as seen from the car window
unpacking-I forgot all about the giant string ball.
sneak peek : spring 12 block printed dupattas. use as a beach sarong or a big scarf.
new wool shawls.
new wool blankets
a few of the many men and women who have patiently put up with me tearing their khadi shops apart.
perfume shop back of counter : ambience of an opium den with red light blubs and the heady scent of incense and sandalwood. look in your next shipment for little sandalwood sachets to keep your khadi fresh and exotic...
picked up loads of new lungis, including some in very rustic, heavier weaves from northern India, below.
improbably, I found my favorite brass merchant (front left) from a past flea market, here at his friend's shop in the old city.
some treasures bought
here he is again, with his brother. we spent a good part of the morning on his back terrace discussing things and having tea. spruced up now to escort me to banyan shopping.
banyan salesmen
another merchant in the old city. his trimmings shop is over 100 years old, started by his grandfather. situated on a street of stalls full of sparkles, it is like a little museum full of everything you would need to guild the lily.
the gentleman who supplies our rolling pins.
one of our favorite gamcha vendors
