Dahlia filled Morning.....

Good morning everyone!! All set for the weekend? I have woken up to a dull and grey morning but ........I have a remedy for that :-)  My dahlias add that much needed sparkle and cheer to my home!! Remember the house with a tiny farm near my house? The Dahlias come from there......aren't they pretty? The lady who owns the farm gave me an extra bunch for free!! She had a big smile on her face. Wasn't that sweet? She brightened my day with her kindness and generosity:-) 

Thanks again for all the comments and emails regarding the "Shop" at My Dream Canvas. I am shipping out a few packages this morning and its a lovely feeling:-)

Have a fabulous weekend and come back soon!!

The Shop at My Dream Canvas.....My picks

While I work on getting the online shop up and running, here is another look at my picks for "The Shop" at My Dream Canvas. With Diwali (the festival of lights) and Christmas coming up in a few months, these are lovely gifts for "you" or for someone else!

Each of these items are special to me and I am thrilled to share them with you..........


A pair of mother of pearl inlaid metal bowls......

One of my favorite pieces in the shop, I have one in my home as well. A large beautifully detailed white metal vase.

A set of 5 unique and handmade brass coasters. Please note that there are subtle differences in the design of each one of them.

A lovely Kalamkari silk wallet. Kalamkari refers to the Indian craft of painting natural dyes on cotton or silk fabric.

To know more about the items showcased above, please contact me at anuseattle@gmail.com. I will be happy to provide you with more detailed information regarding the prices and the shipping costs. Please note that I have  limited quantities available of each of these items. In some cases I have only one of each. I look forward to hearing from you..................

Welcome to Anitha's home...

A home with a heart and a profusion of flowers. I bring you Anitha's gorgeous home in Bangalore. I have admired her home for a long time and I am really happy to share it with all of you today. Anitha and I seem to share the same passion for flowers. The lovely floral arrangements all around her house gives the home such a warm and beautiful look. I would love to see more :-)

In Anitha's words. " I am a Software Architect by profession, and I live in Bangalore with my husband and my 6 year old daughter. Like any other working mom I try my best to balance work and family. I love to decorate my home just because I feel happy doing it. Its a kind of stress-buster for me to do little arrangements whenever I find time. Though not picture-perfect , I make sure that any time of the day the house looks neat."

Anitha, you seem to have certainly managed that and more. The home looks like a lovely haven for you and your family. Thank you for sharing your home with me and my readers.


Welcome to Anitha's home.............

 

Flowers everywhere you look.........
 

 

 

 

My absolute favorite........Anitha and her little one made this Ganesha with wheat flour during the Ganesha festival. Its so perfect......I am totally in awe!

I am back

I am back from a truly spectacular road trip to the Canadian Rockies. We drove nearly 2000 miles through the most amazing scenery I have ever seen. My two kids surprisingly took it rather well.... and we are back safe and sound :-) It feels great to be back home. The sun is shining as the new week dawns......what are your plans for this week? I have a lovely home tour coming up, tons of pictures from my trip and hopefully another peek at the products coming soon to "The Shop" at My Dream Canvas. Its going to be an exciting week.......I promise:-)
