Beautifully Subtle...

Sanganer is a place in Rajasthan that is famous for it's traditional hand block printing. Sanganeri prints usually consists of floral motifs and the colours used are natural dyes derived from Turmeric, Indigo plants, banana leaves and so on.
The colours are usually bright & vibrant which is synonymous with the colourful Rajasthan, hence it was a pleasant surprise when I saw these prints in subdued and in single colour in the Toast Catalogue Online. Check out their Quilts, Blankets & Throws in subtle colours. They have some lovely pillow and cushion covers too.

sun, sunlight, rain...

* mornings are bright, sunny and beautiful.
* evenings are cloudy, windy, rainy and beautiful.
* watching raindrops slide down leaves.

* hands are curled around mugs of steaming hot chai.

* finding beauty in 'things as they are'

* learning that sunlight, a wooden table and a hot cup of morning chai is a great combination that makes it to the front page of explore.

* I linger around windows, sinks and wash basins.
* completely bowled over by this, this and this.
* hope to own a polaroid and a holga someday.
* I think park weddings are so simple and beautiful
* discovered 'Rumi'

* watching an ice cream melt is lovely.

Enjoy the day and your life.
