Ten Things Tuesday- Bali Shopping

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, 
Amanda X

    1. I only bought a small one- I would love one of the large ones- not that it would fly for me though!

  3. I 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

  4. How 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.
