A Week of Bilums
4:22 PM, Thursday, 1 June, 2006
I have to admit that I haven't yet taken any photos of my new jewellery and meri blouses, with or without me in them. But, when I do, I will have some exciting additions because this week I was given two lovely bilums from friends! I already have a very large bright purple one with PNG flags all over it, and this week I was given two more themed ones.
One is from my friend Monica (she always says to me on the phone or when she sees me 'Hi, it's me Monica, your friend from the highlands!' She's from Hagen), who seems to have mixed up where I come from - it has an American flag on it. But it doesn't have stars, and it's backward. Now this could be ironic or insulting, politically speaking, to give to an Australian (let alone what Americans would think about its accuracy!). I won't say which I'm feeling.
The other is from my friend Anthony - he is from Chimbu in the Highlands (yes he's a highlander but he doesn't sing the song! He also doesn't remind me every day about where he's from...) and his aunt made a lovely little highland-style bilum in shades of brown. I like that one a lot.
Photos pending!

Katia sent me over here via her blog. She was in the GISBE a couple years ago (there is a link on my site under "other blogs" - I am too lazy to bother repeating it here.) We blogging moms should stick together!! I LOVE the pink (heh! my site is all about the pink!)
