Portobello Market in Pictures

The last time I posted pics from this market was in June 2009 – wow, post also has old crappy pics of what-i-wore ha ha

These were taken about two weeks ago when I spent a couple of hours with the bf, Emma, and Mark traipsing through Portobello Market in the cold. I still have memories of being there in December 2008 – this memory is unforgettable because of how much it felt like torture. It was so so cold I swear my legs ended at my ankles and I had no hands!.

Anyway here are the snaps
The first three were taken in a place called ‘The Knob Shop’.. what a name
But it does exactly what it says. It sells knobs. All kinds of knobs.

One of the most endearing things about Portobello Market (it’s my favourite market in the WHOLE of London) is the street performers.

I love them all.
They play happy music and lots of big-band.
GOOD music.
I always feel like dancing when I’m going down that street.

A stall selling old dolls’ clothes.. and old dolls
Really, the owner looked scarier than the dolls

I asked for a photo of her but she said no.. I tried!

This reminds me a bit of my mom’s jewellery drawer 🙂

Not too sure why but this photo makes me think of the movie Radio Flyer
I LOVE that movie

It’s about two young brothers who dream of FLYING away from their troubled family
They truly believe they can fly by building a flying machine out of their wagon (a Radio Flyer, of course).. and that’s exactly what they do

It reminds me of the feeling of being young
And so easily believing you can do ANYTHING and that NOTHING CAN STOP YOU
Unfazed by reality
