welcome to the village

J’adore some of the fabric they have here. I had this skirt made by the tailor, I gave him a boden skirt to copy. I should have told him to match the pattern on the side seams, I will next time. He already rolls his eyes when he sees me coming, I’m sure. Yesterday I went to Wadata, the art market to pick up a carved calabash gift Peter wants to give a co-worker. Wadata is a store of sorts, kind of a collective, smelling of leather work and selling jewelry and batiks. I bought this belt. It’s the most bohemian Helen-esque (Peter’s sister) thing I’ve ever seen, and I have to go back and get another one for her, don’t you think?

    Perfect for Helen. Like your skirt. Looks like you are keeping your weight down. last month at weight in at Curves I had lost 3 lbs and I am still working at it.

    Helen will love the belt! May it remind her of the Haight-Ashbury!
