lovely, they have got an antique feel to them
do you wear your hairpins eva ?
@Thank you Ayis. Sometimes I wear them (normally only when it is hot and I put up my hair, because with open hair one can lose them too easily. ........ there was a time when I lost quite a number of items a few years ago (not hairpins but pendants and necklaces (Tuareg pieces). Inspite of trying hard to get them again, I had no success. Someone must be happy with them. So I am perhaps over-anxious about losing any, that is my big problem. I wonder do people who wear their pieces a lot lose them too? It is strange, I never lost bracelets or cuffs. But pendants, necklaces and hairpins seem to be an object easily to lose (by me)
Lovely, Eva. Your collection is growing! Will be interested to see the additions over the next few months!
@Thanks Thelma! Hope to find some book on Ethiopian pieces ....
Me too (about the books). I can smell the rose from here. Another fantastic photo. Hope your "buyer" who goes to Ethiopian will bring back some more small treasures.....cant wait.
@Thank you Chantal, hope so too! Have found several books on Ethiopia, but not on Jewellery yet.
