lace shopsby cheapskate
This place is like a rainbow island to me. All houses are painted in vibrant colours and no 2 consecutive houses are painted in the same colour.
This is like the ideal island for some Nippon or Dulux paint advertisement.
Besides the colourful houses, there are many lace shops because this is where the famour venetian silk comes from. I couldn't locate the lace factories though i think most families make the lace themselves. there is a lace museum.. but i'm not THAT into lace.. so i'll pass with the history of lace....
With so many lace shops in my face.. how can i not buy anything.. i mean.. i don't even like lace.. and i still landed up buying a toilet roll holder?!?! Geez.. gone-case shopaholic!
