Garage Sale Purchase
So we were going downtown when I saw this garage sale in the neighbourhood.
I screamed: S-T-O-P-T-H-E-C-A-R!!! The husband screeched our black beauty to a halt.
And there I was greedily eyeing everything from the junk called Garrrrrage Sale in front of this oldish house.
And I spotted these!
Wooden masks from Mexico lying on the dusty porch. Blasphemous.
And guess how much I paid for them?! Five bucks each. Well, it was a great deal considering I did not even have to use my charm!

Soma’s Eclectic Opulence
That cycle still welcomes you in Soma Ghosh’s home. Its another story that, now its parked in her Mumbai home, which is nestled in one of the finest residential townships of India’s tinsel town.
Soma treasures her vintage possessions and her great editing skills have ensured she has a clutter-free, comfortable and welcoming home.
What would you say of the ceramic vermillion case with a Belgian mirror on its cover, sitting snugly amidst Soma’s silver. That ladies and gentlemen, belonged to her great grandmother!
Soma’s home never bores even a fastidious (read fickle) person like me. The welcoming colors of her urban retreat hold me in a trance, making me wait longer, to linger on and savor each delightful corner with cherished appreciation.
Soma’s decor mission is clean and artistic. Her home is a blend of her own personal style, interests in books and writing, and her knack to rearrange her treasured pieces, if only to celebrate her favorite memories.
I totally am mesmerized at how mere spaces between walls can be completely rehabbed into a nest of eclectic and modern abode.
