Hi! I got these lovelies from a shop in Zamalek. Unbelievably, I lived around the corner from it for an entire year, walked passed it daily for nearly two years and never set foot inside until recently!
The fabric market (boulaq/wikalat el balah) will be getting cottons in late Feb – apparently (am wondering if it’s English or Egyptian time)! I’m chomping at the bit!
Update: the shop is called Noura (I couldn’t remember before). It’s on a street just off Hassan Sabry (on the right) just after the traffic lights. It’s just after the post office.
I love to make things. This is where I record my work and share interesting little things I stumble across both online and in the streets of Cairo, Egypt, where I live.
Lovely!
Where did you get it?
