I started to fall in love with second hand stuff when I came to France. During spring, there are countless of flea markets around. People rent a small space and sell their unwanted items at cheap price.
I get to know from my french friend that the French hardly throw away items that can still be used. Either they sell it at the flea markets or at the second hand shops. I think this is great idea, they are recycling old items.
Some items are really old but I think they are gems. I bought a Snow White music box last month. The color is fading but it is still in good condition. And if I want to get a brand new one, I doubt I can ever find. That's why I love to buy second hand items now, cos it is no longer available in the market.
Gems in the trash....
