Shopping in Far North Romania
Far North Romania, there are no supermarkets, the weekly open air market is the place to shop.
Basic groceries, tombstones…..
those long hand forged blades are for farming, not waging war!
The beautiful beaded belts and little hats are on the men’s wear stall, everything a local guy needs.
The checked bags, are used by women. They are handwoven and the straps braided, it would hold your stuff as you were out about your farm or further away in the fields.
Beading supplied and beaded panels for sale.
The Second hand clothes dealer is a treat.
Last but not least- do you need a tombstone? Take them home and paint them brightly before installation.
Here are a few observations in my blog “Of Daydreams and Memories”
At Creative Arts Safaris Tours we offer fully escorted, small group tours. CAS focuses on textiles, crafts, arts and culture and yummy local cuisine.
On tour we like to get our hands dirty taking workshops, exploring locations and culture. We like to include lots of local experiences. Textiles and crafts are our passion.
Our friendly groups are inclusive. They are companionable and well organized allowing a relaxed adventure, great for solo travellers.
They include pickup & drop to airport, accommodation, group travel, sightseeing, workshops, and most meals. Almost everything EXCEPT the shopping – that is your job. Help the local economy.
