Here are the last of my pictures I wanted to share and then I will get back to my recipes. Some more items from Somalia such as Uunsi burners and uunsi, which is a like a block of perfume that is burned and releases scent. It is used in the house as an airfreshener but also used as a perfume and clothes are put over the burner and the steam goes onto the clothes. This is usually made my Somali women so each one smells and looks a little different.
Saudi sitting, which is a couch often used by Somalis. They are very comfortable, I love mine. They come with matching stands and sometime even matching curtains and rugs.

ReplyDeleteMashaAllah your pictures are great. Do you know how the make uunsi yourself? It smell sooooo good. I love it so much.
