Random Products From The Craft Market For MarketFriday
Today I got some good news, regarding #MarketFriday :) Three times a year there's a craft market in my city. It is a big deal as hundreds of artists, craft masters are displaying their artworks and we all get to admire those great artworks and of course, everything is for sale. I've been waiting for the first one to begin and it looks like I don't have to wait any more as it starts next week.
Today I'm going to post random photos from the craft market I've been to last year in October.
This lady was selling all kids of ceramics, vases, plates, bowls etc., and some interesting, hand painted wooden spoons I've never seen before.
I cropped the photo so i can show @dswigle these wooden spoons :)
This is the other end of the table containing plates, vases, mugs and I see some ceramic, hand painted tiles which I believe are magnets.
This is a hand painted flower holder made of ceramic flower pots. I found it a bit expensive as it's not something out of the ordinary. I don't know if I would ever pay around $30 for this but it was interesting.
Now comes the fun part. There was someone selling tulip bulbs. As you can see, the bulbs were in these boxes and there were all kinds and colors.
For me the most attractive were the black tulips as I've never really saw black tulips in real life, so I bought three bulbs. These were planted last October as that's the most suitable time to be planted. This year I was waiting to get my black tulips and some of you already know that I got two dark red and one normal red. I believe they were careless and threw all buds where they wanted, the bulbs got mixed up and that is how I got red and dark red tulips.
Lastly a flower decoration on wood I believe.

I'm so excited to hear your good news regarding Market Friday! How fortunate for you to have a city that has so many craft markets. It's a huge deal to get all of those artists together displaying their artwork. So much talent in such a small area!
I love random photos then so that's kind of cool that you have this for your Market Friday challenge this week. I know it may sound silly to you, but with the carpets in the back of the lady in the picture, and the painted bosses and all the crafts, it is so evident to me that this is in either Romania or Hungary or somewhere in between. Of course, you are more familiar with the where's of your country but to me it's or generalized of an area as I am not as familiar.
I have actually never seen Wooden Spoons painted like that! I can tell you that they are very ornamental and that they probably are just hung as a novelty item, because I'm pretty sure I would not be putting that in my stew to Stir It. But they are very cool and they are very unique. Thank you for giving me a zoomed-in photo of them. You know me so well!
The other end of the table has such pretty patterned dishes. I really like the soft green and it goes so nicely with the clay colors. I'm pretty sure that you are right about those hand-painted tiles being magnets. What an adorable ceramic flower pot! I think for $30 I will buy the pots and make them at home. That is just the Cheapskate in me because although it's cute I do not think that I would want to pay all that money for it.
Of course for me, the fun part was the tulip bulbs there are so many beautiful ones and boy are they just waiting to be brought up and planted. I have seen black tulips and I did plant some and they were quite exotic, but they are not as pretty in my garden because they got lost with their dark color. I think I need to plant them in a more prominent spot where their color does not make them fade but pronounces it. As usual you have a most wonderful Post in the flower decoration on wood what's a beautiful ending to a nice story. Thank you so much for your time, your effort, and all the beauty you put out. As always I wish you a beautiful day.
#MarketFriday loves you

You're right, it is hard to bring so many artists and vendors together but usually there's a schedule. These fairs are organized when there is the celebration of the city (I don't know how to explain it, can't find a better word for it). So the whole week is dedicated to the city, there are concerts, different activities and among which, this fair. It's a three day fair from Wednesday to Saturday or Sunday.
Each city has its own day or week, so these artists/vendors are roaming around the country, from one fair to another. This is a great opportunity for them to sell their products, not to mention in big cities where there's a possibility to have some foreign tourists as well.
You're right, those specific fabrics, tablecloths are strong clues. The decorated, painted wooden spoon are indeed for decoration purposes, you hang them in the kitchen or they make a great gift for someone who likes to cook. It's not recommended to use them, God knows what kind of paint is that.
Looks like we think alike. You're right, no one would pay $30 for a decoration like that. Apart from the fact that each pot has a whole and it's painted, there's nothing special, except for the price of course :)
The tulip bulbs ... if there will be again this year, I'm planning to buy some again, this time I'm going to buy one of each and plant them in the garden in October. It's the best investment as they propagate and you can get more and more each year, you don't have to buy new ones each year. I'm going to grow a lot.
I'm so excited to go to the market on Friday!!! I'm going to take at least 500 photos, a bunch of close-ups as well to show the world these wonderful products!
Thank you again my dear friend for running the show here, it's my favorite one. And thanks for the support as well.
Have a nice day 😘
