how to pack and avoid wrinkles on your shirt!

happy ... we will be visiting Brisbane and Sydney by end of this month till mid of June.

new findings about Istanbul

Just had an interesting reading about Instanbul from the style files.

I haven't came across the Grand Bazaar in Instanbul. When looking at the photo published in the style files, I can't put my eyes off the photo of the crafts sold in the Grand Bazaar. The Grand Bazaar is one of the largest covered markets in the world with more than 58 streets and 4,000 shops. It is well known for its jewelry, pottery, spice, and carpet shops. The colors is so vibrant and the patterns and graphics are so intricate.

Gourd Art by Maia Waye

Just met a new friend on Etsy, Maia Waye. When first look at Maia's Gourd Art, I was really attracted by the color, drawing and the detailed pyrographed and stippled Gourd. A gourd is a hollow, dried shell of a fruit. It has been used in daily living of the Africans for decades. And, Maia has put it into a very unique artpiece.
