2nd of June from 10:00-16:00
What’s the
solution to have shopping bargains when living in a country without night
market nor running Sunday business hours?? Yes, morning flea market!!!Not far
from Leppävaara, on
Majurinkatu, Vermo flea market is more alike a parking lot family sales than
market square, while the choices can be from children’s toys, electronics
devices, ladies wears to comics out-of-printed.
I love garments, but at flea market I like
to search accessories or kitchenware. Luckily, first I found this combing baby
pink, shining golden and carbon black vintage earrings from an elegant lady’s
stall, then Avène skin recovery cream and cleansing gel at middle-aged
mother’s basket, finally 6-pack hand-knitted Tiffany blue handkerchief at elder
madam’s table. I was wondering about Made in Germany golden-platted tea cups, 3
euros per set, but unfortunately we folks have to drive to Kimo’s mansion for
late lunch.
KH's place locates near Vantaa, an
old-schooled Finnish house, equipped with sauna and wooden dining tables, while
the main living room deco is very 90’s modern style; the major colours of the mansion
are pale white, mustard yellow and Finnish blue. Kimmo has WW2 military
souvenirs, amazing Arabia Muumin mugs collection, numerous George Jensen tea
kettles and not to mention his rare wine storage in a secret closet.
Therefore, we sit relaxingly under the sunshine at the blossom garden, enjoying Spanish strawberries, honey cake, Mövenpick ice cream, Finnish salad and just-grilled sausage. Surely, it’s yet another perfect way to spend at temperate summer’s day.
