After only being here 6 weeks, I have definitely discovered my favorite place to visit…..and that would be the textile souk…..I have been there twice in the last week. Twenty two ladies from the quilters group diverged on the place, breaking up into groups. The shop keepers had dollar signs in their eyes; very happy to greet and assist us. After we drove a caravan of vehicles through the crazy city streets of Kuwait….to have lunch at a Moroccan restaurant. My first time to eating this cuisine, and it is delicious. (I am now searching for Moroccan recipes) Three days later, I had Mustafa (my other driver) take me there again to meet Mary and Diana…..this time the shopping was a little less crazy and we were able to take our time to really investigate the goods. I definitely feel like a little girl going to Disney land…..there is just so much to look at, and my brain going in a many different directions as to what projects I could use the beautiful crystals or buttons, charms, or laces….Textiles galore from silks, to upholstery. I saw many Kuwait women with fashion magazine pages in hand buying fabric to then take to a tailor. The options and selections are limitless. It is extraordinary. The fabrics exquisite and prices so reasonable. I can’t help but to keep going back.
