'Shopo'holic!

I have always followed SHOPO with interest! I love their products and the fact that they are unique and sooo much fun doesnt hurt either! ;) They have a range of products decently priced and in sync with every kind of decor taste!

So my three faves from their HUGE..and i am not kidding here ...Huge range are these:

Teal Brocade Patchwork Cushions from Anek Designs

Patchwork Table Runner again from Anek Designs

Camel Terracotta Lampshade from Poi Doi

Its hard to select only three...but these are my top *(debatable) bt still top 3 faves!


I am also absolutely awed By NVY STUDIO sarees! A Saree from her is definitely on my list ..but a different post on that soon!


This wraps up my post on the Amazing SHOPO!

Mural Monday

Ok..So this isnt exactly a mural..but it is my first attempt at" Kerala Style" Murals. For more on this style of paintings please click here and a post from the lovely blog "Celebrations Decor" on Kerala murals. It is a very detailed post, do check it out here.

Labelled Krsna, Its acrylics on Canvas.

This piece was supposed to be a gift for a friend, but Hubby loved it so much..so this one goes up on his office wall!

View from another angle.

The painting took me about a week. Working on some more right now... Those will be up here soon enough too..Til then!

Have a good week ahead !
