It`s been a while since I posted . You could say I have been a little preoccupied trying to catch up with loads of unfinished work from before my vacation. Why is it that I always end up with lots of things to do before and after the holiday ?
And this time is no different . Guess my creative ideas will have to wait for some more time before they take off ! But I had to share the goodies that I got from my recent trip . It was a hurried but exciting time at the Sampeng Market on the last day of my trip .
I felt like Alice in Wonderland . The crowded lanes and bylanes were filled with goodies to make any craft enthusiast giddy . Wish I could have spent more time , but could`nt as I had a flight to catch and head back home .
And here is the hoard of treasure I got .
clasps and closures for my jewellery
And of course the purse frames which I never get in India , will come in handy for my bead crochet projects !
I am so happy with my treasures and am soon going to start my new project so do stop by
