I have some stores that are my favourite, there's the Nike store, that even thou it's expensive it has some cool sports stuff. Maskota, the pet store has some really sweet toys for your pets, ballls, kongs, stuffed toys, etc, there's also different brands of food, sadly there's also pets for sale which are not always kept in the best conditions. I think my favourite is La Sevillana, it's not just about the candy, it's beautifully decorated and they have tons of brands of candy, included imported ones. There's 2 toy stores, one with the usual brands we all now and the other one with imported toys which are nice but tend to be a bit more expensive. There's an underground parking lot, it's not cheap but you can get your ticket stamped at most stores and get either free hrs or a big discount.

My aunt kept insisting to buy me a really nice purse but I wasn't sure since I didn't know what it looked like, so she sent me a pic of one. I was in shock when I knew that was the kind of purse she was offering. She knows the owner so I could get any colour combination I wanted. After thinking for a couple weeks I ordered mine, it did took about a month to get it, but totally worth the wait. She works with leather, metal chains and other materials, all combined with traditional bags. There's different sizes of bags available and theres even matching wallets, which I'm hoping to get mine soon!

One reason I stopped in Oaxaca was to pick up a rug -- not too big as it had to fit in my backpack…read more This city is a great place to explore traditional well-made crafts and textiles. There is a depth and variety of style here, too, because Oaxaca is home to so many artists. I was looking for a simply-designed rug with natural plant and insect dyes. Most rugs use chemical dyes because chemicals are easier to obtain and cheaper to buy. Most buyers in these markets don't care because they typically want a conversation piece so the demand is not there. I have shopped at a few stores in Oaxaca over the years. (MARO, the women's artist cooperative nearby is a worthwhile place to check out.) The people here at Casa de las Artesanías de Oaxaca were all very helpful. I spoke with an elderly woman weaver who showed me some beautiful rugs but none with natural dyes. One of the weavers said that natural dyes are more difficult to find because there are far fewer skilled persons locally that know which plants and insects to use and the methods to produce the dyes are labor-intensive. After a hunt, I was brought some natural-dyed rugs but the designs were too touristy for my taste. One fellow said he had a rug but didn't think I would like the design because it was very unusual. I was curious so he pulled it out from under a large pile of more popular offerings. Unusual it was and even the elderly woman weaver didn't know what to make of it. She said she had never seen such a design and it surely wasn't Mexican-influenced. I loved it and bought weaver Agostin Mendoza's what I call 'Mexican mid-century-modern' rug.
