Treasure


A friend recently returned from Libya for a short US visit. She brought us this gorgeous trivet all the way from a market in Istanbul (a lot of bubble wrap was involved). I love this gift for several reasons:
1. Every time I use it I'll think of her.
2. She was thinking of us even while she was half a world away!
3. Objects that find their way into our homes from our travels make the world seem just a little bit smaller.
4. It's beautiful, and we can all use a little more beauty in our everyday lives.
