More Travels in Thailand

I am braving the heat, the long bus rides......sometimes a bus without air conditioning , the smell, the frustration of not being able to understand what's being said around me but enjoying every minute of the experience and adventure!!! Here are pictures of my activities and what I've found for you, ladies, so far.

Gorgeous hand embroidered cotton bags made by Hmong artisans....Atu is so happy, I am buying a lot of her bags!!! She said it was her lucky day but I told her that I don't believe in luck. I said, " You are very blessed today!!!" Told her that her work is breathtaking and impeccably gorgeous!!! 

Elegant handpainted hair accessories .....a husband and wife team who are wonderfully entrepreneurial do the hand painting of these barrettes for a living.

Minda figuring out which one to select.... Handpainted and batiked silk scarves.

Minda trying to figure out whether this design will be part of our Fall 2016 collection. It's a jacket in linen/ cotton blend.

Chiffon garment scarves, anyone? Try to decide which one is a challenge!!! When you can't decide, let's just buy them all!!
