Exotic Decor at Our Dallas store

We are fortunate enough to go on several trips a year to such exotic locations as India, China, and South America. During our journeys we stumble across unique items that might be vintage, antiques, or even the last one left. So, every trip, we're sure to bring our empty suitcases to fill with these rare finds so we can carry them back home.

Handmade Books in Jaipur, India

Making Books by Hand

This company was started when three young friends rented a booth at a trade fair 14 years ago to sell books and bags made of handmade paper. This Indian artisan has grown great lengths since then and now specializes in handmade paper, bags, books, and leather products. They are located in Jaipur, India and also have a small group of designers and workers from a small village outside of Jaipur.

 

The Cocktail Party Predicament

It’s a circus act commonly seen at cocktail parties: balancing snack plate and drink while keeping one hand free to greet, gesticulate and actually get something into your mouth. If you’ve mastered that, you’re ready to party at the most rarified levels of society. I haven’t yet, so, well, there you go.

Until we evolve yet another opposing thumb or it becomes more acceptable to wear those drink hats with the straw that pipes your beverage directly into your mouth, I recommend our Vino Plates. They’re beautifully milled from solid wood and cradle nicely atop most glasses. And, I have to admit, are much more elegant than any of my other solutions.
