Alexandria- Egypt


I found this picture of Alexandria; and I would love to share it with you. This area of the city is very ancient- say from the time of Alexander the Great (he is the one who build the city, and alas, the name of the city came from it's founder!). Some say that Alexander the Great is buried in the city. A few years ago Cleopatra's palace site was found under water nearby. Enjoy!

Hello World!

Hiiiiiiii. My name is Samya. I am a civil engineer in New York. I also really enjoy sewing and I make some very special handbags. Now, I have two amazing daughters who are hyper-connected to technology and have encouraged me to start a blog about my handbags and other things I find beautiful. These are all my handbags that I have hand stitched myself with fabrics from my travels back to both England and the Middle East (my family and I like to travel!). I will model them on my wire mannequin. Her name is Marie and she loves pearls as much as I do! Again, I hope you enjoy this blog and everything that I will showcase.

Au revoir!
