Today, while my dear friend Marianne came for her three day visit to Vaasa, we took the car and went to try our luck at two flea markets. Out of the lot of them we picked Combo and Palosaaren Kirppis . At Palosaaren Kirppis, I lucked out and found some fabrics. The pinks, natural white and light blue solids will come in handy.
