Last Sunday our friends Lucila & Eduard were selling some of their clothes & home stuff at the Flea Market Bcn and we went to help a little bit to put together their booth. It is not very usual to host yard sales in Barcelona (or around) when someone is changing houses like I know that other places do (I wish it was though). So when Lucila told me that she was thinking to set up a booth in the Flea Market (a monthly second-hand market), to sell the things they aren’t going to need anymore, I thought it was definitely a great idea.
Lucila & Eduard are not only changing homes for this fall, they are changing countries: leaving Barcelona for England – eep exicting! Do you remember them from the anniversary session we did like a year ago? Lucila is an old & good friend from my school years and Eduard is a very sweet gentleman that we are very glad to have met & now count as friend; I wish them the best although they know they will be missed!
We seized that day to say our goodbyes. Also Lucila had the most fun of ideas: she took a polaroid picture of each of their friends to bring with them to England; I’m looking forward to see how she stores or displays them.
Booths were marked with white chalk on the floor. Oh! And Ikea bags are quite handy!
Lucila decided to cover the table using craft paper.
Cinexin was probably my favorite game ever when I was a little girl, you could project 8mm Disney movies manually controlling how the images moved using a handle.
Lucila took our picture (and the one from another couple) that same day and I got to write a little note on it: “Barcelona misses you guys, we do more!” would be a possible translation ;)
Have you ever hosted a yard sale in your home? Do you like to score things in them? Have you ever sold your things in a flea market? I would love to read your experiences!
