Good shopping friend. Dennis & Gail
Hahahhah Dennis i didn`t shop at all , just walking by Twice a week i walk there and enjoy the changing Scenes in the shops` windows.
Wow! If I read you correctly, they're asking $360.00 for a plain crocheted shawl. That's like using 9 skeins of $40.00-a-skein yarn. What are they made of, cashmere and quivit?

Sorry Tamar ,, it might have been my wish it is 4.50 [minus plus] shekles to one 1$ ] ,, not the other way around ,,,, But still the shawls are overpriced mirjam
Ah. The sweaters at $300.00 are priced like the ones NY city boutiques. A plain shawl would be, um, 80 shekels or about $16.00 - that's not all that high.
150 shekels would be about $30.00 which would be a little high for a totally plain shawl, but then we expect a higher hourly rate for our work.=Tamar
