Flea festival


This weekend was spend in cozy and nice gathering near Varėna – Flea festival . The event was destined to be flea market under the sky with some workshops, music and various stuff to do. Weather was simply amazing, so huge part was also spent in the like which is 28 meters deep in highest point (later I was told by guy who gave lift to train station that somebody drowned in the lake and divers got exact deep measured).  I was driving to festival as owner of the car was tired after preparing to workshop. I was going with friend from Scotland and felt not really comfortable as others were speaking Lithuanian all the time but she seemed fine with it. While in festival, I was surprised that everything is so cheap and got three handbags, shirt, two pairs of earrings and also facial with amber.

I made rubber band with flower made from plastic bottom of bottle myself with some help of owner of a car who is advocate of recycling and making new things from old ones. She runs some small shop/workshop called Absurdo idėjos. It was really interesting to see how much can be recycled and what can be made from old stuff. Since i was with a friend who didn't speak lithuanian i didn't went to any of lectures as they were only in lithuanian. We  checked some sellers, listyened to music (all singers and bands were really good) and just enjoyed ourselves in nature.

I thought about going to sauna too, but saw no point after realizing it is quite far away from lake. It was nice that people gathered there were not alcoholics party partiers, so biggest part was without drunk heads, shouting and littering. Only at tree a.m. some really bad (and later I was told he was also high) saxophonist decided to show that elephant stepped on his ears. So I lack of sleep now, but festival was definitely worth it.
