Aloha, I feel like I just stumbled upon a hidden treasure! Thank you for this great info. Throughout the 1980's I used to travel to the Philippines often but I haven't been there since Pinatubo erupted!
ReplyDeleteI loved being there and loved eating Filipino food. Looking forward to seafood, sinigang and halo halo!
I'm coming back in a few weeks with my daughter who wants to go shopping at Greenhills.
I love beading and I'm looking forward to stocking up while I'm in Manila, especially on semi-precious, pearls and silver.
So, this info is so helpful! Thank you!
We'll be staying near Greenhills, so I'll have to figure out how far Villalobos Street is from Greenhills.
Anyway, thank you and have a very blessed day!
Hello Sherrie,
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply I was out for the holidays! I'm glad you like the post and I hope you enjoy shopping in Quiapo and in Divisoria too.
There are buses in front of VirraMall in Greenhills called G-LINER that go straight to Recto or Quiapo. So its fairly easy to get there, but if you can't stand the heat and traffic you can take a cab.
Happy New Year!
Love your blog! Do you know how/where I can find Filipino beaders for a high end bead project? I searched the CITEM catalog and couldn't find anyone listed as providing that service.
ReplyDeleteHi Nadia, sorry I missed out on your comment. Most of the beaders are from Cebu. I would suggest Avatar Accessories http://www.avatar-style.com/

ReplyDeletengayon alam ku na kung san aku pupunta pag bibili aku ng mga kakaylanganin ku beads para sa accesories na gagawin ko..
:)
salamat naman alam ko na kung san ako bibili ngaun ng wholesale beads..ask ko lang po kung pwde ko malaman ang price para malaman ko kung kaya ng budget ko..price po ng mga DIY beads,,,Thanks and God bless...
ReplyDeleteAt P10 you can buy a pack or string of beads na. If you have P100 madami ka ng mabibili. Kung gusto mo ng mga sosyalan na beads or semi-precious stones, it will cost you around P50-P80 per string/tali, naka-bundle na yon :) mag enjoy ka na lang sa pagpili. For as low as P500 may basic bead business ka na :)
DeletePero tuwing pupunta ako dun napapagastos ako ng P2,000 kasi di ko mapigilan sarili ko hahaha... bead adik bah?
i really want to start a small business and this is really helpful especially for a first timer like me. thanks so much beadsnob. more power :)
