Tribal Monday...

It's Tribal Monday here at Nomadic Tara.  Today's collection is of some of my favourite jewellery plus a few snippets from around my home.  As I fluffed around arranging this collection of bits and bobs I did pause and consider where these treasures had been before they made their way into my little world.  Don't you love that about second hand tribal things?  They have always been loved by some other lady (or man!) with the same penchant as you, for vivid colours used in wild abandon (for I do admit, this lot is colourful!).

 Afghani pouch and necklace...

 Indian garnet and silver necklaces on an Indian spice box...

 Prayer beads from Tibet with a Moroccan bowl (a gift from a friend)...

 A special piece... a Tibetan necklace made with a Bhutanese coin, bought on my first ever trip to Tibet in 1998...

 Tibetan necklace with Afghani earrings, Indian spice box and Tibetan singing bowl...

 Shiva with Indian earrings and Tibetan pendant and prayer beads...

 Dancing Ganesh... (Mr Tara lugged this one home in his backpack from Mumbai)

 Children's hat from Thailand...

Wooden Ganesh...

There you have it - Tribal Monday.  After that lot I'm dreaming of far off lands.... once again.
