Romancing the fleas

My friend Intan's romantic cushions remind me of a romantic city. Paris is a romantic city to a lot of people but perhaps not to everyone. Well, romantic or not, I do enjoy visiting the flea markets there. There are so much to see and hope for, with thousands of vendors and their flea items. However, contrary to the popular belief, it is not that easy to find real bargains. At least from my perspective and rather limited budget. But I do enjoy, and miss, the charming and festive-like atmosphere. I guess I do get a kick out of being there, amidst thousands of second-hand goods and vintage items, antiques and old furniture, decorative objects, memorabilias, collectibles, unknown paintings and art pieces, faux jewelries and colourful accessories, bric-à-bracs, surplus goods and clothings, household junks, etc., with the hope of finding some real gems. That of course, takes a lot of time and patience, and a lot of euros.

Hai kak Aniza. Saya salah seorang student masa bengkel folkart siri kedua. Lepas masuk class, ada juga saya try lukis beberapa item.....Tp tak pasti dgn lukisan yg saya lukis. Boleh tak bagi your house address. So that saya boleh tunjuk lukisan yg pernah saya buat tu.
