Hi everyone ^.^
This is the first post under the category Creativity Spotlight, a category that will feature creative works that we come across both offline and online. It's basically like a mini report and our opinions on the creative works that we have decided to share.
So without further ado here's the first one by T1 ^.^
On the fourth the day in Antananarivo, my family and I went around town to see the main sights. Our first stop was the old train station that has become a museum with small gift shops. It was here, that I came across a small souvenir shop that caught my attention. From the outside it seemed very normal but when I took a look inside, the atmosphere was so pleasant and nice that I wanted to take pictures and share what I've seen. Fortunately, the shop assistant gave me permission to document this beautiful small shop.

What I love about this store is how the interior is designed in a clean modern way but with a local and vintage touch. This can be seen from the use of the neat ordered racks and displays but filled with local details such as the woven baskets and bags.
Aesthetically, this is one of the most pleasant shops I've seen. Everything here is just perfectly balanced. Local, clean, modern but with a vintage feel. Homy. Simple yet stunning.

| Mats for hot pans from bottle caps, simply creative! :) |
A balanced combination of wood, natural colours and other accessories brightens up the whole space.

| My favourite shot. How putting flowers into a can, can simply brighten your window :) |
What I learnt from this small walk through experience is that with creativity you can always turn something simple into something stunning yet still humble and memorable.
Hope I can do something like this for my own home one day :)
Hope you enjoyed this post, see you next time :)
