The Local Market - Williamstown Australia


I've finally found meself a market! Held on the 3rd Sunday of each month about 15 minutes out of Melbourne, the Williamstown Craft Market features all handmade goods, some cheap plants, weird wooden stuff, snags cookin on the barbie and some beautiful trees to have a snooze under.. everything good in an Aussie market.

The Local Market - Kolaportið in Iceland

Kolaportið is Reykjavík´s version of the local market. It has survived for quite a number of years. The reason; it´s indoors! Rain or snow its open every weekend. One of the few places in Iceland where you can walk around taking pictures unnoticed. But it´s also a nice place to talk to people. There you find people like Reynir Sverrisson who sold me the postcard in the post(card) history post. He buys and sells Icelandic postcards and stamps, he even travels abroad to acquire Icelandic stamp collections which ended abroad after the war.
