I have a couple more shoes not in the picture. Sorry for flooding the cafe! I will stop now
Noooooo! Your photos are so much fun!
Everyone's market photos from the South of France pretty much look alike, because everything is fresh and gorgeous, but here are mine: 
Lavender is a big deal here! Anyone want some?

Me me me! Are you in Axi now? Is that the central market there? I loved it!
Hi moma, thanks so much for sharing your pics!
Hope you're having a wonderful time!
Oh, I didn't tell you guys what I got at the Lisbon H: I did a pre-scout when I first arrived, so I could get a sense of what they had/think over items etc. I first asked for mousselines but they only had *one* moussie and it was the Sunrise shawl. It was stunning pink-sorbet-peach but I wanted either Iris or Zebra Pegasus. They didn't have any maxi-twillys, and the CSGMs were all very boring and not my colours, so I passed. I also checked out a small Double Sens in Trench/Crevette and a black Pico 22. The Pico was adorable, but black did not make me feel happy, so I passed on both bags.
Since I didn't have any luck with other formats, I tried on a few 90s, even though I really didn't want more. A sangles in turquoise and yellow caught my eye, and a couple of other items, but I took the SA's card and told him I'd be back in a day or so.
I went back with the BF a few days later, and tried on the moussie and some 90s again - the turquoise sangles was nice, but I spotted an Iris in CW 13 that just made my heart sing.
I also found a Summers Day twilly with the blue edge, which has always caught my eye. Then in SLG I found a Calvi in Rose Lipstick Chevre. I also looked at getting a Clic or some costume necklace, but nothing caught my eye. In fact a couple of the pieces looked like lanyards/conference badges on me, and BF, the SA and I had a good laugh at that. After I had picked out these items, BF sweetly offered to get them for my birthday, so I was glad I had stopped when I did. As we were finishing up with paying, I noticed the Kelly belt on the other SA, and asked if they had any. At this point, I saw BF's shop-o-meter had expired, so I suggested he get a drink at the bar next door, while I checked out the belts. They had saffron, white and some other colour, but Bleu Zanzibar with GHW jumped out and came home with me.
TL, DR: I got a Calvi in Rose Lipstick Chevre, Summers Day Twilly and 90cm Iris CW 13
And Bleu Zanzibar / GHW Kelly belt.
Mod shots when I wear them, but the Calvi now holds my store cards and other misc gift cards. It's very practical, and I may swap it for my CC / ID pouch just so I can touch it more often.
I had heard poor reviews of the service at the Lisbon store, but it was a very nice shopping experience on both my visits. Because they were not busy, I could take my time to see what they had, the SA was happy to show me things on the first day, even though I had indicated that I was primarily window shopping. They didn't have any B/K to offer, but I suspect those are for locals. They did have a fair bit of stock of basic stuff, and some Carmens etc.

omg. a market of flowers and produce! we have something similar here in Copenhagen called Torvehallerne.
I took my mom there (it's also her first time in Europe) and she went nuts! she was like, "Allan, I only saw these things on TV and now I'm seeing them in real life." It was a proud moment for me
sorry for butting in. go on with more pics
I raised this issue with Vlad and hopefully an automatic image resizing will be on tPF's pipeline of upcoming features. Fingers crossed!
No market pics here, but I did visit a cafe/bakery where they made custard tarts right in front of you. They were also the most delicious ones I've ever eaten - crisp flaky pastry and cremel brûlée sweet custard.

Yes!!! I'd only ever had bad ones before, and even the ones I had elsewhere in Portugal were not as delicious as these. I did not stand in line at Belem so I can't compare to those.
Sending flowers from my garden this week....
The flower market and the nearby vegetable market are amazing. Small plazas, but full of gorgeous stuff.
Very hot! Definitely a wonderful party town. You basically spend all day outdoors (sticking to the shady side of the street), except when inside napping to get out of the heat.Hi moma, thanks so much for sharing your pics!
Great pix!! I'm sure your mom loved the market!omg. a market of flowers and produce! we have something similar here in Copenhagen called Torvehallerne.
