and you thought our island is devoid of creative nooks and crannies...Humptydump suggests this itinerary. the shops are all within walking distance and can be covered in one day.... provided you can resist the temptation to linger...

1st stop: Doinkydoodles at Bali Lane - Lotsa Handmade goodness. am trying to get humptydump's stuff sold there :)

 

arrrggh.... more from Doinky Doodles 

2nd stop - MomLuvDIY at Level 2 Concept Story - 44 Haji Lane::
Love these handmade pouches, tissue covers, passport holders created by MomLuvDIY. Reminds me of the time I HAD TO HAVE THOSE coveted SANRIO stuff when we were young. and they are original SANRIO fabrics, not the pirated ones with totally wrong colours. Kitsch but adorable.
