Macrame in Stores

Today my son was a little cranky because of the heat. He has not yet built up my tolerance or love for the heat yet, but I hope he does soon, because we are going to Jamaica in October for my cousins wedding.

Anyway, we went to the mall, and I decided to check the stores I normally don't go into because I consider them "tiny titty" stores. Basically meaning that if I had small breasts, I too could fit into their clothes. I could loose 70lbs and STILL not fit into their clothes. LOL But I did find a few interested macrame items. I found two belts and a purse.

One of the patterns had a simple diamond pattern like this one, but only there was a shell in the middle, that was stung on separately.

The second belt also used the diamond pattern, but had more half hitch scroll work. I wish I had a pic to show, but lets just say a little more thought went into this belt.

The purse was a simple square knot design with round purse handles. I don't often see macrame items in stores, and if they are there only a small handful. Its hard to tell if there is even a demand for these types of things, from the general public. Not that I want to start selling items, but its good to know.

Well, I have some unruly dread locks that need to be fixed up, so I gotta run.
