Yuppiee, I am doing my 10th post in September, which is not common as I usually come up with only 8-9 posts a month. Today I wanted to tell about my small joys I get here in India. This week I discovered few stationery shops near my office in sector 17. It means that now I don't have to go especially to any other sector for purchase of crafty supplies and can buy them in my lunch time or after office hours :) These stationery shops are mainly "built in" the book stores. First time I went there with my nice colleague and friend J, she is also a foreigner married to an Indian. I bought these nice wrap paper sheet, my friend approved the choice. I really enjoy their designs!
Today I went shopping again and picked up 8 colorful craft tapes and three pens and paid 70 rupees for all. I mean to say that the stationery in India is very cheap and this is my joy too :) I was longing also to buy "craft scissors" as I call them. How happy I was when found a set of four such scissors with zigzag, cloud, wave and mountain shaped razors. However I didn't want to buy so many of them straight away and continued searching for a single item. I ended up buying these awesome colorful zigzag scissors from another shop. Oh well, there is loads of stuff left over there still, so will plan another "trip" sometime later ;)
***Have a joyful weekend ahead!***
The stationery stores here are usually within bookstores, too. The biggest one is Jarir Bookstore which sells books, computer and arts & craft supplies. I don't get over there very often. And actually if I could get organized, I would be able to papercraft again without always searching for stuff. Hope you have a great weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Tammy:) yes, I think that the problem is actually not in availability of the supplies, but time which you have to find to create something.the stationery is easily available over here in every market. i'd love to see your paper crafts! Have a great weekend!
DeleteSuch a beautiful, colorful post today. I love beautiful paper although I am not one to craft with it because I am entirely too busy with yarn. Those tapes are wonderful, glad it is a store near by so you can pop in with ease.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day,

Thanks, Meredith :)Even I fell in love with those tapes and couldn't resist buying them. well, i still have very unclear idea about what i'm gonna do with all that stuff, but better to have it when it's needed.
DeleteHave a lovely day as well!
I can understand your thrill at finding a new stationary shop-- its the same her..I become so excited when I discover a good shop to buy crafty stuff from! Those tapes are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI am still in the process of discovery of a new city. So much is unknown! Well, I hope to use the tapes in my card project :) Thanks for leaving a comment, Sonia!
