I’m back home in New York for a short visit. My god daughters (& their folks) drove down to spend the weekend & catch up. Previously, I’ve sent them goodies that I collected for them on my travels…but this is the first time I was with them when they got their gifts and I got to see their faces. And they couldn’t have been more gracious, creative, funny and adorable.

A, almost 2 years old & full of character, determining the best use for a purse: pope’s hat.
M, sporting a chikan (hand stitching) dress from Lucknow, but working various scraves to style her desired look.
A is rocking her Bangladeshi outfit, with the pope’s hat.
