I know I've had a few shots of markets recently, but I do tend to get a bit obsessed with them. I love seeing what you can buy in different places and there is such a hustle and bustle that goes along with market days.
This collection comes from wandering through Ubud market last week. Lots of things to look at, lots to buy- but I was very restrained..well a little!
1
Lots of mirrors and mosaics
2.
Cotton dresses, tunics and trousers.
3.
Pretty embroidered shoes
4.
Hand carved and painted wooden- anythings- Didgeridoo anyone?
Or perhaps a wooden egg?
5.
I did buy a dragon kite though- I called him Desmond!- He's green!
6.
Some very nice shadow puppets
7.
Lots of different perfumes
8.
I just love these crochet throws- so very tempted- but sadly decided I didn't have room in my suitcase!
9.
Very cute tin animals- how could I resist?- An elephant and a fish did happen to find their way back home with me!
10.
Some nice silver bling?
and as a bonus...11
A picture picture or two?
and of course there were lots more other things- but that would spoil the surprise if you ever go yourself.
Until next time,

Fantastic sticks. And shoes, and clothes.
ReplyDeleteoh, if only money and baggage allowance wasn't such an issue!
DeleteAll so bright and colourful. I really wish that I bought a kite when I was visiting they are so amazing.
ReplyDeleteI only bought a small one- I would love one of the large ones- not that it would fly for me though!
DeleteI think that I would have had to have had one of those elephants as well, they are lovely aren't they. I love the way that the squares in the crochet are joined, that would make a great quick way of making up a blanket, I might have to remember that one! xx
ReplyDeleteI really loved all the colourful crochet- shame on the baggage allowance!
DeleteHow wonderful, I bet you had a lovely time there, I got myself a basket from Ubud markets and I wished I got a silver ball but I ended up getting one in Seminyak markets. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThere really are lots of nice things aren't there? Difficult to stop buying!
DeleteWhat a visual feast! I just wouldn't gave been able to pass up on those shoes. Thank you for bringing such a wonderful part of the world right into my kitchen:).
