So today's stop is in Chittigong--I was lucky enough to be asked to attend a ground breaking for a new factroy where my production will be starting up in January--so there will be many many more trips to this intresting city. Here is a video of protions of the ground breaking--hope you enjoy!
While there I found an amazing store that sold all sorts of hand crafts made by the locals--the entire store is based on promoting Bangolie handy crafts--talk about amazing! I sent so much time and money in this store--I had to by another bag!
Today's blog candy is one of my favs--hand done needle work is so nice--this little zipper bag will be great for your purse or bag to hold a few odds and ends--I found this at a store in Chittagong that was full of local hand made items from frames to scarves to beaded boxes! I bought so much here I had to get a second suitcase to get it all home!
Next stop India--
see you than
Bryan

I have never even hear of Chittigong but here I am attending a ground breaking like no other I have attended. Tomorrow is India! I have always been facinated by their culture. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Chittigong. How do you say it and what country is it in? Who knew I'd learn geography from a crafty site. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is kind of nice - thinking of all the land we've unceremoniously dug up and built on in the U.S. The pearl necklace is to die-for gorgeous!

P.S
My sister in-law came home to the states in March she had three suitcases one with her things and the other two empty and still she mail a few boxes home(6) boxes this last time & had to pay for another extra suitcase at the airport).So buying suitcase is not so bad.
Very interesting to see part of this ground breaking ceremony. Thanks for sharing.
