My daughter Jordana is wearing an antique Palestinian hat, hand-stitched and covered with coins. A similar design is in a museum at the Amman Amphitheatre, Amman, Jordan.
Jordana wearing an old Bedouin silver necklace, Amman, Jordan. Check back later for more images from Jordan.

Dear Tara,
These photos of Jordan on all of these 'pages' are amazing.
I too have a penchant for Vanessa Valencia's out of this world creations. (I own one of her collages and a scrumptious cupcake doll.) As the photo of your daughter popped up I felt like I was looking at myself when I was seventeen, except my hair was jet black. It actually startled me when I saw the resemblance. She is very beautiful. I love your blog. I had a dream that two angels were flying with me to Jerusalem after I had 'died' and I told them I wasn't finished with my life here on earth that I had others to bring to Christ. Then I woke up. Please feel free to edit this...it is kind of just for you.
Blessings!
