Silk Road Hunt XVI Grid-Wide Hunt, part 2

 SRH XVI: Visiting the Shops, part 2!

Hi there! It has been boiling hot where I live, so hope you don't mind me baring my midriff this time. We'll be going through the 2nd half of all the shops participating in Silk Road Hunt (SRH) XVI's Grid-Wide Hunt and I need to stay cool while shopping, lol.

Silk Road Hunt XVI - Outside Zashiki-gi

REMINDER: Be sure to visit our TWO THEMED MARKETS also & do the Hidden Silk Worms game for more free gifts! We have about 40 merchants participating with booths at the Verne and Twain Market sites, both sites offering great sales & cool products!
