Does anyone know if it is possible to get pinking shears here in the North - don't go to the South so suggestions for there are not an option. Thanks

Mrs. BOERBOEL

In old Lefkosa on the way to the Ledra street crossing; there's a turning on the left opposite The No Name Shop with 2 haberdashery shops on the right hand side. The second one sells them, but don't go for the cheaper ones, because they get blunt very quickly!

Thanks fatouche for your reply, unfortunately I don't know Lefkosa at all so would probably not find where you have suggested was hoping for somewhere in Girne area.

I don't think there's anywhere in Girne. There are a
couple of haberdashery shops, but they're very basic.

Thanks again fatouche.

Perhaps try the lady with the shop that sells everything? She is located next to Rahime the dentist, coming from Lapta direction, take the last turnoff of the bypass before the Girne exit, at the traffic lights opposite Ezic premier. At the bottom of the road turn right, past Besiktas market, and a few doors along on the left is the lady...she has 2 shops together and above the right hand shop she has a haberdashery. It's a bit cramped with lots going on but seems to have most things sewing related. God luck.

Thanks Brighton Dot will go there and have a look

Oops, should read at the bottom turn left past Besiktas.not right! Sorry.

That's okay, I did think you meant left as I know where the dentist is

Hi Boerboel. I have a pair that you can have, made in Japan (stainless steel) 10 lira. 05338837495/6 I live in Alsanack.

Thanks snowball, that would be great and yes will definitely take them. I am waiting for my car to come back from a service so will ring you later to arrange to meet (I am also in Alsancak)

Many thanks

Many thanks Snowball, the pinking shears are perfect
