Tynemouth Market

I would defy anyone to go to Tynemouth Market and not find something they love (and fall in love with the place too). It's held every Saturday and Sunday morning in the beautiful old train station (still in use for the metro) and takes up both platforms. I don't think I've ever went and not come away with something lovely. We went a couple of weeks ago so I made a point of grabbing some snaps:

{Kitchen goodies on a stall}

{Fresh bread- it's a shame you can't add smell-a-vision to this photo}

{Sunnies and gloves}

{Olives- enough said}

{Ben and his cousin enjoying a greasy burger}

{I bought this beautiful light for £12, it's going to hang in our entrance}

Hope you're all enjoying some sunshine where you are (we're certainly not), at least we're over the hump day tomorrow.xxx

    it looks really lovely there! I love the idea of popping out of the metro into the market. I just found a Whitley Bay hankie at a jumble sale which I know is just down the road. Where are you based? My Dad's mum was from Blyth, just a bit further away

      What a small world! We're planning on moving to Whitley Bay area in the next 12 months or so! We live in Benton and I grew up in South Gosforth which is just along the road.x

    What a pretty spot for a market! Your new light fixture is wonderful, I am on the hunt for something pretty for my entry too. We had a bit of sun today but mostly drab gray skies and rain. Have a happy Wednesday!

      It is a great market, it's not the cheapest but most stalls are reasonable and willing to barter.x

    Those items look so pretty, especially the sunnies and the kitchen items! Wish I lived close to that place :)

    I want to go! Is that a sign of a sick mind that someone would want to travel the world just to get better junk? Love tagging along with you and becoming your newest follower.

      Not at all! I generally find myself lusting after the American's finds.x

    What a special place. I would love to take a look around - from the photos you posted I can tell I would have trouble not buying something. The architecture of the building is wonderful as well. I wish the sun would shine here too *sighh.

    Hello. Thanks for the comment. The cushion is really not tricky to make at all. Its basically a tube of fabric gathered at the top and bottom with a cushion pad popped in and then the gathers pulled tight and a button to cover up the messy bits. Have a go on a small scale I am sure you would love it. Having a trawl through your blog now it's 'such fun' to find a blog you haven't seen before. Debs X

      Thank you, I'm the same and love a new blog find. I might have a go at the mini version although I doubt it would look as lovely as yours, you obviously have some talent in that area.x
