A Taste of Africa

It's Monday all over again and behind us is another weekend. Remember that you have until May 1st to send your images for the Images Giveaway. In here all images are a good... your sunset images, dishes full of fresh strawberries, your ever-growing wall of killer shoes, fields of sun flowers in Tuscany, sailboats off the Rhode Island coast, etc.

For a few weeks I've been wanting to show you the latest accessories from Fournier so here they are. Anabel, the designer, lived for 2 years in Africa and was deeply influenced by the beautiful colors and prints of the native Masai. The new collection is made with Khanga, linen, and bone beads.
