Some Saturday Shopping


Happy weekend, my friends! Do you have big plans for Super Bowl Sunday? I'll be gorging myself on chips & guacamole, Crescent Dogs (a family Super Bowl tradition), and chicken wings while watching a little bit of football and a whole lot of commercials. Yep, living large! But Saturday is a different story. It's going to be a pretty low-key day of getting things done around the house. If your weekend's looking pretty much the same and you're thinking about doing some Saturday shopping from the couch, I've got a new online shopping source to share that I know you'll love - Kalyana Textiles!


Kalyana Textiles offers bedding, pillow covers, and table linens that combine traditional Indian block printing techniques and designs with a touch of modern style.

The colors are gorgeous and all of the products are handmade in collaboration with group of independent artisans, designers, and crafters in the village of Sanganer, India.

The traditional block printing techniques used to make the textiles involve stamping designs onto the fabric by hand using intricately carved wooden blocks such as this:
The process of block printing is truly amazing - you can read more about it {here}
The prices at Kalyana Textiles are pretty amazing too - less than half of what you pay for other hand blocked textiles such as John Robshaw's.

Happy shopping and thanks for welcoming
 our newest sponsor, Kalyana Textiles into our blog family!
