Been a good Sunday afternoon at the Duck Pond Market in Ruislip. I have been with my Grand daughter which was nice to have her company... easy to meet up in Uxbridge then take the metro to Ruislip. The High street there was worrying as so many shops have closed down... The artisan market was less than usual too. But my friend and supporter of Family Link Up was there with her Nepalese stall.
I got a lovely snugly shawl for Boshra in Belgium which will be warm for her in winter or she can snuggle up the kids too with it as it's a good size. So some more love from Nepal to the Syrians. I have taken over toys and little play bags for the kids before when Boshra and the family were in Eleonas Camp if you remember from past posts.. It feels nice to link up traders from around the world to share love for one another this way. The Nepalese craftsman & traders are pleased their goods go to help others through my Family Link Up project.
This cacti stall was fascinating my granddaughter as she says she is getting into the cacti plants and wanted one for her bedroom to care for. We got to know that they spurn off young plants too so she can get into propagating them too.
I will have to look out for a book on the subject for her to read up more on this.
She chose a Zebra one for now..
Here are few of my snaps of the stalls today too
and liked this art in the art shop on the walk back to the station
A tree full of hearts in the art shop. I would have liked to have got this for Boshras new apartment... but then she will be creating her own artwork soon and we can get her work framed and sold for her to earn by.
