Adventures in Leaving

 When you move a lot, you develop some rituals in preparing your departure from a place. One of ours is to make a list of all the things we want to see in a place, and then cram all of them in a short period. This morning's activity was the Klungkung market aka Ikat heaven. I can't say I know much about textiles, but nonetheless, I would not be able to forgive myself if I left this part of the planet without some Ikat in my possession. I bought two pieces. I'm having them made into dresses.
            The Klungkung market is notoriously cheaper than the main market in Ubud, but they have a smaller variety of inventory, mostly, it's fabric, the masks like you see below, a very few antiques, and fruits, vegetables, and odd things you find in the local markets.
         

 There was just so much fabric. Am still kicking myself that I didn't bring my designer sister here when she visited.

 Of course, this is the difficulty in not having a home to actually go back to - it's not like we have  rooms mid-process in decorating to pick out fabric for throw pillows or duvet covers etc. I do have an aunt who would pick out one piece and decorate her entire house around it, but we're more the types to round up things, and then curate it all once we find a place.
          But today, inadvertently, ended up about being about my potential wardrobe.
