Oh yes....just what my itching Gypsy bone needed........exotic linens and textiles........... bright and beautiful colour .......bargains and bartering.............carpets, clothes, fabrics, shoes, home ware, accessories..........more than your time and purse can handle in one day and one visit.....
I came home with some lovely gypsy tops, like always....bangles....lots of them, beautiful french damask curtains for my studio/creative space and lots of small bargains like millinery flowers, buttons, ribbons and all kinds of scraps for next to nothing.......what a great day we had....
If ever you find yourself in Johannesburg South Africa....do visit the Oriental Plaza.....with over 360 stores, it really is a price Mecca ! ! ! ...No price is fixed, bartering or haggling for a price is part of the experience, that guarantees you the best selection of local and international Designer brands.

I wonder how the story about the people under and around the rug goes. ;-)
Thank you for caring, i appreciate it ! Aina :)
The Oriental Bazaar sounds delightful! I could almost imagine myself there along with you. ♥
Oh my, Gypsy you have a true creative romantic soul full of wild adventures of the heart. I love all that you have discovered and love the same things as you...I wonder if I'm a gypsy too?
The autumn poem is just so much of what I truly love. Thanks for sharing it, and I might add that Autumn usually inspires me even more to be creative...I suppose its the cool breezes and the roaring fire that makes my heart sit back and listen to my soul.
Luv Annabelle
