Flea Market Junkie

Most women love bargain! We always feel good when we could find great findings with such a cheap price. Especially in Denmark, where almost everything sold at the stores is relatively expensive. That's why I love flea market! It's a place where you could find great and useful stuffs with such a great deal. I found it exciting to see someone's trashes could be someone else's treasure at a flea market.

One thing I noticed recently, in Denmark, flea market is everywhere! They even have this website, where you could see the flea market schedule around Denmark. I've checked out some of the flea markets here and mostly they sell clothes, books and kids toys. Some others sell vintage stuffs. I even saw one that sell remote controls and handphone chargers, the seller displays them on the floor, where everything is piled up in such a mess.

Usually I rarely buy anything from flea market, I just love to watch what stuffs they are selling and enjoy the atmosphere. Weird, huh? However, last Friday, a friend told me that her friend is going to leave Copenhagen and she wants to sell some of her stuffs. She asked me to join her to check out the flea market at her friend's house. So I went there with her and 2 other friends.

The house apparently is full with boxes and books and as usual, I need time to adjust myself in such a chaos, LOL. At first, the clutter stunned me while the other friends already start the book hunting excitedly. However after a while, I got used to eat and start to sort some stuffs, until I found this shelf insert, which I've told you about in my post: Organizing Your Kitchen. I planned to buy it on IKEA but haven't got the time to go there. It is sold for DKK29 in IKEA, and Heather, the seller was willing to sell it for DKK10. Yippie! She had two shelf inserts, so I bought the two of them.

Another finding is two wooden bake trays, I saw them on her cabinet and when I asked Heather, she said she planned to sell those as well for DKK10 for both trays. I plan to use the tray for placing fruits in my kitchen. Surprisingly, when I took out the trays, they still has store label attached, so they have never been used by her. Wow, definitely a great finding!

I also bought a Danish lesson book, written in English. My friend found it in Heather's book rack and gave it to me, knowing that I will learn Danish soon. When I told Heather that I want to buy the book, she told me that actually the book is coming with a CD, so she searched the CD for me and so I got the CD and the book for another DKK10. Yeay!

Actually I am interested to buy some of her cooking books. However I realized that it might be too heavy for me to carry all the above stuffs, as we need to walk quite far from Heather's house back to the nearest station. So I decided to round out my shopping and paid DKK40 to Heather then left feeling satisfied for the treasures I found :) If you are curios, let me share the picture of my all findings:
