LALITA HAND-STITCHED SCARF from Craft by World Market finally arrived !

Wild mustard is back this season and I couldn't resist bringing in a few sprays of these delicately clustered flower to brighten up my home. With a riot of colors carpeting the landscape outdoors, I'm tempted to recreate that effect indoors too! Colors make me happy and the simplest way to do that is to bring in a bunch of flowers and layer your decor with textiles..... 

Seen in the picture above is the "LALITA HAND-STITCHED SCARF" from the July 2014 Collection of "Craft by World Market". The scarf finally arrived a week back after a long-long wait. But the wait has been so worth it. I love that the scarf is light-weight and yet manages to keep me warm in the chilly spring weather. The icing on the cake is the beautiful hand embroidered detailing and the different shades of aubergine woven into the design palette. With such pretty colors on display, I did not have the heart to put it away inside the cupboard and have it draped on the couch like a throw!

As for behind the scene updates from the TECD casa, I'm upto my neck with work and other commitments. However, I cannot keep myself away from the blog and I've managed to get some work done on some wonderful posts for you'll.One of them being a studio tour of a talented jewelry designer from India! So keep a watch on this space and stay connected!

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Bringing Home Craft By World Market

You'll have been familiarized with the novel concept of "Craft By World Market" in my earlier post. I'm always on the look out for rare and one-of-a kind products, so as to make my home or my wardrobe as unique as me. With Craft offering a unique range of limited edition products, it's wonderful that I have access to global treasures just a click away. 

A week back, I placed my first pre-order with them for the Lalita Hand stitched scarf. The hand woven details, rich colors and the fact that it's made in India was reason enough for me to fall in love with this piece. I had my fingers crossed and hoped that this product would reach the target pre-order quantities, if not owning this product would only be a dream. But finally a mail popped up in my inbox and Voila !!! The order was confirmed.  It's a long wait (7 months), before this product can be brought to life. But for something so exquisite, I can wait. It will still be pretty nippy here  in Virginia when the package arrives, so I can put the Lalita scarf to good use as a stole or make it a part of my home decor by using it as a throw:) 

Some of the other products that are on my wish list are : 

 Raya Ceramic serving platter (still up for grabs)

The hand of Fatima door knocker ( Sold out. This is on my wish list when I visit Morocco)

Keep watching this space for more such wonderful finds........
