The Nigerian Ottoman



The Great BeezieWeezie works for an organization that is trying to alleviate hunger in Africa. Many Africans are aware of the project -- apparently a Governor of one of the provinces of Nigeria is too. He graciously donated a beautifully appliqued Nigerian leather ottoman to the project's New York office, where Beezie works. But the New York office already had several beautifully appliqued Nigerian leather ottomans, so the staff got to choose a few for themselves. Beezie got this one and immediately gave it to her parents.

The Great Ducknik stuffed it full of newspapers and foam and now it sits in front of the fireplace, next to the Christmas tree. Thank you, Honorable Mr. Ambassador, and may hunger disappear from your door and from all your people.

Sorry about the pix. Blogger must be clogged with baby pictures. Have a great time with Bronnie and Baby Isabella and everyone else! Sending much love from NYC,
