Sesame and Lilies at Cannon Beach

I spent this weekend with my family at Cannon Beach, Oregon. It was a fabulous road trip. A post will be up soon about the vacation :) However, I was keen to share the images of this gorgeous store called Sesame and Lilies.  The store had a unique collection of things beautifully laid out in a series of little rooms. Unfortunately, I was in a bit of a rush so I have very few pictures to share. I apologise for the quality of the images as they are from my phone and the light was not good.

These pretty and dramatic chandeliers stole my heart. I also liked the turquoise cushions with the beige ruffles :)  There was so much to drool over and admire. The store also had a large collection of vintage posters and maps.......something that I have a weakness for :)

My family, the ocean.......the mountains and some wonderful window shopping..........it was a good weekend :)

You can visit the store here!

A Pretty Kitchen

It is that time again.........the beginning of a new week :) I always like to start off the week with pretty things and pretty places :) We begin today with a  a lovely kitchen. It is a bright and beautiful kitchen with cute little knick-knacks......just the kind of space that I love! This kitchen has so much character and warmth. It shows that the person who cooks here must love her job! I too spend a lot of time in my kitchen. Not that I am a gourmet cook or anything :)

However, I think my kitchen is a big part of my everyday life  and it is certainly an important part of my home!! Lately, I have been admiring the kitchen cabinets from RONA!! Dreaming of a kitchen makeover :)

What about you.......are you a kitchen person? Have a beautiful week ahead.

Good Earth Meets Home Goods

Good Earth is a lovely store in Delhi, India and every trip of mine I visit them to drool over the fabulous things they have the home. This is an expensive store so I don't buy much from there but that does not stop me from admiring their collection. Last year as a gift from my brother I did go there to do some shopping. I bought these pretty purple cushions for my living room and a few other things. I always felt that my couch needed something more and yesterday I found it  at my local Home Goods!! Yipee:)

So the large cushion that you have seen before is from Good Earth and the round long one is from Home Goods Global collection. I did not want a complete contrast. I like how the different shades of purple blend with each other.

The world today is truly a global marketplace and it makes shopping so much fun :)

These are shots of my my living room at night..............
