My jetsetting friend Carolyn Anhalt travels to places most of us will never will, including the Middle East where she works part time. Recently, she’s been focusing her Instagram feed on the unusual (to Western eyes) things she sees. This photo of h ats of Kurdistan’s tribes was taken at the Kurdish Textile Museum in Erbil, Iran. [I have to admit this photo got me thinking…were hacky sacks inspired by these designs? :)]
