Ethno

*More Ethno style now can be find on my Zexxy's wife-crafts blog

Some small ethnic stores can bring the world to your doorsteps and Vancouver is probably one of the best places to feel that global vibe in many ways. Creativity and originality of the people from the other continents gives us sparkle of hope to end humdrum to this global trend of washing away anything unique and different including style. Through the pieces of artworks in these stores it's easy to feel a lifestyles of other people and nations and enjoy their preserved heritage. And Vancouver's West End, Gastown or Commercial Drive are the best places to feed a desire for that type of inspiration.
