A chronicle of our family's transition to an off-grid, more self-sufficient and eco-friendlier lifestyle, sharing, wherever possible, helpful links and ideas, in order to ease anyone else's journey along this path
"Self-sufficiency does not mean 'going back' to the acceptance of a lower standard of living. On the contrary, it is the striving for a higher standard of living, for food that is organically grown and good, for the good life in pleasant surroundings... and for the satisfaction that comes from doing difficult and intricate jobs well and successfully." John Seymour ~ Self Sufficiency 2003
It looks like a silk fan? I have serveral. My Aunt used to buy them for me as presents where ever they went on holidays. I have some beautiful ones from China and Japan. But my favourite as a child was one with a flamenco lady dancing on it. I always take one on holiday if it is a warm or hot country. i hope I am right else I will look very silly.
If that is a fan and not some sensual object, I'm jealous, they're almost impossible to find any more. I made myself on out of paper and it works great, but doesn't have the stylish snap of the real thing.
Thank you for taking the time to comment - it makes my day and removes the "loneliness' of sitting at my screen blogging supposedly to myself ;) I try and reply as quickly as possible so please forgive me if sometimes my response is delayed.
