There is so much to write about here, both the mundane and the unusual that I have struggled to decide what direction to take this blog. Over the last couple of weeks though I have been busy with a number of things that I thought sharing would be useful for other new arrivals or visitors with certain interests and in some way it brings me full circle to buying my first bangles at KAN.

i have always been interested in textiles and fashion, especially historical and cultural textiles. I love sewing, knitting and embroidery and thEre is much to be fascinated here in that area. And I also care about conservation, sustainability and fair trade so there will be some stories about that too. I’m not going to write a travel blog but a bit like my other blog Reluctant Knitter if you are interested in some of the things I am hopefully you will find things to read over the next few weeks you will enjoy.
