St Andrews market

Whenever I go to St Andrews market I feel relaxed, inspired and peaceful. Rain or shine, this unique market is always bustling with people. I love the sense of community; meeting new and interesting people, finding treasure in other people's trash and eating incredible food with complete strangers. The people are always so kind and friendly that you can't help but feel a part of the family. Sure the 6.30am starts are a killer but once the day gets going you soon forget about your lack of sleep. Besides, there's always time for a snooze when things are a bit quiet!

 

 

My dear friend and Nittaya model Tara loaned me these gorgeous homemade flags for the stall. We had so many comments about how great they looked that we're considering making some of our own! The market is always a great opportunity to showcase what we do here at Nittaya. People love hearing that all the profits go to charity, particularly in the last few months when we have donated to those affected by the recent natural disasters. As well as our current items being available, we also have a sale rack where all items at the amazing price of $5!

A few things you must try at the market: the bakery at the end of one of the upper aisles has the most amazing raspberry danishes I've ever had! Unfortunately I don't have a picture, but every time we're at St Andrews we set up the stall then go and get a danish. They melt in your mouth and the raspberries are so sweet. I must confess that last time we were there I had two! (One for me and one for baby) There is also a stall that makes lemonade and while it is a little on the tangy side, it is absolutely delicious and perfect for those warm days. Lastly, I'm not sure how often this is available but sometimes there is a young lady doing henna and as you can see it looks incredible. It lasts a few weeks and is super cheap!
I hope to see you at the market someday - if you ever visit make sure you come and say hello!
