My Little House
I was at the flea market yesterday morning with my friend, Junko. I walked around the place looking for something interesting, something that would catch my fancy. There were a lot of used and some unused items. Then I found something I liked, but the vendor was asking a very steep price - $1.00. I turned to walk away. Then I said, "How about fifty cents?"
"You got it. I don't want to take it back home with me," he said. I gave him my fifty cents and picked up my little house. Then as I walked away, he said to me, "You know me. Right?"
"Yup," I said, as I stashed my purchase in my sack.
I find this little thing cute and I couldn't resist it. I have quite a collection already, and this one is unique as its top flips open.

Hi again Mary,
I really glad to read every posting you write. so I wanna add you in my link..

photo cache,
It's more like a Japanese house.
nance,
Yeah, a keeper. Tawad di bibili. LOL
nona,
Jewelry box! That's an idea. Alam mo naman sanay tayo sa tawaran sa Pinas. LOL
gina,
It works!!! Just like in Divisoria. LOL
sexy mom,
Have a good weekend to you, too.
grace,
Cute isn't it? I can sell it to you for $2.00. Just kidding.
niar,
Kangkong is called other names in other countries. Your kangkung is almost the same as ours, except for the letter u. We also cook it and in different ways: mixed with meat, with fish, or with other vegetables. I love it. It's yummy.
Okay, I'll link you.
vicki,
Yung ballpen nilagay ko lang para makita kung gano kalaki ang bahay. Di kasama yun. Merong isang flea market sa isang town na malaking malaki, at minsan lang sa isang buwan sila bukas.
Ang tawag nila kung minsan sa grocery bag dito ay sack. He he he Di ko rin alam yun nuon.
Meron ngang sunog na malapit dito sa amin, kitang kita ko sa itaas ng bundok. Kaya di siguro kami matutulog ng mabuti. Maraming sunog dito sa kasalukuyan. Malakas kasi ang hangin. Nakakatakot nga...kawawa naman yung mga nasunog ang bahay. Nasa evacuation center sila ngayon. Hay, naku.
Sige, salamat sa bisita mo at comment.
wow, super cute! tapos P 25 lang!
lady cess,
Oo, kaya di ko pinalagpas.
i thought it's a music box..hehe..so cute!:)
okay... seeing that little box house felt like i was watching an old twilight zone episode. hehehe, that's the same project (minues the little birds on the roof) i did back in practical arts in 2nd (or was it 3rd) year high school. we had a wood/carpenrty shop in school and i made a little box in the shape of a house just like that. i copied it from my dad's old carpentry projects book dated way back in the early 70's, the kind with old newsprint as paper.
seeing the box in your picture sent shivers up my spine.
palma tayona,
Why shivers??? It must look spooky to you. LOL
