Its all in love and memories,the old home!


This post is about a very old home built in the early 1900 or earlier than that :)-The home is of my Husbands Grand Mother's.Recently it got renovated to become even more beautiful with all old photos hanging on the various walls,the black oxide turned into cool blue chettinad flooring :)-

The love it holds for me ..my husband...his mom...his dad..and Chechi. and all other dear family!
I still remember the first time I went there as a newly wed bride,the countless blessings received from the grandma, the grandma's loving felt like hands, almost all Sunday lunches when we are there in town with grandma,my first onam lunch as a new bride and a going to be mom,the many shots I took there,the pink and white hibiscus flowers

I still remember the old windows,the cracked cool blackoxide floors,the books we read lying on the floor,the mangoes  we ate ,the cool summers under the tiled roof  and the countless memories that cannot be penned..the amazing loving stories weaved in mind by the mom in law..its only love in mind..the love to memories and nostalgia!    What more in life than that!

Hoping to gather  more memories and love here.....

loved the small windows..and the light that came from them

The Vintage Charm :Lai




Exquisite silver jewellery,by the gemologist Puja Bhargav a Graduate from the NIFT(Delhi). Her designs have won the awards including those form the De Beers,World gold council and Perles de Tahiti.Jewellery ranges from exquisite silver pieces to quirky wood, bone, glass & fabric based handcrafted fun jewellery under its sub-brand   "Jujubi jewellery".


What I loved about them is the interpretation of Indian themes rendered in contemporary designs. Themes such as the paisley motif, design details from old palaces, havelis etc.- researched and stylized into jewellery designs to suit modern tastes & sensibilities.


 LAI 's indian soul and global spirit appealed to me much more than anything.





the paisley collection




what a thought behind the coin collection jewellery








the very colurful rangoli collection




the enamel work collection
the last of their series,Greek collection
