Meet Lucy

The friend who always finds something interesting.

24, Hastings, East Sussex. Weekends at markets. Never spends much. Almost always finds something worth talking about.

Lucy Harper, natural candid portrait

Hi, I'm Lucy.

I've always been the person who comes back from a Sunday market with something unexpected. Not expensive. Not planned. Just interesting.

A ceramic dish from a stall in the rain. A linen shirt that cost £4 and gets worn constantly. A hand-painted sign that now lives in my kitchen. The kind of finds you can't really explain, but you know were worth taking home.

This site is my attempt to share that — the markets, the finds, the sellers, the wandering. Not as a shopping guide. More like a friend saying "I was there last Sunday and here's what I saw."


What I believe

Spending more doesn't make a thing more personal.

The philosophy

The little finds are the ones that actually mean something.

The things people remember aren't usually the expensive ones. They're the £3 plate that belonged to someone's kitchen. The book found at a car boot. The handmade thing from a stall you almost walked past.

The rule

Lucy's £5 Find — the rule she never breaks.

Every week, one find under £5. Not because cheap is always better. Because it proves the point — interesting things are everywhere, if you're willing to look.

The directory

Markets deserve to be easier to find.

There are hundreds of brilliant markets, fairs and independent shopping spots across the UK. Most of them don't have much of an online presence. That's what the directory is for.
