If I ever wanted to go before, it is beyond a necessity now! Those shots just made my mouth water. What an amazing collection you have. I hope you did wonderfully at the show...I can't imagine people not promising their 1st (or last) child to you in order to obtain some of those treasures. Thanks for sharing & for sealing the deal for me that I must save my pennies so I can get there next year. I loved seeing my favorite Mauritanian silver beads, Agrab Al Fadda..particularly the one with the unworn spikes, in the Kiffa case! And the strand with the carved amber is unbelievably gorgeous! Ahh...you've made my day. Thank you! Lynne (P.S. Why is Bassem licking a bead?)
