This hat was handpainted and only 20,000 WON ($18 USD). She told me that it was washable too.
This was the first thing I bought. Handmade and reversable, it was the most expensive thing I bought at the market at 45,000WON ($41 USD).
This handmade point card holder or credit card holder was only 5000 WON ($4.60USD).
This ring is made out of wood and is adjustable and the best part is that it was only 5000 WON ($4.60 USD).
As we were passing a table, a lady asked in perfect English our names and then wrote our names in Korean and gave them to us. No charge!
The lady I bought the hat from also let me choose a keychain for free.
The back says "Very, very pretty" in Korean. 예뻐요 (yeppoyo) -- polite casual form. I knew this because I learned how to say pretty in chilbo. I learn more Korean in my craft classes and yoga than I did taking Korean speaking lessons.
These earrings were 23,000 WON ($21 USD).
On the way back to the subway I saw a shop with lots of cute handmade items and so I had to stop by. I saw these shoes and jsut had to get them for the new grandbaby..
The other side of the shoes. All handpainted.
I also picked up this pin.
Poor Rocketman didn't miss out. On the subway ride back, we were entertained by a subway vendor that sold these eight in one screwdrivers with a flashlight built in. They weren't 12,000WON like he said. We got it for.....
5000 WON ($4.60 USD). Rocketman was happy and so was I! I am definitely going back to the Hope Market and next time I will try to document how exactly to get there with directions along with photos.
Aww, dang. I love all the items you bought especially that hat! It's adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteThose little shoes are just too cute.
ReplyDeleteIs that how Curt says his name in Korean? I would think they would drop the R.
Michele, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHelena, Rocketman did say they would drop the R and normally they say his name kewchew and how they are romanized.
