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 White House vegetable garden is one of my favorites.

Today is the first day of spring, although here in Texas it has felt like spring for the last couple of weeks! The beginning of spring means that it is gardening season; this past weekend I made a list of the vegetables and herbs I wanted to grow this year.  I am definitely planting some tomatoes, jalapenos, garlic, and bell peppers.  I can’t wait until I get to make  fresh garden salsa!  A tip that I am going to try this year is to plant Marigolds around my garden; the roots of the Marigolds produce a chemical that repels certain types of beetles and other bugs.  What are you planting in your garden? Do you have any  gardening tips to share?
