The market was much smaller than I'd anticipated but there were so many beautiful things, it was difficult to know where to start.
Cameron was particularly taken with a roasted & flavoured nut stall which had some amazing flavours. The men at this stall were really sweet and let him try several types before choosing which to buy.

The pretzels being freshly baked smelled amazing
We spent far too much money - I'd written a list of things I was hoping to find, before we went, and found nearly all of them!
Some of our purchases: A handmade wooden pyramid (that spins with the heat from the candles), a large box of little red candles to fit the pyramid, a wooden Santa, some tiny little gingerbread man candles, some beautiful rainbow candles and some handmade wooden decorations.
We are really looking forward to seeing what the St. Nicholas Festival at York is going to be like next week. Cameron said he's starting to feel his Christmas "spirit" already!
Gorgeous! Dave promised me last year that I could have a pyramid this year - I'm going to be holding him to it! My parents have a huge one that they bought in East Berlin for pennies, so I look at the prices at cringe!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tech.
ReplyDeleteHave a look at the prices on the local wooden things shop (trying not to give my specific location away!) website because some of the things at the market were way over-priced.
Ooh, thanks for that tip :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful - I didn't know they had this in Leeds. If I remember it might be worth the trip up on the train next year to have a look! I love Leeds anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's still on until (at least) Friday, Deb :o)
