<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://dakshinachitra.net/index.htm">Dakshinachitra</a> located on the scenic East Coast Road in Chennai is a non-profit organization of the Madras Craft Foundation created for the promotion and preservation of the cultures of the diverse people of India with emphasis on Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. A variety of old South Indian houses are re-built inside the place without losing the originality. Materials used during the era are kept inside the house to provide an overview of the history of South Indian states. It is a great place to visit with family and kids if one wants to know, understand and appreciate the old traditions that are out of place today. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Around 20 houses are recreated which include the Potter's house of Tamil Nadu, Ikat Weaver's house of Andhra Pradesh, Chikmagalur House of Karnataka, Syrian Christian house of Kerala etc., Apart from the houses, there is a crafts bazaar where crafts people from across India demonstrate their craft and sell traditional craft items directly to the public. Also, there are a <a href="http://dakshinachitra.net/scripts/currentevents.asp">number of activities</a> like dance performances, puppet shows, art exhibitions, fun activities like tarot card reading with parrots, pottery making etc., and craft workshops organized within Dhakshinachitra for children and other visitors as well. </div>

By now, I am sure that most the bloggers and non-bloggers would have heard of the great online shopping website <a href="http://shopo.in/">Shopo</a>. For those who donot know, Shopo is a market place for Indian handicrafts and designer products. Be it apparel or home decor products or jewellery , they have items in almost every category one can imagine !!! If you are looking for something unique and Indian, then this is definitely the place to be. It is also one of my favorite online shopping sites that I frequently visit, and the first thing I look for is their latest garden products. So, when Shopo asked me to feature some of their products, naturally I accepted, and I wanted to do the post on one of my favorite topics- Gardening !!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here are my favorite picks from the Garden Section of Shopo.in ... Hope you like them as well.. ;-) ;-)</div>

Have you ever collected seed pods from your morning walks ? Well, I have many a times, when I was in my childhood days or may be even later.. ! Guess, if you are inspired after reading this post, you would be back to collecting seed pods, like I do now.. ;-) ;-) .. !! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seed pods as such or painted can either be arranged in a tray or paired with candles or any other interesting objects to create simple and easy centerpieces...!! Here I have used seed pods in different shapes from Carao (Pink Shower Tree), Bauhinia and Rubber seeds ... Pearl Metallic colors (from Fevicryl Hobby colors) were used to paint the seed pods.We painted one side, left it to dry and then painted the other side. It just takes a few hours for the whole pod to dry and the painting can be completed within minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
P.S : Anyways I have to admit that this is my mom's idea... We both tried this together at my parent's place, when I had been there for a short stay..!! May be this is where I get my creativity from... ;-) ;-) </div>

A couple of weeks back, when I had been to a
nursery that I haunt at times, I found these beautiful vertical gardening
concepts and I simply had to share them with you all !! Vertical gardening solutions can
be very useful when there is not enough space at a home to spare for a garden.

<div class="yiv612666243MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><em>Idea #1</em></strong> : A wooden mesh or a wire mesh can be
used to house planters. These semicircular planters have two holes at the back
and can be nailed or tied to the mesh. This is a great solution if you do not
like hammering nails to the walls. These planters can also be fastened to
fences, grills etc., What a lovely idea isn’t it ? </div>

but I simply had to post the picture of this multi-tiered planter that has many varieties of plants in
it… ;-) ;-). </div>

