African Treasures

During our trip to Johannesburg we visited several markets that were selling traditional hand-crafted items. Carrie went around finding the things she liked and then sent me behind to “bargain” for them. She doesn’t like that part.

The round thing is a painted ostrich egg. Next to it is a necklace Carrie liked that is made of what looks like to us little acorns strung together with beads.

Our favorite…and perhaps you can quickly tell why. This is carved from stone and represents our family, eternally linked together as one.
