Shopping with Nadia is always an adventure... She's shown me loads of little places to find the best of Durban's shopping offers: wonderful vintage, lace and ribbon, trims and trinkets and of course BUTTONS...

We saw these gorgeous ancient boxes of binding in one of the shops we discovered on Brickfield road. It's awefully dusty and quite a bit messy, but it's overloaded with treasures for crafting.

Old fashion binding by the box-load

Petersham ribbon to die for

 The hand full of buttons I came home with.

Stocking up for the silly season has seldom been this fun :)
