Tresors found from Portobello Road… My Hippy Lady Turquoise Marcasite Earrings:

Beautifullllllll teardrop shape turquoises, surrounded by shimmery marcasites… These earrings are a rare combination of bohemian vintage sophistication – I absolutely love them. And best of all, with them they carry a memory of Portobello Road, one of my favorite places.

And as always, turquoise makes me dream of faraway places.

By coincidence – or irony of life – as I was writing this a friend of mine just informed of her out of the blue desire and decision to climb to base camp  Mount Everest, after which she plans to make her way for a little visit to Tibet. Knowing the energy level of this lady, I’m rather convinced she’ll actually make it.

Now I’ve heard Tibet calling me throughout my life in so many ways, in so many places, that I just feel one day I’m going to make that journey as well – and this is not just the earrings talking. Twice, I’ve gotten so, so close… First, some 15 years ago when I spent time in Kathmandu – oh it would have been so easy… That time, my travel companion was not interested and I didn’t dare to leave him alone as he wasn’t too experienced with exotic places. Second time, during our world tour Serge and I raffled about it but he wasn’t too keen on Tibet… Grrrrrrrrr I let it go again.

Next time, when opportunity knocks, I’m not going to let it pass me by.

PS. Suski my dear, do you want a travel companion… Admittedly, one with drop dead altitude sickness.. But a bad-ass attitude to battle it. I did once hike my way to Machu Picchu, be it almost crawling, but still..
