Yesterday our friend Nancy said she was feeling a little homesick so we went to T.G.I.Friday's for burgers and fries. After our American dinner we went to the Iranian Souqs to look at fabrics. It was a seamstresses dream...shop after shop with shelves stacked to the ceiling with a rainbow of materials. I wish I sewed. Nancy is getting fabric to have a mother-of-the bride dress tailored for her son's wedding. We never did find the Bombay Silk shop she wanted so we went to an Indian store that sold carpets from India, Pakistan, and Iran. The shop owner was so interesting telling us about the tribes that made each carpet and the meanings of the various symbols. Nancy bought a carpet for her son's wedding gift. The shop owner gave us each a beautifully painted little box as a thankyou. I'll have to take Gary there. The shop also carried beautiful carved boxes and Silk and Pashmina shawls.
