Where do you buy your furniture? Do you go to Ikea? A custom maker perhaps? Back home, sellers come to us. They bring their products by foot, interestingly when I was younger they were carried by carabaos – what we call that? I forgot. Maybe someone can tell us. ^_^
Nowadays, there are very few vendors left in the trade. Thanks to Maiy for this capture. It’s like going back to my childhood — down memory lane.
Speaking of where to buy, where do I buy my boys’ clothes? Random actually but for my older one I prefer striped for him. Makes him look “thicker.”

I love the selections in Ikea but it’s not within our budget, purita itech!. We always go to SM department store or Our Home para may points sa SM Advantage Card. 😀

it’s been a while since i have seen vendors selling baskets. now they have trikes, and a cow-drawn carriage.:p i bought furniture from Our Home, an SM-owned furniture store. i am trying to buy on line, it’s cheaper than mall-based stores.
big boy na ang anak mo…may gf na ba?:p

kalesa? those horse-drawn carriage filled with native products. when u lived in a province like ours, ul see every seller that sells anything from “ukay-ukay, asstd veggies, fish on wheels, plastic wares…and more. pinoys are really “inventive”:)
