I got this as a leaving gift...to myself, when I left Uganda. It was packed straight into the movers boxes and has been away getting framed...until I could afford to pick it up!
The bark cloth batik, by Ivan Yakuze, tells a little story about my time in Uganda and every time I look at it I find something else that I love.
I love the book shelves reminding me of the book club I used to be in (it looks like a wee person-don't you think?) and the safari truck-that was my first safari in Uganda, when I came over from Kuwait with Sven, Jane, Ange and Scott-we went everywhere...and I had my interview for my job that holiday. Actually- I think my favourite part is the cutlery-as I used to be in a cook club in Uganda-which, for the most part was a culinary disaster as the cooks always drank too much!Hehe!
What do you think?
I love it! I never buy stuff when I travel because then I just have to carry it around / move it, but I always think that maybe I should be, because there is so much cool authentic stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kyria. As I have gotten older I have bought more for my house...but yes, cost in moving is high. I hardly have anything from my 4 years in the middle east- but have things from holidays in other places. I must though, get more photos printed and frame those.
