Went crazy for these things in Bali:
Ikat weave fabrics to add to my fabric collection (here as table runners) , the buddha bead necklaces I bought from a vendor in seminyak beach, and those kalachuchi (frangipani) flowers that tourists wear everywhere ( I had to buy a couple, coz they match some of my outfits/swimsuits and they will never wilt, :) :

this huge cocktail ring made from carabao bone that matches my buddha bead bracelet ( the heavily carved table unfortunately I cannot bring home :)
and we bought this "angel" ring, also made from carabao bone set in brass, as a memento for this special trip with my BFFs (best fag friends haha)
and this seemingly serendipitous purchase, serendipitous because we just happened to be walking the whole length of Petitenget after a full lunch at Sardine, we didn't really know where we're going. Then I just stumbled upon this hardware store full of beautifully-crafted brass hardware (doorknobs, drawer pulls, hinges, etc). I found myself touching and gushing at each piece. I felt like that fat kid in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, the salesboy giving me an embarrassed smile seemingly questioning why this tourist is having her photo taken at a hardware store. lol
For the shopping alone, I can't wait to be back Bali.
