Home and Garden Thursday

Your Home’s Décor

And

Your Wardrobe

1st Thursday -Home Decor:

and
 NOVICA  GIVEAWAY
I have read somewhere that our color choices for our wardrobe can reveal the color choices we are drawn to in decorating our home.

I believe, for me that is a true case.

I love color. I am particularly drawn, however

To the color red.

As I sit here now, I am wearing a read sweater and

The red slip-on flats I typically wear. No matter what

Outfit I may wear, I am most likely to pair it with

red shoes and or a red purse.

To me, red is my neutral.

Even though I have toned down the color of the accessories in most of the rooms in our home, there will always be a touch of red.

In the kitchen,

I have this tiny wreath of cherries above an

Old spice rack with towels and aprons attached.

Above the cabinets, I have my French market basket, my large Ironstone pitcher flanked by two cast-iron roosters

And a swag of apples.

In the dining room,

Well she’s always dressed in red, but even in this room

The accessories tend to contain the color red.

In the family room, all muted in winter tones, there are

Touches of red.

In the green room, where I am planning to make this my as Shabby Chic as I can get with green walls – room, there will

also be touches of red.

Do you find this to be true for you? Does your color preference in your wardrobe reflect the color preferences in your home’s décor?

The Giveaway!

 NOVICA 

“There is a nation of artists throughout the world-

a village of carvers in Bali;

a family of ceramists in Brazil who have handed down their craft

from generation to generation;

a farmer in the Andes who hand-weaves alpaca sweaters.

It is a community of artists who have been isolated

For centuries by distance, time and geography-

Isolated from the very community of collectors seeking

Their unique, inspired, and undiscovered arts and crafts.

Now, finally, there is a bridge connecting our separate

Communities into one worldwide nation-

This is the  NOVICA  Nation.

A nation of people inspired by the arts and

Empowered by the Internet.

We are all members.’

I was offered the opportunity to purchase an item from

 NOVICA 

  to review for you.

NOVICA products and their artisans

My goodness, I have to admit, I spent several hours

And several days looking through the very many

Wonderfully crafted items made available through  NOVICA  to us!

I chose a beautiful tote – not only am I drawn to the color red, but I am also drawn to totes made of natural material.

This cotton tote with hand-carved coconut shell flower buttons simply appealed to me.

When it arrived it was more wonderful than I expected.

The size, feel of the fabric and the sweet buttons are absolutely lovely.

It is so large, I can carry several things while out shopping.

Along with my tote came a note from the artisan, Warunya, “You see, I am very proud of my work because I put lots of physical, moral and spiritual effort into it”.

“Coconut Flowers”

'Coconut shell flowers blossom over a green  cotton canvase in an admirable design by Warunya. The tote’s bag’s natural materials include mango wood handles.' 

Features a small internal pocket that closes with a button.

I am extremely happy with my purchase and 

quite delighted with the vast array of products created by

Artisans worldwide provided through  NOVICA .
