A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS

I had to be quite ruthless when it came to choosing which curios I would bring over to Abu Dhabi. I have a beautiful hand carved Malawian 'chief' chair in solid teak & I would have loved to brought it here, but it weighs in at 25kg, so sadly it's gone into storage. My friend Laura - from my days in Kenya - gave me a stunning Kisii stone carving, but alas, at 23kg it also had to go into storage. *sigh*

After much deliberation, I decided to bring our favourite paintings & smaller curios. This wall hanging is from the Transkei in South Africa.

Made from one piece of wood, this zebra bowl is from Kisumu in Kenya.

This is what I look like, first thing in the morning....scary innit?

Now, if I can figure out how to get more photos on an entry without bashing the living daylights out of my laptop, I will! And, as soon as I can figure out how to take some nice photos of the paintings without great big white blotches of where the flash has gone off, I will!
