Patterned scarves hang across the thatched-roof stall, with some featuring decorative brooches, tassels and large pendant-style ornaments. The lower displays feature beaded necklaces, earrings, oxidized-metal chokers, long necklaces and other costume jewelry in a range of colors and designs. Visitors browse the merchandise from different sections of the stall, creating a busy market scene at the craft fair.
