Oh, shopping in Egypt....What to buy? (She says, wringing hands.) What ever to buy?
Here's what I came home with....
Three petite Egyptian blown glass vases. Just one white stem in each, please.
One large antique vessel with Arabic writing, hand incised.
Some yards of Egyptian cotton textiles, hand block printed in a traditional pattern. For bolsters in outdoor pavilions ....
Hand-blown glass balls in pale green and amethyst with glass loops for tying or attaching.
A selection of heavy hand-carved natural stone soap dishes. So lovely for Peacock Pavilions.
A vintage suzani. My obsession for embroidered ethnic textiles continues...
Lustrous Egyptian alabaster bowls.
A large hand hammered bowl for display or for salad...
Part of an antique light fixture. I am going to have it rewired for Peacock Pavilions.
Many hand blown glass bowls to serve vanilla ice cream in...
A suzani bag for when I am feeling my most bohemian.
P.S. I am launching the Peacock Pavilions Shop online.......A curated collection of lovely things. Soon, soon, very soon. ... What do you think?
