Yesterday I went to our flea market along the Weser River. It's there every Saturday, mostly it's a bunch of crap mixed with a few treasures. Yesterday was gorgeous 70 degree day sun shinning and lots of people. Above the river embankment is the Beer Garden - Schlachte, it was full of vendors selling new goods, food, drinks and a Country Western band was playing and lots of people were line dancing. The city was full of energy. Germans are fascinated with all things Western. After I shopped I sat in the beer garden, had a beer and brat wurst and soaked up the sun and culture. It was certainly the place to be!
Stop by UnknownMami and visit her city and more!
Happy Sunday!

Love the collage...and of course your great finds! Brat and beer in a sunny garden sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday to me!
You've certainly made the best of living abroad... what treasures and memories! I know you're excited to come back home - your daughter has been so blessed to have had this opportunity... I hear your in Allendale this summer, can't wait to meet you!!!
I'm moving there. They grow beer in gardens? Love that!
I also love how you said there was crap and treasures at the flea market. How true!
that looks like so much fun!! I love days like that!
I also like your new page, very pretty :)

I would LOVE to be there and to be shopping for old dishes. FUN!
Sounds like the perfect afternoon!
I love those plates you found! And I also love your new photo layout!
Your description of a lot of crap with a few treasures is perfect; sounds like every flea market I've ever been to :) Still, the energy of it all sounds fun--great description.
Outdoor markets are so much fun. YOu never know what you'll find. And it looks like you totally scored! I'm a blue plate fan and have several too!
Happy SMIC,

I love your finds! Gorgeous!
I love the tea kettle. Actually, I love it all!!
If you gave me a choice between a big diamond ring or going to flea markets I would always take the latter.
Wow what a beautiful city and you found some really gorgeous finds. I love those plates!
that teapot is the coolest. sounds like fun day. yes, soaking in the sun and culture. nice.
i love what you found...just think...real antiques directly from Europe. they will be a nice trophy on your wall in your new home.
i think i'd much rather a relaxing stroll thru and german market & bier garten than the streets of ny...but it does have pluses. there is a market several times a year the block down from our church on Sundays...but this one was in times square right outside m&m world...we really scored that day. hope you come down for a visit!!!
I love your finds! Totally worth sorting through junk for.
Those are great photos! My favourite is in the first collage, first pic in the second row.
Great finds, I guess if I had read a few back entries I would have realized you are on your way back to the states. I am sad I am just finding your blog, but I am sure the adventures will only continue as you move to your new home.
Looks like a lovely way to spend the day :-)
Such beautiful finds, lovely!
Happy Monday.
Lucky you! Beautiful day, good shopping and bratwurst! I love bratwurst!
We cleaned the whole weekend (that's why I'm late)...and still much to do.
I don't understand how people can live like pigs...
oh, but it's a new week, fresh start - have a great week ahead!
Happy 'Sundays in My City' greetings from Casablanca, Morocco!

I love your flea market finds Frau! So interesting. What treasures : ) Isn't it fun to hang out at flea markets and people watch? Love that!
lovely plates.
Happy Monday!
I love a flea market. Thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful place to be and there were some real bargains there! Well done.
It is good, this hotter weather...... ideal for an outing like that.

nice pics! No.2 shows the company I did my apprenticeship .. at least 100 years ago :-)
Such fun to go traveling and shopping though your pictures! I used to live in London, and hunted for treasures at Portobello Market regularly.
