Market Review: Camden Craft Market

Camden Craft Market
Where: Onslow Park, Camden
When: 3rd saturday of every month
Time: 9am -2pm

we went to this market last february with my parents. quite far around 1 hr 15 mins drive from our place but worth goin. most of the stuffs here are a lot cheaper compared to those in St Ives or Castlehill. My father bought a few country style framed pictures and signage for less than $10 each. i bought myself a vase of flower for only $5 and me and mum borong abis country style wind chime that cost us $3 each...dirt-cheap...cannot resist!! there are too many country styled home decor items and kitchenwares that i wish i could buy...but i cant - caca marba rumah nanti. modern vs country!!

big day...special day....

its a special day today, its darling evil big day (clap clap clap). sorry i didnt get you any card etc etc. but remember last year, i replied on your wish list entry that coming here is equal to 10 yrs of big day presents. lurve you!!! i dint get him anything special today except for one book and a lunch treat at serai. oh, and i let him buy his latest toy today without giving any of the 'that look' face. its a new telephoto lense for his dslr.

anyway, we start off our day quite early. the original plan patut lg awal but biasa la kan. took the 9.25am bus to city to catch another bus to the northside sydney. there's a weekend mkt at the park near the council chambers. surprisingly its not that far, just a short distance after the harbour bridge. first time jugak lalu harbour bridge using the public transport(jakun!!). the market was so and so but the atmosphere is great. near the park and great live music. plus easy access with public transport. manage to get a few cheap books. enjoy the pixs...

leather shoes from china. cantik sgt. the 1st one i tried i forgot to check the lining and everything...baru perasan ada 3 titik...ewwww. ada a few yg synthetic lining but its either no size or design kurang umphh..

ada kitchenware...murah2 pulak tu.

enjoying my homemade McEgg while listening to the live music

goin back to the city, there's an International Women's Day Festival at hyde park. i am excited looking at the stalls from far but then, exhibition stalls jerk (cheh!!)

from the city, we're not that sure how to get to surry hills by bus, so we walk...by the time we arrived its already 2 plus plus and one couple is already leaving. quite cosy and with the lighting and everything, its like a romantic lunch coz there's only us in the rest...hahhaha

the entree...

ikan 3 rasa

kangkung belacan

foods dia not that good but not that bad. boleh la nak dtg lg. but the dessert is super duper delicious.

sagu gula melaka

ice kacang

reach home near to 4...terus merayau pi dreamland. esok nak jalan kaki kat lalu harbour bridge pulak...yes we're serious
