Simple pleasures

I like olive rice. I like it very much. If you haven't tried this, please do.
The olive is one of the plants most often cited in literature. The leafy branches of the olive tree - the olive leaf as a symbol of abundance, glory and peace - were used to crown the victors of friendly games and bloody wars. Olive oil has long been considered sacred; it was used to anoint kings and athletes in ancient Greece. It was burnt in the sacred lamps of temples as well as being the "eternal flame" of the original Olympic Games. Over the years, the olive has been the symbol of peace, wisdom, glory, fertility, power and pureness. The olive tree and olives are mentioned over 30 times in the Bible, in both the New and Old Testaments. It is one of the first plants mentioned in the Bible, and one of the most significant.

Dimensions : 37cm (L) x 5cm (W) x 31cm (H)
3.2cm (W) x 54cm (handles)
 Olive oxford cotton exterior paired with calico lining. Panel of 6 pockets on one side in addition to the waterbottle holder. Strap is medium weight webbing which I sewed over at least 5 times so this bag is sturdy enough to carry all those library books during DEAR season. It's also interfaced to protect any delicate items you may be carrying.
Have a blessed day!
