love the ankle bracelet too...is there a story behind that as well?
puddlepuff says:
Was given to me by a very old lady in Tanzania as her last "jewls". A lot of African tribes collect these over the years for all kind of occations. Getting maried, having childern.
When they get to a sertain age they give them away, mostly to their doughters and sons. This was her last piece, and she gave it to me.
Have been wearing it since 1999, and proud to wear it.

that is something to treasure, lovely story and memories go with it......
puddlepuff says:
Indeed, and I do treasure it. Don't want to loose it and things.
puddlepuff says:
One of the things I'll never forgt and make life special.
As a potter,... Africa might be interesting.
Love the stories ..... some years ago I spent sometime working as a volunteer on an education project in Cambodia. I was given some lovely little gifts that I deem to be priceless (despite their having no real monetary value).

Real Men Wear Pink

There is something alluring about pink. Maybe that’s because psychologically it is known to have a calming effect. Or maybe it’s because pink is complimentary to most skin tones, unless you already have a lot of pink tone in your skin (like me). Or maybe it’s because a man who wears pink exudes confidence, yet is sensitive. It could be as simple as the fact that pink is easy to coordinate with almost every color in your wardrobe--it goes amazingly well with greys, tans, black, navys and other blues tones. And lastly, if you're still not convinced how great pink is, women love pink and are more likely to give you a second glance. So give pink a try if you haven’t already. I have outlined four ways you can incorporate this magical color into your wardrobe.
