In Zhengzhou there aren't any JoAnn Fabrics or Michael's or shops similar to them stratigically placed throughout the city. There is one big area, roughtly the size of half a city block, that is just known as the "Fabric Market". Today I went to that wonderous place to look for material for my wedding dress as well as for the bridesmaids' dresses & my niece's dress, with my friend Jennifer and her Mom.

Unfortunately, the weather has been pretty bad, it's been raining the past four days, hard to believe I know, so when we arrived most of the shops were still opening their shops. The first shop we went to, more like a stall really, didn't have anything I wanted. What they had was beautiful, just not what I was imagining for my wedding.

Out of the corner of my eye I spotted this shop:



We dodged the rain to get to the shop and I spent a good 45 minutes in it, looking and touching some of the most beautiful fabric I've ever seen. After much deliberation I found everything I was looking for. And the beauty of it, was how cheap it all was. Fabric that would have cost me at least a couple hundred dollars in the States cost me all of $61.00.

Another reason I love China.

Does this really surprise anyone??
