Parati Travel Forum

Hi guys,

I know this is an unusual request...

I was in Parati with my girlfriend last year, and we came across a street stall selling really nice hand-painted bead jewellery. I can't remember exactly where the stall was, but it was somewhere near Praca da Matriz. I don't think it would be too hard to come across just wandering around.

Anyway, my girlfriend's birthday is coming up, and I'd really like to give her one of the necklaces that were being sold at this street stall. The necklaces are just strings of differently-coloured, brightly-painted beads with flowers, etc painted on the beads. They're really cheap, but really nice and it's more for the sentimental value than anything. Is there any chance someone in Parati would be willing to buy one of these necklaces for me? Of course, if you agree, I will post you the money first. I would be forever in your debt!

If someone thinks they might be able to help me out, please get in contact and we can sort out the details.

Thanks a million!!
Colin

If no one is around Paraty at the moment to send you the necklace, maybe I can help - in a roundabout way.

Did you stay in a pousada or hotel there? Most are family run and very willing to be helpful- so, maybe, if you can contact them, they will be able to help you out.

hi colin, im heading that way in 2 days time and will be staying right next to the square for 4 nights so can help if you dont hear back from others.... when would you need the necklace by and where do you live??? my email is jehunt147@yahoo.co.uk, no need to se4nd money first if its cheap, i always like to help out other travellers (the good karma means i wont get robbed in cocacobana later today ha ha)

Thanks both for the replies, especially James, who had a look in Parati for me, but unfortunately didn't come across the street stall we saw. If anyone else is willing to keep their eyes peeled for me while in Parati, and do me this massive favour if you come across the street stall, please get in touch! There's still a few weeks till my girlfriend's birthday, and I really would be indebted!
Thanks again guys!
