A beautiful Heritage hotel run by Mr. Bascarane and his wife. They are one of the nicest people you can come across, ever so friendly and welcoming. The hotel is a "home stay" in their ancestral home. It is two storied and has about 5 rooms in all. Every nook and corner has been tastefully done up with vintage brass articles.utensils, antique furniture, Tanjore Paintings, Vintage calendar art. Its so beautiful and takes you back to a bygone era... The breakfast at this place is awesome and the staff are ever smiling and friendly.Its located in the French Quarter and has great accessibility to the beach and other eating places in the area. A must visit, when you want to stay at Pondicherry.

Decor Ideas Xmas 2012

Decor IDeas Xmas 2012, a set on Flickr.

Its December! And I love this season. Its time to start creating small arrangements around the house !

"Deck the halls with bells of holly..."Oh well, one of my "prized" possessions is a tea glass holder that we see Chai waalahs(Tea Vendor) use when they need to deliver "shot glasses of tea". My little Santa sits in with a few flowers arranged in the cups. Quirky markers can also be message boards or name tags for people around a table. I sure hope to come up with more ideas..

tis the season to be jolly...shalaaalalala lalalala

Cotton saree Curtains and Quilt Cover

Cotton saree Curtains and Quilt Cover, a set on Flickr.

I love Natural fabrics. I love home washable linen. Just had an idea and wanted to refurbish an old faded quilt. What better way than with a Cotton Sungadi Saree(its extremely soft) There are areas in the home where one doesn't really need to cover up with thick curtains, so sheer ones will do. One such area is the dining/living area in our home. One saree made for two door length curtains. Ask your local tailor to make a little stitch on the top and the bottom. Split the pallu into two, and voila two identical sized curtains ready!

Our double quilt needed two sarees, one for either side..I love the deep blue and red combination!
