My favorite place...

is the fabric market in Xiamen. Oh. My. Gosh. Wow.

 Upholstery fabric.

 Velour and stretchy lace.

 Vibrant colors.

 Ribbons.

 Tule.

 Lace.

 Brocade ribbon.

 Ruffles.

 Thread.

 Beads.

 String.

 Bolts and bolts.

 Tailor shops that will custom make clothes, for cheap.

 Beautiful fabrics.

 Velvets.

 Meters upon meters.

 Silk brocades.

 Tempting patterns.

 Costume fabric.

 Vibrant blue temptations.

 Silks.

And softness that calls to you. 

Wanna come to China yet? I see as my Achilles heal, a proverbial personal Pandora's box of Xiamen. 
I could live here. Wait, I do.
