Travellers and Magicians

Travellers and Magicians; Tales of a sea gypsy; Atelier; Indigo blue...

These are just some of the themes that lured me to The Society Inc., a eclectic store owned by Grazia's interior editor - Sibella Court, in Sydney. The store changes its 'theme' four times each year, and each theme transports the customers to a story created from products from real places, and imagined eras. 
The interiors and decor in these pics is reflective of the myriad magical themes, and yet has a very real, down to earth feel to it. And that is what I like about such decor - dreamy, but also very doable in your own home. 
Take a look at some of my favorites...

P.S: Thank you for your lovely emails! I am just about getting back to the online world after a super busy month and, a 4.5m fall-survivor laptop. If you have written to me but haven't heard back yet...I promise I shall get to your email and thou shall be in receipt of a corresponding reply soon. Within this week hopefully. If what you had written to me was urgent, and needed my immediate and undivided attention, please drop in a quick email again and I will jump into action.

P.P.S: Did I tell you lately that I love hearing from you?

2010...

...already?

well, Happy New Year then!

Sending some sunshine your way. It is so cold these days..brrrr

So, how have you been?

Hope you had a great Christmas and lovely new year celebrations

And are you back to work now?

Ugghh! The worst part of any holiday...the part where it gets over

I have been travelling, working and vacationing through the last month

Where? To Here and to a few more places

Came back home with a kaput laptop (don't even ask how!)

And guess what did I do as soon as my laptop got fixed?

I wrote to you! :D

I'll hop off now

But will be back in a couple of days

To kickstart the beautiful, and the exotic for the year 2010

Thank You!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'll be seeing you in some time. Meanwhile, hop over for more decor and other good stuff...

You were always on my mind..

Maybe I didn't post as much as I could

Maybe I was busy doing something else

But when I saved these pics as I should

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

[creative meddling with Pet Shop Boys : You were always on my mind]

This is my song dedication to you for the hiatus of past couple of weeks. And please hum the song in the coming month too since I will be spending the next month on airport and NY and airport and Atlanta and airport and SF and airport and DC and....you get the idea, right? It is going to be a busy month, but, I will peep in once in a while and say hello. Since, you are always on my mind...you are always on my mind!

You know what else is on my mind? These lovely interiors from my ever growing inspiration files. And s*&% the formatting of the blog...I am sharing these pics extra large! Will work around the formatting when I redesign the blog in the new year. So till then, please bear with the somewhat messed up UE of the site. Focus on the pics. Scroll left to right if needed. Leave me comments and notes. And join the gang of followers on the left sidebar, and on facebook. That's it. Quite reasonable demands, I must say..

Umm...couple of tickets to Brazil please..

Mr. Wilbert Das, when not being the über creative director at Diesel, is into setting up beautiful villas in Brazil. So glad he picked up this 'hobby', else we wouldn't have had Uxua Casa Home.

 "Above a remote stretch of Brazil’s Bahian coastline sits an enchanting fishing village called Trancoso. On the town’s historic green (the Quadrado) is a secret garden holding a luxurious hideaway; nine 1-3 bedroom houses built and decorated in collaboration with local artisans using traditional building methods, recycled materials, and exquisite attention to detail."

Well, Thank you Mr. Das. Good job!

Now for those tickets and reservations..

But wait. Let me first practice pronouncing Uxua...it can't sound the way its sounds coming out of my mouth..can it?

You try. While you take a look at this amazing place..
