the average person's flea market. more people, no airconditioning, could be filthy, could be smelly, no protection from the elements but better bargains. there are many such markets in manila for the adventurous bargain hunters. this is one of the earliest and original flea markets in the philippines that dates back to over a hundred years
Flea market season is the best! I got to one this week bright and early and found these dolls and doll items. I was disappointed I did not see as many vintage dolls as usual. Thrilled with these finds though.
American Girl - $2 (love sellers that have no clue)
Best Friend Club doll MGA Entertainment - $3 (poseable which is fun. My first find of the day)
Barbie $1 (for her outfit, I've admired that yellow rain set for years)
Sindy and Dodi - $20 (so excited for Sindy!!!! Love Dodi's suit)
Dog - $15 (I've been admiring Debbie Jones for years. He is perfect for my Betsy McCall)
Beach chairs - $0.50 each
I just cant get enough of these! I've been hoarding them and waiting for the perfect project that gives me enough gumption to actually cut into them...
They look so nice sitting on my shelf, I can only imagine how much I will love them in a quilt top someday!

Fencing - $1
A great day at the flea market!! I did not even see one vintage Barbie, but did see several American Girl dolls for $45. I passed on them. I usually at least see some over priced green eared Bubble cut. I was surprised.
I saw lots of gorgeous vintage dolls for great prices, but I did not buy them due to lack of storage space and time to love them. It was so fun to see them though.
A few goodies from the latest flea market. I was most excited about the rattan set and the Monster High Dolls. I don't usually post them, but I have been collecting them second hand since finding some at a flea market a few years ago.
The rattan set looks like a 1:12 German set I've seen. It had hideous cushions which I immediately removed. I'll make something simple to replace them. I'll probably repaint the Monster High furniture sometime.

This photo is through a window into the weekend flea market in the former mill building here in Brunswick, ME. I also did a monotone but not sure which I like better. I was attracted to the photo by the pink flamingos but there is much else to see here.

I was lucky enough to get to a flea market today and find some doll treasures. I dug through 3 massive bins of dolls to find these. Each one was $1.
