Stunning Shawl:
1.Stunning shawl

Hi friends,
Many times we saw some beautiful items and we wished that we should make it. Same thing happened about this shawl. I saw it in exhibition, I liked it so much that I purchased one pear coloured for my daughter. I thought that I should do it before giving it to her.  But at that time life ran on such a fast track  that I could not do it till I gifted it to her.  But then after two years when I went to USA, I decided to try it and it worked out.
See how stunning it looks when wore on a matching saree.
