Moroccan wedding blankets~a happy indulgence

A tinkly jingly spangled wedding blanket, vintage, from the Atlas Mountains.

Hand loomed wool~a heavy warmth that the Berber's created to keep warm on those cold desert nights.

~~Trillions~~ Lots of hand sewn sequins, that tinkle and make magical noise whenever the blanket is moved. A beautiful sound.

These blankets have special talismanic powers woven into the threads, to protect the bride and groom. I thought that was appropriate.

This particular one that sung to me has found it's home on our guest room bed, as a bedscarf.

And look, quite a Nick Bantock effect when you throw vintage postcards on top-Best regards, George 1914

George was in Pompeii, in 1914. I love that stuff.

If you would love one of these scrumptious blankets for yourself, or a loved one to give as a Holiday gift...then please visit Maryam at My Marrakesh, or email maryam@mtds.com for more information. I promise you this, it is more than an investment, it is a treasure.

Chaabana: When Moroccan women in the USA celebrate the eve of Ramadan according to the authentic customs of the country

Washington- Faithful to the customs and customs associated with Ramadan, the Moroccan women of America are careful every year to perpetuate the tradition of "chaabana", a festival that illustrates in the Moroccan cultural register the meaning of reunion, conviviality and psychic preparation for fasting in a festive and spiritual atmosphere worthy of this sacred month. This celebration, exclusively female, allows expatriates, especially those residing in the concentration basins of the Moroccan community (New York, Florida, Virginia, etc), to meet each other and relive the habits of preparation for Ramadan typical of Morocco native. For these women, who carry the motherland in their hearts, Chaabana is also a consolation in the face of the test of expatriation and nostalgia, especially since many immigrant families can not visit each year in Morocco to live religious events because of the high cost of travel.
