Love the growth chart. I guess there are some things that are the same no matter the culture. 🙂

The sandals are very cool. It always seems that there is such a contrast between harshness and beauty in the Saudi culture.

I love the detailing of the china cup and the sandals. We had a growth chart on a door way in our kitchen in our home. Unfortunately we had to leave it behind when we moved.
