#5 & #7 This one is a special saree, a gift from a dear friend, Sampada. Its Malabar silk, wonderful drape and light feeling silk. I absolutely love the colors the mauve and blue both my favs. So the story of this wonderful saree, I visited my friend last year during thanksgiving. We always, almost like an unsaid tradition gift each other everytime we meet so this time I had a beautiful embroided bag for her that I had picked in India and she gifted me the saree. When we opened our gift guess what I had gifted her a blue bag and she gifted me the same blue colored saree! I guess thats what best friends are, same color choices for each other. Both of us laughed at it and everytime I wear the saree I smile at this serendipity. choices……
