Jaffa Flea Market

Day 142: Jaffa Flea Market

Jaffa Flea Market, also known as Shuk Ha Pishpishim looked like it would be fun even when we walked through as everyone was packing up a few days prior. It was the very first thing I wanted to do with our day back in Tel Aviv. Andrew, not wanting to get on another mode of expensive transportation readily tagged along. Although, he wasn’t nearly as excited about the Hebrew block letter collages as I was. He waited outside, then talked me out of buying an expensive already assembled piece of printing press letters, then waited somewhat patiently as I assembled my own smaller collage to take home to reassemble and frame for the wall I don’t yet own…

The flea market had everything. Junk that people found on the street (we assumed) to quality leather goods, antiques, artwork, used children’s clothes, and lots of hand pressed juice to go around. It was entertaining to walk through, and even though I spent too much on the block letters, it was more fun splurging on them than it was paying for a day of transportation in Israel!
