MY BELATED BIRTHDAY PILLOW


 Every now and then  one receives a really special birthday present, albeit a teeny bit late.

This beautiful pillow was HAND-EMBROIDERED for me (except the bands on the top and bottom) by my soon-to-be 89 year-old Irish former colleague and India travel buddy, who's  lived in 'Yugoslavia' since 1958.  This woman is amazing in many, many respects, and this pillow is only a small proof.

Many thanks, Gillian.  I love it.

SUMMER FASHION, THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT

Two different takes on summer fashion. Me, I prefer loose, billowly cotton or linen dresses.
