Hairpins Ethiopia

Posted by Eva Baby on July 10, 2014 at 9:30am

Have no new additions at the Moment to Show, these are my present 28 Ethiopian-Eritrean hairpins..... (yes, i am still here, I had no Internet for a while, am back now with a new technical device).... looking forward to see, admire, read and comment again). Had to go somewhere else and use another Internet, which was quite complicated). Internet Cafés are great, but for Virus reasons, they have no device to connect to sticks and other external files. Thanks Ingrid and Betty for helping me to enlarge my collection. Hope to find treasures again on Ebay or Etsy soon..

Impressive collection. A way of keeping on a permanent display is to have a cup (or container) with a ball of wool in it and than you can stick in the pins with the dangles hanging nicely down. As you have so many you may need two. Congratulations.

Wonderful display.

@Thanks ingrid, I might try this! Probably better than keeping them in a box....... (as I do now).

I really missed the Internet,. As written, Internet Cafés are a help, but have no Connections to external files (like CDs, sticks, external boxes etc to bring ones Pictures and upload them). The rare photos that I uploaded were done on someone elses Computer.

Chantal: thank you, nice to see you are still around! Missed you too.

It's great to have you back, Eva!

The pins are looking fantastic against the blue cloths. Ingrid is right, this has become a very impressive collection and should be displayed so that you can look at them every day.

Thanks Betty, I will try it out (the other Display) but not today. If only it would not be raining so much! I want to go to the Zoo for 1-2 hours to take photos of my Darlings (the twin snow Leopard babies), but it is pouring pouring pouring rain..........

P.S. Of course, Quality goes over quantity, but my Goal is to have 30 pieces......... The stars among them (for me) are these above.
