St. George's Market.

I went to the market hoping to find a few craft stalls. I bought these hand dyed 'silk hankies' and a bag of carded sari silks thinking they would all be of use with the Embellisher machine gathering dust in my sewing room.


It was a long time since I'd been and how times have changed...used as a morgue during the blitz in Belfast in the 1940's,
this was also the workplace of my husband's great uncle Bob who was a saddler for the market traders' horses.


Fresh fish stalls with live crabs. I didn't see them move.


Dublin Bay prawns.



Freshly baked breads.


Dulse,winkles and I think these are Arbroath smokies in the foreground.


Entertainment.


Bonsai.



Spices.


Yummy cakes.






Now it's a bustling marketplace,on a Saturday morning,for fresh produce,crafts and somewhere to do a spot of people watching.
