Beautiful. and great presentation as usual. I think that you are the Ethiopian expert of the site.
@Thank you Chantal - no, no I am not (expert on Ethiopia), but I do like their things. (I wish I knew more about it, but am improving....... by searching for info about their ethnical groups).
Wow! I have to write this down! I love These earstuds as they are similar to some hairpins and Tigray Engagement or wedding pendants. I took them with me some day downtown in order to look for something that I could put at their back (they have nothing, only the needle) for Fixing them to the back of the ear (so they would not fall out)..
When I came home, I only found two! I knew well that I had 3, even though non-matching. I kept looking for them in my "Ethiopia-Box", in my handbag, in my clothes (pockets) - it stayed forlorn all These months.
Yesterday evening I was putting away the stuff on my Printer (piles!!!), and something fell down. I picked it up - it was the missing ear stud (almost 10 months!!!!). I am so happy that I found it again, since I have not seen any old ones of These for sale since then!
That's great, Eva! I am happy for you that you found the ear stud again. They are really had to find.
But I know exactly how you feel and hope that will also find my Ethiopian silver ring which I also "lost" months ago... I believe it's somewhere in the house since it disappeared around the time I took pictures of my Ethiopian items. It was epecially dear to me as I bought it on the last day of my first visit to Ethiopia...
@thank you Betty, I hope it will turn up sooner than my earstud! Let us know please, when you find it!
