Mubarakiyya Basket Man

The basket man in Mubarakiyya has a new selection of baskets; unfortunately none are made in Kuwait. There are baskets from Pakistan, and some that look like they are from the Asir. Some are woven of recycled plastic bags!

  4. She is, 3baid. There are aspects of your culture that are opaque, and I am always curious! Fascinated!

    Kinano – I am delighted that you would think of your grand grandmother when you saw these. Call her and tell her so 🙂

    I love that place, too, Ansam, but it is getting a little hot!

  6. Kinan – We are told the kingdom of heaven is all around us, if we have the eyes to see, the ears to hear . . . so you have the dial code – just speak, and she will hear. 🙂
