One day in February 2011, i received a message from Mbak Aini in my Facebook's inbox, which asked me to choose one of her wonderful handmade accesories.. which made my eyes popped out and dropped my mouth! Those are beautiful!!! GOSH! i want all!!
What a bless...

So.. i couldn't decided.. ihhihi.. then she just chose it for me.
Then last week, i received a package from a postman...

WOOOWW!! she sent me two gifts.. this beautiful necklace, and also a wonderful "Savitri Bracelet" (will be another post for the bracelet later.. ;) not now.. hoho)

oo God.. I am blessed!! :D


It's Smokey Hill Tea!!
A local tea, from Turgo Hill.. a hilly area in Merapi Mountain. Mira told me that these tea leaves grow as bush fences in Turgo area. It has never been sold for a long time...
it's a special tea for the guest if you come to Turgo village.. only for their guests!
And because Turgo Village is foggy, so they choose to fry the tea leaves without oil to make it really dry. That's why it gets the smokey smell!!!


what a special tea!! :O
thank you, miy !!! ;)


oo... and look!!!
there were another talented ladies i met this afternoon at Lir !!!


you will see another post about these ladies on the "next few" LOCALOCK series!! :D
