The descriptive notes are from the artistic Kenyan designer and creator .. Meggie Kagwi
This set of two is used to give beaded elegance to your curtains when they are tied back.
The design came about when I had finished decorating a client's house and felt that something was still missing --
something to tie all the colours I had used together. The idea worked like a charm, pleasing the client and resulting in many more orders from visitors to their house.
