Trader's is an on-going series reflecting the pleasures of doing business with independent traders. I have bought many of my belongings, mostly furniture, either at street markets or small on-off shops. I find it a more satisfying experience to buy something in this way rather than from an indifferent chain store. I can lose hours on one of these excursions where I am as attracted to the human exchange as I am to the search for some unique artefact.
