What a bargain

Whenever I clean out a cupboard and have some useful things I don't need anymore, I donate them to my local Red Cross Op [opportunity] Shop. They sell all sorts of clothing and household goods to raise money for Red cross work. Last week I saw a heavily embroidered Indian skirt with matching short sleeve jacket hanging near the door. It came home with me, for it was a bargain at $20!
Couched metal work, sequins and ikat silk- probably from Rajasthan- now all I need is an Indian wedding to attend.
This hand made beaded and tasselled Indian bracelet hangs on my design wall. I was going to use it in an art quilt but it never made it, yet, so is a little piece of Desert Coursers memory from the Little Rann of Kutch.
