The Flea Market

About three weeks ago, my friends and I read about the weekly flea markets that happen in City Park. We've actually been away every Saturday and Sunday since we heard about it until yesterday! We really wanted to go and I am SO glad we did. It was a lot of fun and very local - I don't think I heard another group of people speaking English the entire time.

 

Like any flea market, some of the stuff wasn't so good and some of it was treasure worthy. There was a ton of Communist-era goods and antique knick knacks. My addiction is vintage/old jewelry.. so I basically died and went to heaven. And the best part was, everything was either very well priced or dirt cheap. My kind of place.

I'm sure you're all eager to see what I bought, of course. 

I got the above jacket for 500 HUF, which is about $2 USD. Yep. It's an amazing winter jacket, big enough to fit another sweater underneath but not huge, hits about mid thigh, and is in a cute utility style.. and it was two dollars.

I got a gorgeous little cameo ring too! About 1500HUF, so still a pretty good price, and I absolutely love it. I think I love cameo because my mom has always loved it, but how could you not?

And then, for novelty, I bought a Hungarian socialist pin. When in Rome... 

Anyways, we will definitely be back. The space is so huge, I know we'll find more great steals next time. Maybe I'll just have to buy a few more rings if I get the chance.
