Yes, it's a huge bronze buffalo! Proof that you can find anything at the Bangkok Weekend Market. 28 acres, 10,000 booths... needless to say I hardly made a dent. But the innovative arts and crafts blew me away. We're going back on Sunday.
I happened to mention to Nuen, our favorite deskclerk that I loved desserts. This evening he arrived at our door with a delicious concoction along with 2 bowls and spoons. It's made of coconut milk, sugar, taro and some kind of marble size jello like things (kinda gray colored) It looked awful but tasted delicious. My favorite part was his thoughtfulness.
This is my empty plate! We ate at the most amazing Indian resturant tonight, Rang-Mahal. Not only was the food heavenly but was located on the 26th floor of the Rembrandt Hotel surrounded by a sea of highrises so the view was awesome too.
I bought these from a very sweet girl in the market. Woven cuff bracelets with colored gemstones. I also bought them with turquoise and coral (not shown). $35 I haven't shipped them yet, but call Sue toll free 877-435-6444 to reserve yours.

Ten years ago my husband and I traveled to Vietnam for a vacation. I met some of the women trying to do business there and decided to try to help them via the Grameen Bank micro loan program. For the past ten years I've donated money and as well as employing women in Hanoi to make pearl jewelry for my customers.
Since then I've traveled to Laos, Cambodia, England, France, Turkey, Nepal,Thailand,Mexico and Greece to buy exotic one-of-a-kind jewelry.
Annually I return to Turkey and Thailand to buy gemstone jewelry.
I recently began designing my own line of jewelry using unusual gemstones to fashion beautifully designed pieces.
At 63 I have found my passion and the Universe just keeps giving me more blessings.
Three years ago, after setting up booths at women's fundraisers for six years, I opened a jewlery store in Coronado, California. And though I sell much more than pearls, the name d Forsythe Pearls remains!
