The Wine Burqa

Just what I always needed for my wine bottles. A Wine Burqa!

No, I didn’t pick up this ironic and quirky item at Cost Plus World Market. My sister works in Afghanistan and she sent me this gift.

I’ve never seen something quite so funny and sad at the same time.

Although I didn’t actually need a Wine Burqa, I’m glad my sister sent this to me.  By doing so, she brought a wonderful organization to my attention. The label says “Hand Made/Embroidered by Afghan Women” and the proceeds go to the Women of Hope Project.  The items created and sold by Afghan women help them support their families and educate their children.
