Kantha Throws

My Kantha Throw arrived today. I already have one in my living room and love it so much that I ordered another for the family room. The mustard color goes with our sofa and I love the deep reddish-pink color! Do you have a Kantha throw?

A Home in Goa

Vacationing in India for a month was an adventure to say the least. We visited many family homes in different states with different cultures and the homes were all decorated with traditional Indian items like paintings and colorful fabrics.  This home is located in Goa, India and is available for rent. Casa Tota is a 150 year old Portuguese house, carefully and lovingly restored. I decided to share this home, because it has all the elements of homes I visited there.  The canopy beds are quite common and the urns for fresh flowers is just gorgeous!  Interiors in India is known for it’s rich use of color and beautiful wood carved furniture passed down from generations. I just love how they used old Bollywood movie posters as art – I couldn’t find it in India this time around, but I’m sure I can find similar posters on line. Have a great Holiday weekend- enjoy it with your loved ones. -ijin

new doggy bed

my goal for Christmas was to sew Stella a new doggy bed. i am a bit late but got it done this afternoon.

our featherbed ripped and i was about to throw it out, but decided to stuff Stella’s new bed with the goose feathers! (it is so comfy that my 2 year old likes to lay on it!) i sewed the bed shut and hope to make a few doggy bed DUVETS that will go over the bed so i can change out and wash every week.

Anthropologie fall bedding

have you seen the pretty new bedding at Anthropologie? i love all the BOLD colors and quilt work. in the catalogue they mix and match different prints and it looks amazing! i would never have thought to do that. as much as i love the colorful quilts and duvets, i like to stick with white on our bed. i have my eye on the Cirrus Bedding in white.
