CAN YOU GUESS??? #141 ~ CORRECT ANSWER


I'm very pleased to congratulate
the two ex-aequo winners

who guessed very correctly... A heart!!!

Lynne and Mitch, please accept the little tokens of my appreciation. Lynne, perhaps you have no idea what that heart-shaped accessory is for: women in the north of Portugal, whenever they wear a folk costume, they always wear this separate pocket: it's always embroidered in the shape of a heart. While it's an accessory it has a practical purpose such as carrying keys, a wallet, a handkerchief, etc. This has become a common souvenir which foreign tourists often take from Portugal.
 I presume the bookend will have some use at Mitch's.



















NEXT ROUND: Sunday/Monday, June 29/June 30, respectively

~~ Thanks all who took part in the FUN ~~

~~ Have a great rest of the week ~~

    1. Those little pockets are always richly embroidered, unless they are used on daily life. In thie case, they are more simple and commonly worn by market sellers.
      Pleased to know you like it!
