Detail of sequinned fringe and hand-woven fringed edge on a vintage Moroccan wedding blanket. This beauitful example of Moroccan traditional handiwork was found by Maryam of My Marrakesh and arrived in Paris this morning. If you're interested in adding a similar wool wedding blanket to your home decor, contact Maryam here. The sequinned-leather babouche were a gift from Maryam.
I have a weakness/love of things Moroccan. Thanks for sharing the photos of the wedding blanket. Would've be nice to have seen the whole blanket but the close ups are beautiful.

Tara, I've left a little something for you today at Sage and Thyme...your words roar as do your photographs which tell stories all of their own.
