Masai Market

Sunday, once again time for the Masai Market. I had been longing to go back there since the first time, so many beautiful colors, fabrics, bags and jewelry and so very cheep (if you know how to bargain). Last time I was scared of the very pushy vendors but this time I knew my Kiswahili words and could play the game of someone who knew what she was doing. I’m even getting better at bargaining, I found it a bit to fun and didn’t want to stop.

This is what I bought:

A bag (the green one) perfect for carrying my camera around in, now I’ll be able to take more pictures to show you.

Two scarves, they are amazing (just as with the bag and the fabric the internet doesn’t do the colors justice) and surprisingly high quality, so soft and comfy. The best part is that they are perfect to wear as turbans, the best type of clothing there is in the Kenyan sun.

The yellowish thing is a fabric that I’ll put on my wall as fast as I can find a place where they can frame it. It took me hours to choose which fabric I wanted because there were so many of them but this suited my wall the best.

A typical Kenyan print painting that I just fell in love with. It is perfectly covering up the part of my wall were someone has written Robin was here 2009.
