FLEA MARKET



Today saw the first Oslo house flea market, organised by the lovely Eric at vinyl pimp. I came downstairs still pissed from the night before antics to find the misfit family, that me and my housemates are, had decided to do their own store. It consisted of everyone trying to sell off there old junk, well apart from Ssam who was trying to sell only a tiny fraction of her wardrobe of (And believe me there is a lot of wardrobe!) The only problem was Ssam was actually trying to sell, Chanel, Miu Miu and Jill Sander among others, something that most of us peasants in the Wick can't really afford. Also she didn't really do compromise on coming down on the prices and drove a hard bargain, of which none of us could get our heads around. Maybe its a Korean thing! Kylee made Sangria, which she sold for a pound, though I must say she could have sold a lot more if we all hadn't helped ourselves to it! Angus made scones which he sold all of and the store actually made a profit in total (God knows how that happened!) All in all an amazing day with the sun shining, music, drink, food, dogs and the family of misfits. The tune of the day was Yegelle Tezeta by Mulatu Astatke, love it!
