Setting An Atmosphere for a Warm and Happy Holiday

The Holidays are a time to create family memories. Make this a time of love and laughter!

This is the time of year to let your love flow freely and abundantly. Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. Creating a warm holiday glow is fun and allows you to express your uniqueness. Holiday traditions will be long remembered by family and friends.

You might want to go about decorating in an organized fashion. Why not start outside in the yard, then progress to the front door, of course you will want a very special tree, remember the holiday dishes, get comfortable in some snugglie PJs, set the atmosphere in the bedroom and relax with a cup of mulled wine.

In this lens I will show you some of my very favorite holiday treasures. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

A Lovely New Bedspread Would Please Her 

Holiday in the Bedroom


Cotton Bed Cover for Home Decoration Country-Rustic India Cut Work Size Queen
(bcov414)


Block Printed Bedspreads coverlets from ShalinCraft are handcrafted by textile artisans of Jaipur in Rajasthan. These bedspread coverlets are made in double layer cotton fabric. The heaviness caused due two layers allows the bedspread coverlet to fall straight on bed sides. The fabric is handloom woven by the textile weavers of villages of Rajasthan. Block Printing is done by the artisans of Jaipur. These artisans use hand-block prints and tie and dye prints. Motifs in these prints are typically flora and fauna found in India. A little embroidery work is also done around these motifs. ShalinCraft bedspread coverlets are unique for the quality of workmanship. It is not just any bedspread coverlet; it is a work of art; it has a soul.
