We're looking for terrace furniture. Off season is a good time to look.

So we headed to a friend's store. Ramon has a huge Aladdin's Cave of international furniture - vintage and antique from Africa and Asia.

But I was distracted by these singing bowls from Tibet that had just arrived. Aren't they beautiful? Hand hammered for a wonderful sound. Supposedly the bowl chooses you....

Well, one chose me last year in India! So I wasn't tempted. But thought they looked great.
