Fancy Ethiopian Jewelry
November 10, 2009I was going through my pictures today and came across a treasure from our Ethiopia trip that I realized I hadn’t shared with you.
One day we went to the National Ethiopia Museum with the kids and our guide. The two-story building housed everything from the bones of “Lucy”, to thrones of past Ethiopian rulers.
In one display case I found this and nearly died laughing…but tried not to look like it lest I disrespect the Ethiopians 
It’s kind of hard to see because I was shooting through the glass with no flash – but that, my friends, is a necklace of safety pins! Yes, safety pins – nearly 100 of them. There was a picture of a tribal looking Ethiopian wearing such a necklace included in the display but apparently I didn’t get a picture of that.
That is some fancy jewelry!
That is hilarious! I wonder at what point that was a popular piece of jewelry there? I mean, every woman should own these!
So you quit your job but haven’t had time to update your blog? You act like you’re busy or something
) You should definitely post some stuff about the whole gluten free thing. Did you take pics of the stuff you and Tracy made?
