Flea Markets

Loveflower: Sharing with you folks on the information which I gathered for some of the flea markets in Singapore after hours of web crawling (!!!!)...

I have 'spring-clean' my room (sort of) and there are tons of clothes/ accessories/ bags/ soft toys, etc which is either new (price tag still there lor) and I'm not going to wear/use cos I must have been not thinking correctly/clearly when I made the purchase (hahaha... one of my many impulse buys), worn/used once and I think it's not suitable, or collectible items of yesteryear...

And besides, I am encouraged by the fact that my sis's fren had managed to sell off 2 out of 3 boxes of her discarded items and earned a small profit (after rental cost) for stuff which she was going to throw away. This proves that there is market for secondhand items and I am sure selling off my stuff to people who can appreciate and make better use of them is my tiny contribution to a greener world (re: recycle and reuse), hahaha... =)

An acronym for Market of Artists and Designers, the market is also an exhibition and performance area for artists. This is the only place to find original artworks in a flea market atmosphere, where artworks, creations and ideas are sold, displayed or exhibited. Located at the Red Dot Design Museum, what sets MAAD apart from most flea marts is that prices for items sold at MAAD may not be all that low because they are original pieces, handmade and done by budding artists.

Where: Red Dot Design Museum at Maxwell Road
