Enjoying the weekend @fleamarkets// lifestyle, decor, markets, recycling

TREASURES or JUNK? I have always loved to rummage around flea markets and auctions . We would go some weekends to have a look. Like they say, 'A nother mans junk; is another mans treasure.'  I enjoy finding one of kind things, plus its a way to keep things out of the landfills and reusing things  Recycling is one way to do that. RECYCLING FINDS Pair of metal lanterns   have the rustic look with chipped paint, but i liked them the way they were for now;  maybe later will repaint them.  Something like this or in black SIMILAR A wicker basket     is really useful to carry things outside on the terrace.

ENJOYING THE WEEKEND @market// Lifestyle, travel,

WHEN IN ........ rome , paris or vienna  go to the Market. The one place to really get a feel for a city or mingle with the locals, is to go to a outdoor market. Europe I would say is famous for its markets. Some are huge and then there are smaller ones in different towns or cities. I have always loved to wander around a market , get the fresh products, new things to try and enjoy sitting and watching the people. Here there is one market that is most popular the Naschmarkt. The market is open 7 days a week and there are many places to explore - the foods , the crafts, hat makers,  cafes,  it is endless. On Fridays one can check out the flea market for interesting  and unique things. Whatever you fancy you can probably find it there. 🍉SUMMERTIME FAVOURITES 🍒🍒🍓 Fresh strawberries , anything with strawberries, strawberry daiquiri (my favourite),  strawberry shortcake,  strawberry pies.........  ...

Weihnachtmarkts ***  Christmas markets*** Christmas markets are the highlight of holidays in most european cites.   and of course the traditional treats are also something one has to try too. Number 1 market to see in the city is the wonderful Christkindlmarkt by the Rathaus(city hall) It is so amazing . this year there are a few changes. A bit less color , but still a fantastic place to go. Not only are there plenty places to find some cool gifts but also the must try  Weihnachts Punsch! Oh a chilly day it is oh so yummy, plus you can keep the mug as a souvenir if you like.  (I have started my collection heart shaped ones= Skating is also something one can do (rentals on site) .also. Plenty of fun things for all ages. If you feel like listening to christmas music there are different Choirs performing each Friday, Saturday & Sunday  inside the Rathaus - which is a stunning building inside and outside. Its really the...
