Haymarket in early September
This was most likely the last Summer warm flea market of the year. From Haymarket, or Hötorget in Stockholm. One or two familiar faces in the crowd. One photo is of a journalist/musician/raggare/TV-personality, Sten Berglind, who owns the largest Elvis Presley collection in Sweden. Another photo is a woman Anja Lund, who has been a collector for 30 years and written a book about it, a book the brought with her to the market to sell, of course.
I did a flea market for years so know how hard it is to set up but mine was indoors which is a bit more controlled. I'm so impressed by those vendors outside with people milling about all the time as they set up & take down. It is a treasure trove for you!
I wonder if there is any treasure to be found. The kissing pic is the best!

A very busy spot.
