Friday Musings and Some Tea !

Friday is here and my weekend looks quiet for a change :) I have some projects at home that I need to tackle. As I sit and enjoy my cup of peppermint tea ...........I am here to invite you to join me as well :)

Have you tried peppermint tea? I really like it. It can be very soothing. I can't believe it is almost August. The year seems to be whizzing past. It will soon be Fall and I will have to wait almost another year to sit in my backyard :)

Have a beautiful weekend and remember to have fun!!!

The 50 dollar gift card from HomeGoods is waiting for you:) So remember to enter my Giveaway!!

The Color Caravan Online Sale

Hello my lovely readers. Today, I am here to share something that you simply cannot miss :) An online sale by The Color Caravan based in India.  This is a venture that links rural Indian artisans to the urban market. It presents traditional handicrafts in a contemporary style and markets them to urban buyers. Their aim is to create livelihood opportunities for artisans and in turn preserve traditional Indian crafts.
The founder of  The Color Caravan is the lovely Swati Seth. Her dedication and vision is what gives Color Caravan the edge in the market. I am personally a huge fan :)
Now for some exciting news. The online exhibition cum sale is now online on Color Caravan's Facebook page. The exhibition presents leather work from Kutch in Gujarat (India).

Here is some information about the people behind this collection.
"The Marwadi Meghwals, a community believed to have migrated to Kutch from the Marwar region of Rajasthan, are famous for their leather work and unusually bold patchwork. In Kutch they work both as leather workers and wool weavers, living and working closely with Maldhari cattle herders from whom they source hides of dead animals.The men make leather products while women embellish these objects with embroidery executed with multi-coloured threads."

Click here to visit the The Color Caravan and to browse the entire collection on sale starting today :) The buying instructions are mentioned in the album featured on their Facebook page. The Color Caravan will ship internationally as well :)

Thank you Swati :)
