My sister sends the coolest gifts from around the world
Since I don't technically celebrate Christmas, I have no guilt about opening gifts early. My sister travels all over the world in her job and she always sends the neatest stuff. I've gotten jewellry and crafts from lots of different countries from her and this year is no exception. She sent me a very pretty leather purse from Columbia, a handmade, hand-embroidered bag from Afghanistan (she likes to buy from local people and refugee groups which is where this came from) and an antique brass pot - like a teapot - and tray from Pakistan. These last are really neat - they look handmade and are engraved with intricate designs. The pot has animals engraved all around it - elephants and what looks like hunting dogs and maybe tigers (?). It's really beautiful. The tray has delicate designs and flowers engraved on it. I have to find a good place to display them - I need a bigger house!
