My idea of the perfect day has me strolling through a crowded outdoor bazaar. I am rummaging through piles of brightly colored textiles, stacks of intricately decorated pottery, beautiful trays of inlaid wood and plush hand-woven rugs... I can even smell spices wafting through the air....What is it about this exotic scene that speaks so loudly to me? I love using treasures that we have gathered from around the globe to decorate our home. There is nothing I love more than the look of the eccentric world-traveler's den. Bookcases laden with a curious selection of oddities, framed maps, supple leather armchairs....
My husband became quite the personal shopper for me as he trekked to parts of the world I will most likely never visit. Rugs from Turkey, carved masks from Djibouti, shawls from Oman, I will always treasure these special gifts and each finds it's place in the melange that is our home.
