I went to Sham Shui Po today. It's across the harbor, in an area of Kowloon. Blocks and blocks where you creative types can buy glitter by the pound, beads by the shovelful, ribbons by the roll.
And though I'm not so crafty, it tickled me to see the colors of the rainbow bottled in jars,
And brimming in baskets
Fluffy pom-poms, every size, every color, bagged like cotton candy
Ribbons, ribbons, and more ribbons
and chains and cords and ropes.
Fringes of feathers
and strands of baubles and beads.
Makes me wish I had just a tad bit of creativity in me, but just looking at it all makes me smile.
Things like this, this is what I love about Hong Kong.
