Depends what you're looking for I guess.
Admittedly I'm not much of a shopper. My daughter found a bunch of cheap scarves to take back for her friends.
I'm sure I'll be there again this time, plodding along behind her... This time I'll keep my eyes peeled for those rare finds.
I think it's good.
Well SheDBabe, I'll have to make sure to get there before you this time because apparently last year you snatched up all the rare finds before I got there :-D
I'm keen to go, as I havent been before. Hope its not as disappointing as you say??
Whatever you vividly imagine, Ardently desire, Sincerely believe and Enthusiastically act upon, Must inevitably come to pass.
NFH - I was wondering the same. Last year it was pure waste of time goin there..

Is this the same thing I went to last year, expecting to find unique and interesting items on sale, but finding instead booth after booth of counterfeit "designer" bags etc?
Or is this something else?
most likely you can find good buys.
