Happy Second Birthday TECD!

Happy Second Birthday TECD! Yes, it’s been two whole years since I first started this blog! Seriously someone tell me,where does time fly?
But I must say that my blog, “The East Coast Desi” has come to be more than my creative springboard. It has been the most liberating experience for my artistic soul. The emotion of creating something gives me a high and all aspects of blogging lead to this very road! Styling, writing, photographing, sharing, meeting and interacting with like-minded, inspirational and creative folks and making special bonds with some of them, has been the most nourishing experience to say the least. But the highlight has to be my wonderful set of readers who reinforce, inspire and encourage me to put my creative best forward. Thank you fabulous people, for all the love and reassurance. Truly without YOU, TECD would not be what it is! 

I thought I'd make this wonderful milestone even more memorable by sharing some very exciting news with you’ll. My family and I recently took the big decision to move into another home. It is a very demanding decision that requires my undivided time and energy and that would explain my mini-hiatus from the blogging scene......The new home is being built from scratch which means we've been busy going through numerous design plans and trying to make sense of the fragmented pieces to complete the giant design jigsaw puzzle. It is not an easy task but it has been an exhilarating one. The actual move will be taking place later this year but until then we have our hands full preparing for the move and the new home. However, the most wonderful outcome of this decision of ours is that we get to design and decorate our dream home! We as a family are truly excited and I would love for you to join us on our design journey.



With that, I bid you adieu for now......Since summer is here and I am enjoying it while it lasts, expect the posts to trickle in from time to time but rest assured, I’m here to stay in the blogosphere! 

You take care and enjoy the rest of your week!

    1. Hello Pravi, thank you! Pravi you could try your local arts and crafts fair. You should get lucky. I found a pair at Chitra Kala Parishat in Bangalore and the other was made to order with a professional wood carver. Happy decorating!

    1. Hello Nithya, Thank you for the wonderful feedback:) Coming to your question : the brass idols - the antiques- I inherited from my family and some of the other newer idols, we found on our various trips in India and Nepal. As for the wooden peacocks, they were made to order with a professional wood carver. But a good bet would be to try at the local arts and crafts exhibitions. Hope that helps.
