Fabulous Finds : Etsy Shopping From Around The World!

 Like so many other designers and bloggers, I too have a great weakness for vintage fabrics and textiles from all over the world. I love browsing Etsy for unique and unusual finds. This week I am bringing you a collection of home decor products and accessories with a tribal and bohemian flair. Here are my picks for this week with products from different parts of the globe!


 SiameseDreamDesign is a store specializing in hmong pillows and other accessories for the home and for you! Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, this store is a visual treat. I really like these striking purple hmong pillows. The second set of pillows are beautiful Naga tribal pillows in deep red with peach and brown! Visit the store to view their entire collection!


How can I resist these vintage Suzani hobo bags :) These are made out of vintage fabrics sourced from Uzbekistan. The store Jane Eastan is based here in the States. Each bag is one of a kind and the store has many designs to chose from! Happy browsing :)


AYLIDESIGNS is based in Turkey. These handmade ipad/tablet cases look so smart and functional. I love the bold kilim design. Makes quite a statement! Visit the store to know more the designs, prices and their shipping policies!

So do you have a favorite among the products featured here? I would love to know???

Anek Designs on Etsy

I am a cushion/ pillow hogger :) I absolutely adore cushion/pillows and simply cannot resist them. My cream couch in the living room is an ever changing canvas. I  try and change the pillows on them as often as I can. In my opinion, mixing up pillows in a myriad hues on a neutral backdrop can make a room come alive!

Kanika Bahl of Anek Designs is a gal who gets me :) Her designs seem to speak to me the instant she updates her store!! I have blogged about Anek Designs before on MDC. What can I say there is a connection :) I have bought stuff from her store before and plan to do so in the future!!

Stop by Anek Designs on Etsy and prepare to be tempted. Her new collection of Kantha bedspreads are gorgeous as well! Kanika ships international from India.

The Breakfast Nook

Every home has a corner that is used and abused :) What I mean by that is, that it gets the maximum traffic!! In my home my breakfast nook is the nerve center of all the activity! We eat here, my kids study here, they color here, they fight here, they spill and make a mess here :) I am forever cleaning this space and its extremely rare to find this spot tidy! 

This evening I cleaned it up a bit, sat down with a cup of tea and realized how different this place looks without papers strewn all over!! The light was perfect and I manged a moment of solitude in my crazy spot!!

What is that one corner in your house that is used and abused on a regular basis? I would love to know :)

Its been a late start to the week at my end after a nice long weekend. I am recharged and ready for an action packed week at My Dream Canvas! Have a great week!!
