“...Heroism at command, senseless brutality, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
Albert Einstein

Border and flower stems of the barrette were painted in liquid bronze, which is not going to fade with time. The barrette was covered with several layers of lacquer for shine and protection. Please note, that this barrette like most of the barrettes sold by UzbekAlive has 3 levels of metal clip adjustment. Our barrettes can be worn by ladies with both thin and thick hair due to this adjustment feature.
I was envious of the pillows in all the interior decorating magazines, and was disappointed to see that they were available through designers only. Imagine my joy when I found your website! I am sewing my own pillows out of the fabrics I received from you. I just finished new pillows for the bedroom and now will start on the living room. P.S. Also, your packaging is very "old world", please do not change it! I felt connected to a place in a different world when opening your package.
[Nilufar's response on July 7, 2008:] Irene, I lost a count of a number of postal officials I spoke to in efforts to use my own packaging. Alas, it is a government regulation in Uzbekistan that postal service packs all orders in the “old world“ fashion. Luckily, you are not the only one who loves the packaging not to mention that it is very “green“.
