India on my mind

I am going for my annual India trip beginning of next month and these days all I can think of is all the shopping that I have plans for once I'm there. I'm super excited!!!

I have browsed the web and so many blogs for all possible shopping resources. I have a long list of places to shop- some of them are my all time favorites (read dilli haat & fabindia) and some newer stores.

As I'll be in and around Delhi for most part of the stay, here's a list of all the the stores and places that I'll be going to-

1. Mora Taara
2. Varya
3. MaxiMum store
4. Fabindia
5. Good Earth
6. Santushti complex
7. Crafts museum
8. Janpath
9. Cottage Emporium
10. Dilli haat
11. Renovation Factory (Khan Market)
12. People Tree near Janpath  

I am thankful to all the bloggers out there who have helped me in finding about all the wonderful shopping places for Indian handicrafts.

Anyone who lives in Delhi or knows about the place, please, please can you suggest any other interesting place that I could add to my list?

Weekend Wrap-up

It was the Thanksgiving weekend here in the US, a four day long weekend. My sister and her fiance were visiting us and we had big plans for the weekend.  There was lots of yummy food, loads & loads of shopping, and yes, the best part- the weekend art project.

I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Hawaiian  Passion ....or Turmeric Yellow

Ready for some more...

Adding motifs on the wall

I'm quite pleased with my turmeric yellow wall and the motif wall art. What do you think? I'm still contemplating adding a couple more on the right side of the wall. Any suggestions???

I'm linking to Patty's weekend wrap up party at Coloursdekor.

Swiss memories

My husband and I love travelling. However, our holiday in Switzerland has been the most memorable one so far. We reminisce about it every now and then. It was an impromptu decision, to take a 6 day trip to the swiss alps, while on our way to India. What made it so exciting was that it was a spontaneous idea, one that wasn't planned much ahead of time. We researched and planned everything using tripadvisor (a great travel resourse). For most part of our trip we stayed in a family owned hotel in the village of Wengen, and got a taste of the swiss hospitality which is worth experiencing. Here are some pictures of the gorgeous views that I tried to capture - the sun shining on the snow capped peaks, streams and waterfalls running through the mountains, wooden houses with thier flowers filled window boxes, serene lakes with blue-green water and the beautiful churches. I must admit that the photos do not do justice to the stunning beauty of this picturesque country.
