Simple things sometimes make happy memories....

My husband and I are both very artisticly inclined and living in the lap of nature has given us immense opportunities to create something beautiful out of mundane inanimate objects. Living in the beautiful lush tea estates of assam, or in the wilderness of the coffee estates of Coorg in Karnataka.I still remember how he used to collectpieces of driftwood on his rounds on the estate n we used to be so excited while cleaning and then varnishing it.The end result would be a beautiful piece of decoration or a lamp.Once we had children they too joined in with us, we used to go down to the river on the bike and have a picnic by the riverside...and sometimes get lucky and find a beautiful piece embedded in the banks.Each time i look around my house i see that every piece has a story to tell and beautiful memories attached . It always brings a smile to my face...and more when guests who visit our home love them and marvel at the creations..
