TOOK THIS PIC IN MOROCCO AFTER STUMBLING ON AN ANTIQUE SHOP IN THE MIDDLE OF SEVERAL WINDING STREETS. WE SPENT A LONG MINUTE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CARRY THE ENTIRE BOARD OF OLD KEYS HOME. 
TOOK THIS PIC AT THE SAME ANTIQUE STORE IN MOROCCO. MY FRIEND WHO HAS INSPIRED ME THE LAST FEW DAYS WOULD CALL THIS AN INSTALLATION. I TRIED TO MAKE IT BACK WITH ALL 8 AND ENDED UP WITH 3.

SECRET LIVES OF BEES

BLACK CAT RAW HONEY FROM NEW ENGLAND WILDFLOWERS. TRY AND SAY THAT 3 TIMES FAST. KEEPING IN THE TRADITION OF BEING INSPIRED BY MY NOMADIC FRIEND THIS WEEK(HER FAMILY USED TO RAISE BEES IN IDAHO,) I FOUND THIS TREASURE. AMAZINGLY INEXPENSIVE, THESE JARS(VERY COOL JARS, MIGHT I ADD) WITH RAW HONEY WOULD BE THE MOST UNIQUE GIFT AT THE PARTY. AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE HERE

YOU'LL GO DOWN IN HISTORY

A POUCH MADE OF 200 YEAR OLD SOFT  REINDEER LEATHER AND IT'S AN 18TH CENTURY DESIGN. IT REMINDS ME OF MY FRIEND WHOSE BROTHER CAME BACK FROM RUSSIA WITH BOOTS MADE OF REINDEER.  I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THE POUCH WILL LOOK LIKE ONCE THE LEATHER IS WORN.
