Today, I went to Aba Market. I was on a mission to find some awesome beads for my next project. What I love about this place is the huge variety. If you look long enough, you can find just about anything.
The market was buzzing. Vendors were shouting prices, they were dragging people to come buy with them. Shoppers were haggling over deals. The sounds of bargaining filled the air.
It took me a while to get to where I wanted to shop from but as soon as I entered, I was blown away by all the colorful beads. There were tons of choices—glass beads, plastic ones, wooden beads, and some very cool hand-carved designs. The colors were fantastic, from bright reds and blues to soft pastels and earthy shades. I had to take my time to figure out what I wanted.
I moved from one stall to another, getting into some good old bargaining. Some sellers quickly dropped their prices, while others stood their ground. I really admired their skills. After some back-and-forth, I finally snagged a great deal on beads that matched my vision perfectly.
Shopping here is more than just buying things. It’s an experience. The smell of street food made my mouth water, and I couldn't resist the urge to grab a snack. I bought some cooked corn and coconut and I bought water too to step it down.
The energy of the market is always contagious. I love how everyone is hustling to put food on their table.
There’s something special about picking out your own materials. It makes whatever you're creating feel even more special. With my bag full of colorful beads and excitement bubbling inside me, I headed home, already dreaming up all the projects I could make.
After I got my beads, I took a moment to check around the market because I still got enough time at hand.
Today reminded me how amazing the little things can be, the fun of finding new ideas, the thrill of haggling, and the joy of getting exactly what you need.
Aba Market always delivers, and I can’t wait for my next trip! I am wishing myself luck and I am going to share all my projects here on Steemit. 🥰
