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:-)

Thank you and a break!

Hello there! My week has been busy and also very eventful! I am really touched and excited with the response to my "Shop". Thank you all for your encouraging comments. Since the inception of My Dream Canvas, this little store has always been a dream of mine and now it is turning into reality! As of now I am only shipping within USA and Canada. However, as the store goes online and grows, the plan is to ship internationally as well.

On another note, I am taking a ten day break and will be back blogging again in the second week of August. If you have any enquires regarding the items in the shop, please email me at anuseattle@gmail.com. I shall try and respond at the earliest.

The Canadian Rockies beckon...... and I am really excited about the road trip with hubby, kids and my parents! By the way, this is a picture of a corner in my breakfast nook that I am currently reorganising.

Meet the latest addition to my household. Mr Sheru (Tiger), this attractive cushion with the tiger print was sent by my cousin from India. Thanks Pooj!

I had been looking for these plates that I had bought in Florence many years ago. I found them recently and now they are on the wall in my breakfast nook!

Have a lovely weekend my friends.........I shall miss you all!!

Furniture Crush!

I have a little crush on this table from Riviera Maison! The mismatched chairs, the gorgeous colors, the colorful baskets that fit neatly into shelves for extra storage.....what is not to love about it!

A perfect summer setting for happy times with family and friends.........
Do you like it as much as I do???
