   In vancouver, I don't remember what part of town it is in, but there is an area of many East Indian businesses - and several fabric and Sari shops there that are fabulous! *Good* prices on exquisite silks that you just won't see elsewhere.

   In Bellingham, my best friend's sister runs a bead shop,

   Bead Bazaar

   Fairhaven Marketplace

   1001 Harris Avenue

   Bellingham, WA 98225

   800-671-5655

   Seed beads (5/0 - 14/0), semi-precious stone, Indian & Czech glass, wood, bone, horn, porcelain and clay; books, tools, findings.

   Dear Barb,

   Thanks for the tip on East Indian fabric stores.  I hope I can check some out, as I'd love to buy some silks!    Although I don't do beading , the Bead Bazaar sounds neat!

   Dear Zoyia,

   Thanks for the tips!  I am most interested in garment fabrics, so "Rokko Sarees" sounds intriguing.  Is this in the East Indian area mentioned by Barb?

   MY BIL usually takes me around while I am there. I don't think this is really in an ethnic store as he carries other fabrics than ones for sarees, but the owners are so nice, and  and the store is tidy so that is why we go there. There is another shop that is floors of trims and buttons and stuff, but it is a day trip for us in a more challenging area of town.
