Lisbon Flea

You all said you want to visit the flea market in Lisbon with me....so, today we are going....wear comfortable shoes because it is a big one.....



I am really drawn to to the metal......shame it is so heavy....

And KEYS!!!!!!

And, I love religious statues like these....

and these......
I couldn't find any Portuguese holy cards though, except for a few vintage ones....


And, this is Lisbon so yes, there are lots of lovely tiles....


Fado? Si!!!! I loved the music and have a few Fado cd's to prove it...





Yep, stamp bundles!!!
I told you that I find stamp bundles in European flea markets......


15 euros each -- too much I think.....a photo will have to do...


Those cats again -- I think I probably should have bought them....too late now...

I want it ALL......
But, I actually didn't buy nearly as much as you'd think.......I did get four Portuguese passports and some official papers....but sometimes a picture is all I need to be happy. 
We spend hours walking around and looking at everything -- it was so much fun!
So, what would YOU buy?

If you visit Lisbon I highly recommend the flea market there....bring a bag and wear comfy shoes and carry a camera and have some fun!

  2. My keyboard is having a PMS hissy fit today, and refuses to work much of the time. I would LOVE to leave you a personal message like you are used to from me, but it took nearly 30 minutes to write my last "real" message. Fortunately, my mouse still works well, so I can copy and paste this generic message to you. So, I will just wish you a very happy Thanksgiving and please be aware I have seen and appreciate your post.

  3. oh...my...goodness! I'm on junking overload just looking at your pictures! I can't even imagine being there in person! Wow! I guess the fact that you were traveling was a good thing in that it helped keep buying in check somewhat! I would have probably added to my religious statue collection, probably something metal, and no doubt something postal related! Thanks for sharing! What a delight to shop vicariously (and not spend any money!)

    1. I like your choices -- I love religious statues too but I don't actually have any statues -- but I have other things......I often shop vicariously. It is a lot cheaper that way.

  4. Stamps and stamp covers, I would have spend my budget on those. The tiles are really pretty too, but I would be too afraid to buy them... what if they break!

  5. Thank you for sharing! Lisbon doesn't seem to get the same kind of love as other cities so it's nice to see this.

  6. Cindy -- somebody is loving Lisbon because it was absolutely over run with European tourists when we were there (and almost no Americans).

  7. Love the doorknobs - wish I had taken the ones from the apartment I grew up in before my parents moved out. Love the hardware and keys. I would have gotten those pictures of ladies in costumes, and stamps, maybe some jewelry, so much eye candy! I think I'd have to drop the metal, also - too heavy to try to carry home, and then not know what to do with it.

    1. It is fun to shop in our imaginations, isn't it? Cheaper -- and easier to carry too.......But it is also fun to actually buy things sometimes...

  8. Will the vendors "haggle" on the prices? (I suppose one would have to have a good command of the Portuguese to make it happen.) Anyway, I would not have left without a few old photos. I love digging through the piles of old photos and always find at least one that asks to be rescued.

  9. I would definitely buy a few stamp bundles and passports!! The metal pieces are divine too. I think I would need a few small pieces!
