Hope you had a good Father's Day.  Mine was very good.   Drove to my Dad's house,  spent nice quality time with my father, brother, cousin and god-brother.  Nothing is better than family. My outfit. A romper What is a "romper"? Checked online for a definition,  I found this weird one "a one piece garment that is an odd mix between a shirt and shorts, often worn by women" The definition fits.

T he Olive Tree has both a sentimental and religious significance. According to the Bible, it is believed that Jesus prayed underneath an Olive Tree in the Garden of Gethsemane after the Last Supper. This sacred tree is still in existence today. The Bible repeatedly refers to the Olive Tree as a symbol of peace, fertility, and prosperity. In the story of Noah's Ark, a branch from an Olive Tree was brought back to the Ark by Noah's Dove symbolizing peace. Also, on Palm Sunday, pilgrims carry Olive Wood branches commemorating the Lord's entry into Jerusalem. Thus, the Olive Tree became a dominant symbol of the Holy Land. From the Olive trees, you get this great striated wood. The rich color and interesting veins are characteristic of the beautiful Bethlehem Olive Wood. The natural swirl and contrast of the Olive Wood grain will draw your mind. After the olive tree is trimmed her branches are ke...

Once I found this great pendant, I had to know about it. Tribal Horn jewelry is quite common. Words to describe these pendants - organic and natural. I still did not understand what made a piece of jewelry organic. Well here is the answer.  "The dictionary defines the word organic to mean objects that are “of, relating to, or derived from living organisms”. Jewelry that fits under this term would include wood, bone, horn and ivory. This pendant is part of a horn and carved ito the shape of a tooth. It's very common to I am not sure if it's buffalo or carabao.  The tooth shape symbolizes for Nepal power and defence. If you want to learn the history of Horn jewelry this is a pretty interesting Bone and Horn Simple Adornments Since MY PEACE of jewelry isn'...
