friday at the market.. i walked out with a bag for decoration when I eventually get to decorate my own house, a black purse to keep my things and an addiction to a new range of food products, hope you found something for yourselves!
