Okay so here’s the deal. When someone says to me “oh, you’re named after the movie” I know right away they aren’t familiar with London, or even England for that matter! Notting Hill is an area in London that’s very famous for its Portobello Market. In fact they’re celebrating 150 years of the market! It’s a long walk from the tube but worth the sore feet you’ll have afterwards. It starts with a street that’s soooooo long. It goes on for blocks.
The first area is antiques. I buy from several of the dealers. Their prices are “pricey”. Then there is a good area, a junkie tourist area ( I admit I’m a sucker for this area at times) then a good area and then the good junk area. (Lots of different areas!!)
I bought a real vintage Chanel scarf today for 95.00!! (It’s a $500.00 scarf.) But you have to know how to tell the difference between authentic and fake. Luckily God gave me that talent! Tomorrow I will share more photos of the day. I’m just worn out from walking and need a nightcap. It was a busy day at Notting Hill… The place not the movie!!
