      We love antiquities and Egypt, and we’re pretty aware of the issue of art and antiquities trafficking. This would be fascinating!

      With two scarves, I’d use the other to make up an Egyptian themed basket for the library raffle. It would be fun to find Egyptian themed books, candy, tea, mug and who knows what else.

      I did comment under the name Granmama15 on another Blog comment site. I have 15 grandkids and 2 great grandkids. Whether they look at the illustrations or read the book or do both, I want them to read books and go to another country or world with their imagination and mind! Knowledge is power! They will have to read things for the rest of their lives!
