There were dozens of posters of movie stars, pop stars and some royals (I didn’t know that Prince William was so handsome during his teen years). I even got my grandma a poster of James Dean.

Quirky knick-knacks of assorted sizes and colors were not missed: hand-made tin robots, figurines and even Matryoshka dolls were lined up in different stalls. These pieces are foolproof accents to brighten up and add zest to any room.

Behold are hampers and racks of pre-loved clothing items such as skirts, dresses, and denim that would make any fashionista’s eyes glimmer with delight. Vintage dresses and boots would surely be lovely additions to any girl’s wardrobe.
