Team Ahimsa Blog Relay, Various Contests

Of Unicorns, Frogs and Cows

Yes!

Today I brought home:
1. Soap shaped like a unicorn
2. A cow-shaped planter
3. A little glass froggie

This was at a sale by "A Hundred Hands", a non-profit organisation run by a friend of mine. More than a hundred artisans from across the country gather to sell their wares directly to the buyer. They'll be in Bangalore for five days and then tour other South Indian cities.

I met up with a friend of mine and we wandered around the stalls together. Also, since I go each time (twice a year), many of the stall-holders recognise me now so I chat with them, too. My friend and I had a snack there together and then went to her place for a cuppa tea and another snack. We showed off the shopping to her hubby and son, and tempted her son to accompany her there for another visit by describing the snacks on sale.

For Dad, I brought home some almond-milk-powder and a couple of sweet pickles. I might visit again too, and bring him some more things to eat!

A good day was had by us!
