We have just arrived in India to explore the beautiful textiles and products from Bandhini Welcome aboard.

Bandhini said – we work with beauty we are surrounded by beauty – come with us and join in our experience ‘Bandhini through our eyes.’

At Bandhini the simplicity of Eastern ways are embraced and they have strived to keep their products hand crafted and hand detailed – without the use of heavy petrol based machinery. Where at all possible they use  natural fibres that are handwoven and use vat dyes that do not make a hard impact on the environment. Bandhini  would like to think that all their products would gently return to earth.

It is such an incredible blessing to do something you love. In these tough times, to be happy in your work is very important. They have been very lucky to partner with a fantastic team in India for nearly two decades; Sweety the saintly talent and Mithoo, the mover of mountains whom  they love dearly and consider to be part of their family.

visit our online shop by clicking on the links below to see some of Bandhini products for sale and introduce some of their beauty to your surroundings.

I hope the rest of your week is filled with love, and blessings Lili x

All Aboard the Boho Express this week we are exploring our newest Traveller Ruby Star

http://spacesplaces.com.au/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=222



Welcome aboard the Boho Express today, I hope Easter has been full of blessings and I trust you will enjoy your ride across India with some beautiful craftmanship from our newest Traveller Ruby Star.

Ruby Star Traders is Australia's best loved importer of Indian textiles, furniture and homewares.
Karin Gardiner, Ruby Star Traders' owner and founder, has been travelling to India since 1996 and personally selects only those products which satisfy her discerning eye.
Karin collaborates on product ranges exclusively for Ruby Star Traders, applying traditional Indian crafts to create her signature look that is both bohemian and contemporary.
Where possible, Ruby Star Traders purchases from the traditional craft regions in India, where their products are produced by craftsmen working in traditional workshops. Purchasing in this way not only helps local craftsmen keep their skills alive, but it also helps create a steady source of income for families in these regions.

Berber sofa I love this piece it fits perfectly on the Boho Express with its boho - Chic style I can see The Berber Sofa gracing the wide entrance of an old Queenslander and at the other end of the scale taking centre stage in the living room of a funky city pad.  This is what the Boho Express is all about.  Love it.  The link at the top of this blog will take you directly to this piece on our on-line shop. 

Katha Stitched Paisley Sofa, ahh so pretty I love this three seater and so many more of our beautiful pieces from Ruby Star.  Go online to check out the pieces.  We will be adding more as the week goes on including great mothers day gifts such as handbags and purses, throws and cushions.

 

 

 I hope you have enjoyed your journey with us through the beautiful pieces of Ruby Star and I look forward to featuring more of their unique and so very Boho Express pieces throughout the next week.

Long time since I have written, well it has been a long time since Jay and I started down the road of setting up the on-line shop, I have been having alot of lessons in patience (definately not one of my favourites), with as many items as we have it has taken a lot of work to get it up and there will be a consistent flow of more pieces added regularly along with specials so you can find the perfect piece with the perfect price.  Very exciting also is all pieces are FREE delivery to Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Central Coast, and Canberra.  I love our shop I think it is easy to use and you can pay using paypal.  We are open to receive emails with questions on items or if you need a design tip we love to be able to bring design confidence to our clients.  We have beautiful pieces to inspire such as this French Inspired Mirror called Miroir Bella it is available in Antique Silver and Black.  I look forward to your response to our on-line shop tell your friends.  Thanks Lili x
