A Vintage Wedding Blanket From Morocco
Remember I said Maryam had been doing a little shopping in Morocco for me. It arrived this week. My beautiful vintage Moroccan Wedding Blanket.
It is covered in rows of sequins which sparkle in the light and jingle sweetly when I touch it. I think it will look beautiful by candlelight.
And hiding inside a little gift from Maryam - these beautiful soft sparkling slippers. Thank you Maryam.
UPDATE: Visit Yoli over at Musings to discover the background to these Moroccan Wedding Blankets.
How gorgeous! What a thoughtful present.

Wonderful. Your wedding blanket is so enchanting. I have just some spices from Morocco, even if I love them.

Oh, that's just fabulous! I hope it was a special purchase to celebrate your Very Special Leap Year Anniversary. You'll have very sweet dreams indeed when your bed is dressed up thus.
