These are pictures I took during a round trip in Morocco. We visited a carpet shop (and should buy of course) I knew how it worked and they "smelled" it nobody bothered me, but there were three amongst us who bought one, far to expensive because they were not used to haggle. I love to haggle and helped my friend and finally she got her carpet for half of the price the salesman had asked for. He took it with humor laughed and said, fortunately we don't have often customers like you !

The rugs are beautiful, I love the colours and patterns.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been an amazing experience. I have a friend in the village who isquite a bit younger than me. She still travels a lot. She went to Morocco and brought me back a beautiful hand towel.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a couple of these rugs. Beautiful.

What a magnificent experience, dear Ingrid! Beautiful photos! Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteIt is a culture built on haggling and deals. Those rugs do look nice, and I can see why folks spend mor than they ought. You look like you had a great time in Morocco.
