Bits & Bobs.

Hello there beautiful people!

There are exactly two options of a Sunday well spent. one: stay in bed all day. two: go to the flea market. Since the weather literally called me to come outside and enjoy the glorious sun, I chose option two. I really like the idea of flea markets and love to browse around the aisles of millions of old unique looking hodgepodge. Here I don't mean rubbish, I talk about gorgeous looking items you don't get at IKEA. Pieces that are beautifully shaped and nicely made, where you are for sure able to tell that this hasn't been produced within the past couple of years. Some people may say this stuff reminds them of their granny - and for some things I am pretty sure it does - but just because it's old and your grandparents owned it, doesn't mean you should categorize it in the pigeon-hole "ugly". So we strolled around and I fell in love with one thing after the other, until I finally found the perfect teapot I have been on the hunt for for months. The man gave me the best deal to take the whole set of dishware besides the teapot. I was a very happy girl going home after  two hours of a nice flea market visit with my little coffee-table-dish. (tea-table-dish would have sounded very odd, haha)

My lovely friend and I went to the antique flea market right on "Straße des 17. Juni" at the train station "Tiergarten" - it is my favorite one in Berlin. It has the perfect seize, nice little stands, that mostly sell antique/baroque-looking items that are high-quality. If you are looking for unique pieces, specially mirrors, chandeliers, books, frames or any kind of dishes, you should check it out, it is so worth going!
