What a lovely town that is. i wonder if 'town' is a proper name. But St. Jacobs, which is located near the outskirt of Waterloo, is a very small but homely place where delicate craft shops topped with snow stand elegantly alongside a frozen river. It reminds me of 'a story right out of a book'! That earth shop in 'whisper of heart'. artisans' hands are god made. And i'm so happy that car was finally back to life and all of us had a chance to go out and breathe fresh air!! It's not cold, perfect whether. Last time we went out to shovel snow, i was frozen hard like iced pork.
back to st. jacobs. the first stop was a somewhat arabian flavoured craft shop with a familiar name 'earth winds'. all of those on display are authentic handmade stuff. wood crafts, pottery, mirrors, carpets. and great! I don't have any money with me, although i'd like to buy the whole shop haha. but it's always been a somewhat childhood ? or teenage dream to own a shop like this, in an enchanting wooden hart, where foreign music drifts in the background, pulling customers souls away. evil laughters * hahahahha*
the most impressive shops we visited were glass shops. stained glass, blown glass. sparkling immaculately smooth surfaces that even tickles your appetite. imagine that rosy coloured plate filled up with grapes, yummy! and dry petals pressed between two stained galss panels. and dreamcatchers of all sizes. one of them is about a metre cube in space. ya said she'd hang it in a triangle topped attic. and together with tarot cards, and mysterious aroma. there you have a perfect witch's alcove.
later this evening, we went to the waterloo park... to be continued
