If this saree was a room...

Wednesday, June 12, 2013

Okay I need to get outta my funk now... I'm annoying myself. So pretty Indian attire and gorgeous rooms should be a good starting point.
Ooh green & pink. A lovely pink and green saree spotted here works just as well as a colour combination in this room spotted on Elle Decor.

Fun right? Love this patterned lengha spotted here and think it pairs nicely with this fantastic bedroom featured on the Collected Blog.

Happy Birthday Dad.

Desi Art....theWisefolkworkshop

Tuesday, June 4, 2013

Totally stumbled on this fabulous linocut screen print art by Tisha Lee through her Etsy shop The Wise Folk Workshop. She created wonderful prints based on her travels to India so I find it delightful to see the hand pulled linocut printmaking featuring Indian people sitting on scooters Indian men ironing outside on their workstations and people bathing in the Indian Rivers. Her work looks so textural and such a great punch of colour with contrast. I'm totally digging it.

I adore this "Indian Man with Iron" screen print. Available here.

This "Family in India riding a scooter' totally makes me smile. It use to freak me out when I actually saw this on the streets..amazing. Available here.

Love this one too. Gosh I could have them all on my wall. Indian woman making Kolam available here.

Another fun one. Indian man riding bike available in Tisha's shop here.

Monday must have... a little Dignify

Monday, June 3, 2013

It's June. Whoa. For some reason it crept up on me. Well, its here and I plan to enjoy it fully. For me that is usually easy when I'm looking at fabulous design collections. Shelley Jones from Dignify contacted me a little while ago and introduced me to her beautiful kantha quilts. She sent me a mini sample of the fabric (which now my daughter uses as a doll blanket) and I was really impressed with the quality. Shelley curates beautiful objects from around the globe and her kantha quilts are just a smattering of what Dignify has to offer.  The Golden Silk kantha is a total must have for me today...
This is my absolute favourite. I need this silk quilt! Gorgeous Golden Silk Kantha throw is available here.
Another pretty throw. The Daisy Kantha throw is here at Dignify.

If this doesn't scream bright & sunny June, I don't know what does. Do yourself a favour and visit Shelley's shop Dignify and you'll totally be delighted by all her products.

oh if you haven't entered my Wildclove giveaway remember to do so!
