Flea Market - Newmarket

I heard the Dublin Flea Market was on this Sunday so we called to it on the way to Ciaran's parents.

My first purchase was this great polaroid camera.  The girl who sold it to us said it worked but did say that the film was expensive (which it was!!)
There was lots of stalls outside and more inside.  Inside was where we came upon Kirk Modern and all their great mid century modern lovelies.  We were looking for a desk for our studio and were delighted to find the below desk.  It's from 1959 and looks like it has seen a lot of interesting times.  It's got great character and goes perfectly with my sewing table.

 


Ciaran has a real thing for lamps and when he saw this creation being sold by Kirk Modern (check out their website they have loads of really nice stuff) he couldn't resist buying it.  It's a funky looking thing - I like it!

We positioned it in our hallway as you enter the house on our sideboard.
 




 My sisters and I always received a Mandy Annual at Christmas so I couldn't resist taking a photo of this 1978 book and then texting the picture to them.  I think we all read this annual!







On the way to the other side of the city, I stopped at a camera shop and bought a film for my new camera.  At 35 euro for 8 photos the polaroid camera film cartridges are not cheap.  However, I decided to take one photo of Ciaran and his parents.  I really enjoyed the experience of taking the picture - the big clunky button on the side made you feel like you were really taking a photo.  Far more enjoyable and satisfying than using my phone!
