Fourth Times a Charm Part 2..

Market shopping... My favorite.

Insadong.. Is Insadong. Souvenirs... Fun items. Local Amethyst and Jade. Street food. Below are some snow globes in found for a friend... Around $20.


Myeongdong market--- TOY alley... Not as big as I had thought from reading other blogs. But best prices by far on Korea character toys.


Fabric. My friend Robin asked me to get her some fabric if we made it over here.

So we went.
We saw.
We failed.


I can shop with the best of them.
I Black Friday shop all night.
I can 'work' a Joanns like no other.
But Robin... I failed.


The overwhelming amount. Amount of people. The wall to wall fabric on top of each other was too much for this ADHD /OCD and about to have PSTD from this adoption process mama to handle. 

I am not kidding. There were 50-60 booths of fleece. 50-60 booths for wool. 50-60 booths for vinyl. 50-60 booths for buttons.

I failed you Robin... And I apologize.😉

Maybe on a future moms trip to Seoul... You can show me your ways.


Where I did not fail.. Is Shoe alley. 
A little bit of heaven on earth.
Row after row.. Store after store of shoes.
Girls shoes were $7 and the Pororo shoes were $20 but they light up.
The girls shoes were in cardboard boxes. They had $5 boxes...$7 boxes.. $10 boxes.
I love to dig for a treasure.


Still deciding on these chevron shoes if we should return for them or not.

I just love them but want 3 pairs.. Maybe.😉
I forgot to price them.




Namdamun--- my favorite.

We have been there about 5-6 times this trip. Different entrances are like entirely different markets.

Tomorrow we venture into the underground Import market for a necessity item. I will blog that later.

Below.. This adorable cost $5!! I love the piles of clothing in the center(kiosk position).. Many locals all gathered around.. A $5 sign sticking up out of the middle... Much smaller than me Korean women sitting in the middle throwing out sizes. Love love love it.


Like I said.. Love it!!!! 
Girl mamas..
Leggings..skirts.. Ruffled tops. 
I love korean kids clothes!!
