It was a business trip, so I didn&#39;t hafta worry about my bags...<br /><br />@Kaotic - technically I gave him as a gift to S!Violet Dearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08807873917327445130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580690295857485095.post-47173310940245956032010-01-14T13:47:31.921-08:002010-01-14T13:47:31.921-08:00You have nice knick knacks ! Although I didn&#39;t like the one of Gandhi.. Indian culture is very much different from American and I think you have visited India and hence would know it..Dolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03969174980149423701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580690295857485095.post-60829327145350181152010-01-14T09:23:59.752-08:002010-01-14T09:23:59.752-08:00Such a lovely collection! Can&#39;t wait to see part II.<br /><br />I am not a knick-knack person at all, but I love people that are because I can find endless hours of entertainment in examining other peoples&#39; stuff. So thanks for being entertaining :)Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02124667179873135968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580690295857485095.post-10472534482650640462010-01-14T05:31:01.162-08:002010-01-14T05:31:01.162-08:00Oh, never mind.

It had be thinking of The Arabian Nights and flying carpets, which in my demented brain obviously translates into &quot;Tales from Afar&quot;! <br /><br />The story goes that Laughing Buddha&#39;s are symbols of good luck when gifted to someone. Well, that&#39;s what I&#39;ve been told.<br /><br />I like the work on that prayer wheel. I picked one up from the North East of India, but the work on yours is so much better. Be warned, I am eyeing it from a distance!;-) <br /><br />As for those owls...love their cuteness. :-)Kaotichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00745798338301715684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580690295857485095.post-24988934863750096692010-01-14T01:10:55.963-08:002010-01-14T01:10:55.963-08:00I&#39;m totally jealous of all this stuff, I particularly love the prayer wheel.<br /><br />Did you buy these things and then send them home? Or did you carry them around with you? I&#39;m guessing carrying that Buddha around would have driven you slightly mental!Sproglethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08566657652563198357noreply@blogger.com
