Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

The Medina has areas dedicated to specific craftsmen. For example, in the leather souk the morning starts with the leather auction, skins brought from the tannery by donkey.

The craftsmen make the stock distributed to the individual stalls. Besides leather, there is the metal workers souk featuring Moroccan lanterns.

The spice souk Is located in the Jewish Quarter.

 There was a woodworking souk, textiles dying, ceramics,  carpets and one for garments. There were women making baskets. I'm sure I'm missing some.

It's all very colourful and crowded.
