When the good sunny days ended, I thought it was the end of the fair season too, which is what usually happens. However, it looks like not everywhere though. Today I passed through Targu Mures and saw a fair in the city center. It was a small one, but even small fairs can be fun, so I went quickly to see what they are offering people there.
After so many years, you kind of knows what to expect and after a first glance I was able to see what I'm going to get there.
First the obvious ones, like kรผrtลs and lรกngos, that can't ever be missing. Cotton candy as well as I saw the maker.
At the time of my visit, there was not much interest in buying kรผrtลs, but till I looked around, there were a few already grilling. For those of you who don't know, kรผrtลs and lรกngos are traditional products you can find at every fair and event.
Pickles also can never be missing from any decent fair. I'm always looking at these drooling but we have so many at home, it would be foolish to waste money buying more.
Honey, or course, the bear and the bee! I've been telling you that I've been looking at those little bear bottles as we had such ones when we were kids and I am always remembering those times when I'm looking at these bottles, so today I asked the lady how much would cost one. She said 15 lei, which is 3 euro. My jaw dropped as that's a lot in my book, but then again, with the latest price surges, nothing surprises me anymore. I would have bought one, or maybe would have gone for the rapeseed honey, but I have honey at home, so I moved on, as I knew plenty of temptation was waiting for me.
Chrysanthemums are in vogue now as the 1st of November is coming, which is for us to remember and commemorate those who are not with us anymore. These flowers are tied to this event forever I think, although I like them in my home as well. For me these beauties represent autumn.
Besides chrysanthemums there were different decorations, among which these pumpkins filled with flowers. I liked them and would love to have one in my imaginary house ๐
Lavender is also a regular at every fair and I'm always taking a photo quickly and moving on quickly because the scent is too strong for me. I never buy any product although I like how these look.
Another honey vendor, with so many goodies, I had to make a stop here and buy something.
I bought a box of 100% organic pollen, which contains not only vitamins, but it strengthens the immune system as well.
This is how it looks like, but be aware, this is macro photograph, so those balls are really small.
Another honey vendor with more goodies.
Bags, backpacks, purses and wallets, a lot of beauties. At the fair I was in love with this red backpack, but now looking at the other products, maybe that blue would be more suitable for me. I like the design better and the colors too, my coat is blue as well. The problem is, it costs 70 euro and it's not original leather.
There was another leather vendor, selling belts and bracelets. Belts I don't need, but the bracelets caught my eyes from far. However, when I went closer to have a look saw that those designs were not for me. Yeah, I'm fussy.
Leather gloves, as winter is coming and it can get quite cold here. You don't want your fingers frozen when there's -25C outside ๐ and with all the cards and things we're carrying, a wallet also would be nice.
This is half of what I saw at this market. The rest is coming at a later date.
Sooo, what would you choose from here? I'm curious to see what would be your preferred product.
