Birthday Wrapping
As a Libran, I am grateful to all my friends who have made time to remember my birthday (which I would prefer to forget)….Thank you, Julianne.
This stole is a beautifully crafted shawl made in Afghanistan by a widow. The project Afghan Hands aids them in supporting themselves and educating them to read:
Afghan Hands teaches skills to help Afghan widows gain independence, literacy, and a livable wages. At our centers in and around Kabul, women learn to create embroidered shawls and scarves, and the exquisite embroidery they make connects them to a wider world…Afghan women, by their own hands, are transforming their lives.
Truly a lovely gift that keeps on giving—please take a moment to check out AFGHAN HANDS! 212-786-3309

What a thoughtful gift. You seem like a girl’s girl with lots of good friends and a warm nature. Happy belated birthday from a dedicated reader. Lee
Wonderful gift. You can see how pretty the embroidery is. I think the “teach them how to fish” projects are always the best. I’ll be sending this link on to my friends. Remind us again come Xmas time, yumyum!
