| Vendors at the Nachalat Benyamin craft fair. |
On Tuesdays and Fridays, Nakhalat Binyamin Street, part of the old Yemenite quarter, comes alive with craft vendors. I love street fairs, so I couldn't resist a visit. Unlike the Bauhaus and socialist concrete archectiture that lines other streets in Tel Aviv, the buildings on this street are a mix of Classical, Moorish and Art Nouveau in design, making for a pretty venue.

Orna Barel is wrapping my little dishes for transport back home.
I wanted to buy everything at the table. |
Orna Barel sells ceramics that called out to me. I had to have some of her little pomegranate-shaped dishes. I'll use them as place to set tea bags or I will just admire them on my kitchen counter. 100 NIS for three dishes works out to less than $10 each. A great price for handmade ceramics. She sells on Etsy
here, if you'd like to see more designs.

| The blue bird necklace I purchased from Beth Shoham |
I also treated myself to a necklace by Beth Shoham, who paints with glass powders on glass, and often adds accents in real gold and silver. The glass is fired in a kiln, then surrounded with a sterling silver frame. I chose a delicate blue bird design. Beth has been selling at the market for six years, and it is her full time job.
