Juju!

Almost forgot to show you what I received from Timothy O for my birthday!

A Juju Hat.

These spectacular headdresses are traditionally worn by the village chief in the Cameroon region of Africa for special tribal festivities. Rooster feathers are gathered and woven onto a raffia fibre base to display a beautiful oversized circle, which can also be folded up for easy transport - not that mine is going anywhere; I think it looks right at home in the living room!

I absolutely love it!

Thank you Louise at Table Tonic!.... and ofcourse Timothy O.

Moroccan Wedding Blankets

©Kara Rosenlund

One of my most absolute loves are Moroccan Wedding Blankets. I love everything about them; the tradition, the colour palette, the texture, everything!

This one proudly hangs in our hallway and is about 60 years old. I was SO completely OBSESSED by them that when Timothy O and I spent some time in Morocco everything seemed to revolve around getting my hands on a genuine wedding blanket - just like Prada, Gucci and LV there are many faux blankets out there - beware.

If a holiday to Morocco isn't on the cards any time soon then pop over to Table Tonic's online shop for a dose of Moroccan Wedding Blanket beauty!!

Louise at Table Tonic even recently mentioned me in her '9 Bookmark-Worthy Sites I (only) discovered' post.

- yippee!
