Shopping at the markets

 It is always interesting going shopping at the markets as there is always something new. The prices vary so it is worth shopping around.  The pink and beige basket was $10 at this stall but  a similar size one at another stall was $20.


From this stall we bought a crocodile made from shell for $50 and the seller threw in the two small shell carvings of a turtle and a dugong. (Three at the front)

We were looking at the crocodile on the right which was made from a dugong tusk for $50 and the seller said he would throw in the wooden turtle carving for free for $50 phone credit instead of cash.


This lady sold us the cassowary feather head dress (centre front) and has offered to make woven headbands for my students without feathers for $5 each. She gave me a woven bag as a gift so I could see her handiwork. 


Back at the flat we check out our latest purchases and the bag that was a gift.
