Foreign accessories

To feel beautiful, is to be felt indiside out. People wear so many things just to enhance themselves before they step out. But in actual sense we don't need to do much.
Accessories are the things which can be added to something else in order to make it more useful, versatile, or attractive such as necklaces, bangles, earrings, anklet but to mention a few.
These range from hidious prices to very thoughtful prices. Who says you have accessories within your means? Well that's why I am here on this blog.
Walking through osu, I saw this stand that sold virtually everything;from statement necklaces, to earrings made from rubies, diamonds and other previous stones. Come let me tell you a secret(the vendors do not even know the worth of some of these) but just so they could get some money they sell them at low prices so then no one looses. They happy, you happy.
Some of these necklaces go as low as 4ghana cedis. Why not just pass through osu and get yourself some of these instead of walking into a shop and buying that same that is probably 7times the same price of stuff by the road side.
Business they say is not good for them yet but now that the Easter season is approaching, they hope that business booms up for them.
We as a Ghanaian community need to support these small scale businesses because frankly they are the future. We see these foreigners patronizing our goods, whilst we sit back with that complecent attitude of ours.
Let's just hope that these foreigners are not seeing things we are not. So just in case one fine afternoon you in osu for a meeting, dinner, lunch or just a causal sitting and you don't get excited about having a bare neck or wrist just step out and you will find whatever it is you want for very cheap and affordable prices.

Old Ghana cedis;being made useful or not (special edition)

These bangles I saw looked like something that the Egyptians used to wear in the ancient days. I was amazed he even had them. So my curiosity drew me nearer.
These bangles are made from our old Ghana cedis coins,that which we don't use anymore. The coins are then melted and used for these bangles. They are very chiq and antique all together.
Personally I was excited because we are channeling our old currency into good use. The bangles were not much because of financial constraints.
People do not patronize them maybe because they do not know about. Go out there to osu and get yours before the get popular.
And like I said, osu is a haven of accessories.this is my special edition

Osu is a beautiful place in which everything and anything can be found.
Interestingly, osu is noted for its accessories locations. From koala, taking a walk down to Frankie's on your left hand side, that's all you see. From foreign to locally made necklaces, waist beads, beads and their likes.
Why osu? Well stay tuned. Its yet to be unfolded.
