The Mountains Beckon

 Good Morning All! Its a new week and an exciting one at My Dream Canvas. I am sharing a quote I recently read, " Travelling is something that leaves you speechless and turns you into a storyteller."

Fall has come to my neck of the woods. Sunday was a picture perfect Autumn day and we drove up into the mountains. We reached in the afternoon and the sun was shining on the mountainside. The light made everything look magical as it shone on the huckleberries. The crimson hues against the  backdrop of the evergreen trees made it all so dramatic!

These quick trips away from the realities of everyday life always recharges me! 

I am thrilled with the response to the Festive Collection at my online store. I am also working on an "MDC Antique Bazaar" and will share the details with you shortly. I can promise that it will be interesting and exciting!!

Have a good week and keep on smiling :)

Welcoming Fall With A Tour Of An Indian Home in Cornwall

It has been a while since I featured a home on My Dream Canvas. My favorite part about blogging is showcasing homes from around the world:) It is such a privilege to peek inside a gorgeous home. Today, we are travelling to Cornwall, in England to visit the home of a fellow blogger Sia Krishna. 

Take it away Sia.....
 " I was born and brought up in a beautiful small town close to the coastal city of Mangalore in Southern India. A town famous for its virgin beaches, red tiled houses and gentle backwaters. I hold degrees in engineering and management. However, my true passion is writing, photography, making and churning memories of food which are showcased in my food blog Monsoon Spice!
 I currently live in a picturesque seaside town in Cornwall in Britain with my husband and a 5 year old son. My son takes away most of my time, energy and heart:) Little over 4 months ago, we moved to our current home in Cornwall after a year long stint in India. When it comes to home décor, I don’t follow any particular theme. I stick to a simple and warm décor with a splashes of colors characteristic to Indian homes. Our home is eclectic, with art and knick knacks collected over years through travels rubbing shoulders with my love for ethnic artefact's and antique family heirlooms".

Here are a few vignettes from Sia's home! Traditional and elegant are the words that come to my mind as I feast my eyes on these images. Looking at the corners of her home makes me greedy for more! Someday, I shall ask Sia for a complete home tour of her pretty nest:) What do you think? Please leave your comments here for Sia to read and to respond!

Thanks Sia for sharing your home with the readers of My Dream Canvas. Its been an absolute pleasure:)

Sia is a food blogger and her blog is a visual delight. Do bookmark Monsoon Spice for her fabulous recipes and awesome photography!
