Trrims, Travels and Thanksgiving - Pure India!

Many have asked, 

"What is it like to visit the markets of India?!"

"If only I could travel with you!" Some have exclaimed.

"I can't even imagine the wonderful things you see!" 

In my recent quick trip of three fast-paced days in Dehli - I tried to capture a few of the adventures and sights to share with you-- just what I see; the traffic we encounter; and to see the many "possibilities" of So-Many-Things-Beautiful!

The Beauty of the Diwali festivities still cover the corridors of Chandni Chowk, a favorite market of mine!


Stairway to Heaven--- of Trims! 
I have told the story of the trims shop in Chandni Chowk that sparked the idea of Pyar&Co. 
I have tried to describe the narrow, spiral staircase-- secured by duct tape-- that leads to three floors of
PURE BLISS in TRIMS; RIBBONS & LACE!

Every step I take is one step closer to the amazing finds of TRIMS!

Bursting at the Seams in Trims!

The views cause me to pause,
simply giving THANKS for
the AMAZING views &
experiences I have been given.

Traveling through the markets via rikshaw-- I take in all the sights of the everday deliveries and on-the-go movement of a city filled with transportation from bikes to scooters; elephants to cars.  Everyone has a place to be on a road traveled by more people than it could ever have been planned for.  The movement is fast-paced yet respectful- honks are given as a warning of, "Coming through!" as the streets are not marked with lanes - it is a welcome path for everyone whether on two wheels; four wheels; two legs or four legs-- everyone has a place to be and people to see!  What a wonderful world it is!

Gushing with a bit of Gratitude for Gattle's of Ohio

Gattle's of Ohio-- Oh, Ogee!
With a little silver sparkle topped onto of a beautifully dressed bed, the Ladies of Gattle's know just how to say, 

Greetings from Gattle's with Pyar&Co.'s Jujubee

  

               Welcome Home for the Holidays!

Pyar&Co, Tota Throw and Pyar&Co. Contantine pillow accent the warm family
space of Lara Plaisance.

Have you ever wondered about the journey of your Pyar&Co. piece?

The inspiration for the Tota Throw (Tota means parrot in Hindi) came to us via Pinterest! A friend of Pyar&Co. had “pinned” a dress as an inspiration for a Pyar&Co. pillow!  We LOVED the colors- but wanted a larger “canvas" to showcase the amazing hues! And, so it was decided to do it in a throw.

Woven by hand, this throw had a story before it even left India!  The Indian gentleman, who wove the Tota Throw, has woven numerous throws during his many years as a weaver.  So, when we learned that he loved this throw so much that he made one for his daughter; we knew this throw was special!!

Shortly after we introduced this hand-woven; color-block, mohair-wool blend throw, we learned Domaine Home had named it as a TOP TEN BEST LIGHTWEIGHT THROWS! 

Beautifully crafted and one of the softest of its kind; with stories to tell. 

Have a photo and a story to share of your Pyar&Co. piece?!  Post it on FaceBook, Tag Pyar&Co.! 

 The color-blocking proportions of the  lovely, sweet hues are just the right amount of warmth all year round.  

Tota, a charming piece which is truly versatile for all seasons.
