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.

My hood.

My groceries when I ride to Whole Foods.

What was your first bicycle?

Sad as it is, I don’t remember…I remember our moped and I am thinking I had a Ten-speed.

Riding down the Rio Grande Trail from Aspen to Woody Creek; we do it every summer and it is one of my favorite outings.

How often do you ride?

When it is nice out I try to ride as often as possible. I try not to drive anywhere outside of work and to the grocery store during the summer months.

For what purpose do you ride?

My main reason is for fun but I guess the health benefits of riding a bike are nice.

Where is your favorite place to ride?

I enjoy just riding to enjoy the nice weather out but it is always a great time when a bunch of my friends and I get together and ride to the nearest patio and enjoy a nice cold beer.

If you have a basket, what do you use it for?

I don’t currently have a basket but I am trying to find one to put on the back of my bike so I am able to carry a few groceries in it.

I don’t mind riding alone but riding with someone is typically a lot more fun!

What was your first bicycle?

Aside from my pink and white bike with training wheel, my first real bike was a purple Huffy mountain bike.

What is your favorite memory of riding your bicycle?

My favorite memory of being on a bike was when I would ride with my brother and we would bike to the creek by our house and ride on these hills.

I can ride with no hands. I use to be able to do a few jumps when I was younger but I don’t think I would try them now.

The closest place is around a lake near my house. But I also like riding on less-traveled country roads.

If you have a basket, what do you use it for?

Unfortunately, I don’t have a basket. But I do have some pockets on my shirt that I put snacks and my phone in.

Do you like to ride solo or with someone?

I like riding with other people. I’ve seen all kinds of animals (armadillos, deer, bunnies, rams, goats, etc) and interesting people and scenery on my rides, and it’s more fun when someone else is there to enjoy it with me.

What was your first bicycle?

Does a big wheel count? I think my sister and I had a Barbie Big Wheel when we were little.

Recently I went riding with my husband in the Texas Hill Country, Fredericksburg specifically. It was 34 miles of really great weather, interesting animals, wildflower-covered scenery, and rolling hills. It was the perfect ride!

Um, no. I’m too afraid of falling (which I’ve done plenty of times). But I have made it up to 30+ miles per hour on my bike.

Mostly on the weekends. Now that it’s getting warmer, however, I may find myself replacing jogging with some evening biking.

Mostly to get around town. Sometimes, I like to hop on my bike on Saturday mornings before it gets hot, get a cup of coffee, and watch the town wake up. It’s my favorite part of the weekend.

Around the downtown Denton square and through the historic neighborhoods.

I’m really good at falling off of it at very slow speeds. I guess you could call me a pro.
