Would you buy these doll bedroom slippers for your child?
A great way to spend time together during the weekend is at a flea market; what's your most excellent find?
Flea markets are the perfect family spot; they usually have something for everyone and many stories to share. Each stall houses items that are either handmade or second-hand and have unique histories.
Sometimes, thrift shoppers or bargain hunters pick up some great finds at flea markets. It is a matter of having a good eye when shopping and knowing how to spot a purchase worth your money.
A young kid who seems to have gotten her way at the Milnerton Flea Market in Cape Town left her mother a bit traumatised by her choice.

One might say we are used to surrendering to unreasonable shopping choices, but these generally involve a toy that might be over-the-top in value.
Motivating for something that doesn't fit the profile can be less than discerning. However, that doesn't mean that it is the wrong choice. This young girl chose an item that looked pretty ordinary at first.
They looked like dollies, so Mom and Dad agreed, but then they found out from the woman selling them that they were bedroom slippers.
Mom sounded mortified as she realised her little one loved her doll bedroom slippers.
Wow, very creepy and definitely needs to be seriously disinfected but so cute, I guess. She bought them because she thought they were dolls and then the woman was like, "No, they're actually slippers". So, ja, they've got two uses, I guess. Aww, you love them...
