The Loaded Trunk

                  Roni Jaco is the proprietor of the wonderful global store The Loaded Trunk, which displays many cultural goodies from, well, all over the globe. Roni seems to be an intrepid traveler and lover of traditional ethnic arts which goes a very long way in my books. She has on offer gorgeous quilts from India, Turkish tinned copper, Balinese baskets and suzanis from Uzbekistan, to name just a few.Visit her shop here.

Fancy Ethnic Dress

.
In keeping with the global theme this morning I thought I'd present a potpourri of colorful ethnic dress from across the planet.There is no lack of inspiration in these ornate and fanciful costumes.Represented are costumes from Greece, Bali, Greenland, Thailand, Peru and Japan to name a few.Such incredible diversity....what a great world we live in, no?
Have a great weekend all and see you next week!
