Outrageously kitschy and cute – baby ponytail holders at the Dry Goods Market in the Nanshi District of Shanghai.

Being an indoor bazaar, the Dry Goods Market is indeed “dry,” which we appreciated after strolling through the outdoor market in the rain.

Lots and lots of everything, not even sure what. This is, I reminded myself, the country where all those cheap toys are made.

What one needed outside that day.
I want to go there!
Such gorgeous colors.
colors everywhere- I loved the pic of 'everything but you weren't sure what it was'- ha ha- just stuff but nonessential stuff.
Full of color. Love it.
Loving the bright colors and imagining how interesting it must be to walk in there on a cold, gray and overcast day.
Wow, I'm not sure how I'd handle that! I've always been a boring muted color person – even my closet is mostly brown, dark green, or beige when I'm feeling squirrely. Great photos!
