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?

Be still, my heart..

India, Guatemala, Bhutan, Mexico, Mongolia, Brazil, Uzbekistan....just some of the places that have inspired Gudrun Sjödén to create a beautiful and prolific line of clothes, and home furnishing. Combine this mélange of influence with Scandinavian design traditions, and well, you have a collection that makes your heart skip a beat. Mine skipped more than a couple actually, and made me take hasty decisions like wanting to share this goodness from Sweden as soon as possible. Like pronto. Like without any further delay and, without much ado. Quite a difficult task since I had to stop drooling and do mundane things like copy paste, format, align, swear etc. And get used to blogger's new fangled post editor. Sigh! I can keep rambling on, but, I strongly recommend that you stop reading and start scrolling. And then tell me how many beats did your heart skip?  

And home furnishing isn't even the mainstay  of Gurdun...she actually specializes in creating incredibly beautiful clothing line.

See my selection from her collection here.. 

And, this last pic is specially for my readers from India...Let's see if you can tell me what made me smile :)

Psst: You can buy the towels seen in pics above from FabIndia. They have the exact same design! 

So long, till we meet next. And start prepping for Diwali via An Indian Summer!
