Now is June, so it was dry season...

DeleteTanti,
ReplyDeleteToday is the first day of summer here, and what a treat to see your beautiful summer jewelry! The coral beads and pink lampwork is lovely. Your stainless steel wire work is very elegant, perfectly done. The necklace and bracelet are beautiful, Tanti!
I am delighted to get to see Indonesia too! Mailing a package to you last year (I think it was during the low season, right? :), I tried to imagine where you lived and what it was like. Now, I see your beautiful home! Thank you for sharing photos. The rice fields and harvest are so new to me. Very neat to see! And the fruit you have is amazing. I have never seen rambutan, matoa, soursop, lemon and longan fruit -- only mango and dragon fruit.
Seeing your home in the summertime is a gift. Seeing your beautiful jewelry is also a gift. I'm so glad we are friends, dear Tanti! Your blog is lovely, your jewelry is lovely, and so are you.
Love,
Rita
