BUY: Cute Christmas decorations
We love Christmas at the bookshop and found the cutest handmade x-mas decorations from whoweare.lk. We especially love their felt tree decorations - why buy cheap Chinese baubles when we have these treasures made right here in Sri Lanka
New spot in town, When In Galle, is hosting a Christmas Market. Looks like it could be a bit different with lots of Colombo vendors, music, kids activities, sip'npaint (mulled wine?) and lots more.
15th December from 10am. See you there!
