Jaffa Flea-Marketing

You know the saying: "One man's trash is another man's treasure." Well, at the bazaar in the old Israeli city of Jaffa, I discovered the epitome of the age-old saying.  If you search hard enough, you might just find what you are looking for. 

One of the many blocks that make up the flea market in Jaffa.
I saw everything here. From restored tables and chairs, rewired watches and clocks, to extra doll heads and camera parts. Not to mention, the prices are good... though you might have to haggle.
Can you find the teacup in this picture?
There is something really beautiful and enchanting to me about this antiquated rummage sale. It is like giving these displaced, deranged treasures a new chance at life. 
If you ever need an extra spoon... you know where to go.
