Omid varam ke hame khoob hastid! <br> <p> My name is Brian Hanson Appleton aka Rasool Aryadust. Had it not been for the revolution of '79, I would probably still be living in Iran today married to Fatti Moayeri, grand daughter of the late famous Prime Minister Amir Hassan Ashtiani Mowstowfi al Mamalek, who was Prime Minister 11 times under both the last Qajjar Ahmed Shah and Reza Shah Pahlavi ... but that's another story....

Hi Caroline, <br> Well, I have finally sat down to share. Allthough I have not travelled <br> to Iran, I have had and am still having an Iranian experience. <br> I am an American woman married to an Iranian man. We have been <br> married for 17 years. Until the day I met my husband, I had never met <br> an Iranian before. I usually don't see people according to their

I was twenty-one years old in 1985 when the chance came for me to go <br> to Iran. Everybody, especially my parents tried to discourage me. <br> &quot;Dad, it's going to be just like here!&quot; Poor dad. When I think back to <br> what I must have put him through. <br> In Tehran, I realized I wasn't &quot;in Kansas&quot; anymore. EVERYTHING was

Hi Caroline, <br> My interest in weaving began many years ago in Turkey. I fell in love with the kilims. I've since bought an Iranian Afsahr tribal rug and learnign about its symbolism inspired my novel Anahita's Woven Riddle. About fifiteen <br> years ago my family moved to a place where we had land enough to raise a few sheep. Plenty of locals were into spinning wool so I had mentors. I loved the earthy, muted colors of the natural dyes in the rugs and thought I'd

Hi Meghan, <br> I have been enjoying every minute going back to your <br> website(<a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.meghannuttallsayres.com">[link]</a>) and exploring all the interesting <br> things you've done, such as spinning your own yarns and dyeing them <br> with native plants! Are those sheep in the pictures yours? Wow. <br> Raising them is enough of a project in itself! How do you make time to

Hello Caroline, <br> I am happy to see your blog up and running. I was invited to Iran in <br> March 2005 to speak at their First International Children's Book <br> Festival. The invitation was extended to me through The House of <br> Translation For Children and Young Adult Books, and the Ministry of <br> Culture because I have published a novel set in Iran about a nomadic
