art fair

Every weekend, near the Recoleta Cementary in my neighborhood, there is an art fair with hundreds of booths filled with handmade arts, crafts, clothing and trinkets. I went today, and as I walked through the winding sidewalks lined with stalls, I made a list of everything that caught my eye. It looks like this:

- Dresses
* Tanks and tees with tango dancers and musical notes
* Thick leather bracelets with intricate metal inlay and snaps
* Hammered metal earrings
- Scarves
- Coasters
- Webbed metal earrings that look like bird nests
* Long necklace of gold beads with specks of color in them ($20 U.S.)
- Tango dancer mobiles
- Colored glass soap dishes
- Earrings with dangling turquoise pendants
* Reversible vests made with plaid, velvet, etc. ($95 pesos)
- Denim purses with colorful fabric sewed on
* Long strings of colorful beads, like in Venice
* Necklaces with pendants of colored circles of leather
* Peacock and feather earrings
* Knit scarves that look like bird feathers are woven into them (grey and green)
