Saturday morning I contemplated going to Copenhagen for one of their flea markets, then I discovered that Lund has its own Saturday morning flea market in good weather, on Sodra Esplace (Check the spelling). It was a sunny Saturday so we wandered over there from our apartment. The walk took us past or through the prettier parts of town (no so much concrete) and we gto a little lost. We did eventually stumble on the right street, and lo! it was the entire street! 2 blocks of fleas! We spent a pleasant hour or so rambling along picking up bits and pieces. Neither of us can get the hang of Swedish numbers so it was a little silly trying to haggle unless the person spoke English.
I got the wind up alarm clock I'd been looking for (50Kr) some more textiles, including a beautiful linen sheet with handmade lace for a baby's crib (I think it will become an apron), an antique oval wooden box, a candle wick trimmer and a wool blanket. If we lived closer we could have filled out our blue and white china theme many times over - blue and white china is very popular here in Lund.
