Festive Countdown and Shopping Finds : Indianroots.com

I promised you a colorful countdown to the festival season on My Dream Canvas and here is the first of many festive themed posts :) Indianroots.comv is an NDTV venture which has recently caught my eye. To quote from their website " Indianroots delivers heritage and style like never before, we are a selectively curated marketplace where global Indians can come together to shop, share and fall in love with the best ethnic products our country has to offer "

I miss India terribly during the festive season. Diwali is my absolute favorite time of the year to be in Delhi. I shall unfortunately be missing it by a few weeks this year. I have a trip planned in November and I can hardly wait! 

Here's a glimpse into the collection at Indianroots. I have picked out a few items from the store that I believe would be the perfect addition to any festive decor. Have fun browsing their entire collection. I sure did :)

Design Decor and Disha

I am completely in awe of people who can draw, paint and are good at DIY's. Today I am happy to introduce you to one of my readers Disha. She is also a fellow blogger and blogs at Design Decor and Disha. She is a big DIY enthusiast and loves recycling. She sent me pictures of some of her projects. Disha painted this beautiful earthen pot for her home. She calls it her "Pot of Happiness" (I love the name).

Here she has painted a tray using natural dyes. Click here to visit Disha's blog to learn more about her and her artwork!