Hope these simple ideas inspired you enough to create your own vertical garden at home.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend !! Have you guys seen the April issue of the Good Homes Magazine? The latest hit on the stands is the voluminous 4th Anniversary Indian Edition of Good Homes. The magazine's pages are color-coded into three main sections :- Market Place , Art of Living and Inside Stories. The interesting part of the magazine is the distinct <em><span style="color: #cc0000;">'With Love'</span></em> section where Good Homes' pals have designed special presents for the magazine's anniversary edition. However, the highlights and my personal favorites from this issue would be the <em><span style="color: #cc0000;">'VIBGYOR'</span></em> section where accessories in every hue of the rainbow were displayed, posh and plush styling tips shared in the <em><span style="color: #cc0000;">'Grand Appearances'</span></em> & <em><span style="color: #cc0000;">'Return to Royalty'</span></em> sections and the real home stories shared in the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><em>'Inside Stories'</em></span> section. <br />
<br />
Being a subscriber of Good Homes, I would say that the editor Ronitaa and her team deserve a pat on the back for their efforts to bring such a tremendous change in the recent issue of the magazine's layout and design. It is nice to see that the team has thought of bringing renovations in the magazine's look as well rather than just concentrating on the content to keep things fresh !! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Here are a few pages from the magazine : </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Hi friends, How have you been ? Guess, this is the longest I have stayed away from blogger so far... My sincere apologies... !! ... Well, I have completed 100 posts so far, and I am back for good to celebrate this milestone with a Giveaway ... ;-) ;-) .... !! This time I have <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/">My Memories</a> Suite, <span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #cc0000;">a $40 worth </span></span><a href="http://www.mymemories.com/digital_scrapbooking_software"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">digital scrapbooking software</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> </span> for the giveaway. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have tried their software out and it so easy - The software enables you to finish the work in no time... !! All you have to do is select the layout, drag and drop the photos - They fit themselves perfectly well within the layout. There is no need to adjust the photos width and height which makes the work much easier. Also, there are tons of backgrounds, embellishments that you can choose and be creative - I love their scroll flourishes and their painting photo effects which I have used in the pictures seen below. <br />
Just visit the videos <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MyMemoriesSuite">here</a> to know more about this software. </div>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> I thought that I would start the first post of this year with something that I have always loved and love to do - 'Floral Arrangements' ... Flower arrangements are the easiest and affordable way to cheer up a space in an instant. During my brief stay at home during the holidays, I could see my mom doing some lovely flower arrangements using flowers from her garden... I was amazed to see that even simple arrangements could look soo adorable... ;-) ;-) ..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Hope have put up the christmas tree and decked up your home for the festival season... !!! I have already put up the tree - but there's lot more to be done with very little time left..Hope to complete everything in a day or two...... I promise to share the pictures soon... ;-) ;-) </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">For this festival season, I tried out a simple floral centerpiece with roses and greens - This is how the flower arrangement looked with a few more co-ordinating tea lights and some christmas ornaments simply strewn around. <i>-</i> It takes just 15-20 minutes to get everything done ;-) Hope you will try this out for christmas and let me know how it turned out ;-) ;-) ...!! <i><br />

Run by young couple, Neethirajan and Reshuma who are passionate about art , this shop is an one stop destination for buying hand crafted items. What looks like a quaint little shop from the outside is actually a two-storage treasure house of hand made products and as you enter the shop, you will soon be spell bound by the amazing range of items they have to offer. The store was initially started to exhibit African masks and now has various handmade artifacts from Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, USA, Indonesia, Thailand, China, SriLanka and many more countries which include mirrors, wall hangings, figurines, gift items, candle holders etc., <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"> This is what Neethirajan says about his shop ... " <i>D'Hut basically has collections of handicrafts from all over the world, especially African masks. It was an outcome of my personal collection when i sailed to the African sub-continent as a marine engineer. The beauty and uniqueness of these masks made me a compulsive buyer till my collection could not fit in the house any more. The collections slowly began to include artifacts from Iran, Papua New Guinea, South America and other countries. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>It was then that my wife and I decided to exhibit them in a shop which we later named D'Hut keeping in mind the nature of origin of the items. We were pleasantly surprised to see that many more people enjoyed and shared our appreciation of these artifacts. As a shop we also took into account the likings and preferences of our customers. And so we now also have a variety of things from Java, Indonesia, Thailand, Srilanka and of course India. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>We are now working upon adding more rare and interesting things to the collection. And of course when one piece sells I am able to keep my passion for buying them alive by replacing it with another piece. <br />
We hope this helps in preventing the cultural art of different countries from disappearing and can be enjoyed and appreciated by our future generations."</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i> </i></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSkryzvwm773JLpWQOxhCkhcgTtYHuILXn9j-tliMhl9eB6FKNPRpyFnZ2zP72rIwhd_1RmY9O122HECHk5IHDVGEfvzIetTMSOI6-O9Xr6Ni1e7kb5g9ZIY8L5zHKREk-jbAJhnwOsQ/s1600/1b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSkryzvwm773JLpWQOxhCkhcgTtYHuILXn9j-tliMhl9eB6FKNPRpyFnZ2zP72rIwhd_1RmY9O122HECHk5IHDVGEfvzIetTMSOI6-O9Xr6Ni1e7kb5g9ZIY8L5zHKREk-jbAJhnwOsQ/s640/1b.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

So if you ever visit Chennai, don't miss out this shop - It's a great place to shop both Indian and world handicrafts at reasonable prices - And don't forget to ask them to show their two-floored storage house too ....!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

This is an exhibition of various dolls and figurines in odd (usually 7, 9, or 11) numbered tiers ("padis"). [Excerpt : <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golu">Wikipedia</a>] </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> This week in Chennai, there was a golu exhibition where more than 69000 dolls were displayed for the Guinness World Records.
