New market between Argyll St &Buchanan St

linz · 12th March 2008, 2:28pm

Has anyone been to this yet?

Sloans have been putting on a market in the lane between Buchanan st (between dotty Ps and Zara) and Argyll st (next to Schuh) for the past 3 weeks now on a Sunday 11-5, and it's going to be a regular event. I've been there selling for the past few weeks &I'll be there too next week, but there's a really big variety of stalls. Surprisingly, there was another stall (apart from me) selling pants, lots of other jewellery, a retro clothing stall, lots of organic produce, cakes, art&photography and some second hand record/cd stalls too.

Sounds good - but is it expensive? Tend to find things like this are. I'll have a nosy anyway.

Well, I can't speak for every stall, but I have jewellery ranging from £2 to £20 (on a buy one get one half price offer) and screenprinted &jewelled &studded &glirrtery knickers for £7 a pair &t shirts at the same price. The secondhand records were going for about £3 each &I saw handbags for £15, I think. The stall line-up changes every week, so there's a variety of prices too. Some stalls do have more costly items, but they're not reallly expensive for what they are, if that makes sense?

Sounds even better then.

And yes, that does make sense.

Haha, I saw your rep comment! And yes, I was FROZEN, even with wooly tights, jammie bottoms and over the knee socks on under my jeans. Against my better fashion judgement, I'm going to buy some ugg type boots for this weekend in at least one size too big so I can get lots of pairs of socks in them.

Pricelss on Argyle Street have them for a tenner, if you're not too fussed about how they look.

Lisa made me try one on and I wanted to puke though, I dont do furry ugly things on feet.

OR- see if you can get a stall near the middle, where they cook food, more warmth? Or stand at your sta;;? Then again, there isnt much space to at your wee bit, hmmm

I'll have a look in priceless. I heard primark were doing them for £6 but only in a size 8, and I'm a 4 if I'm lucky. I did the past few weeks in various patent high heels, but Sunday there was a whole new level of cold, and I'm not putting up with that again, even if it does mean I'll look like I've got hooves

It's a hard decision between being cold all day, or getting the hungries from smelling bbq'd food all day

I'd rather have the hungries all day than be freezing!
