My homage to Wales today is about my new passion for vintage Welsh Tapestry Blankets. Just look at these blankets (photos credit and further observed here). I love the weave patterns and the vibrant colors (different on each side). We only have one vintage Welsh blanket, given to us by Allister's dear, dear, gran: And we hope to collect more as the years go by, with plans to gift them to our daughters when they are older and excited to decorate their abodes with something fantastically Welsh!

Immerse yourself in the ethereal charm of Cullen Harbour. This exquisite print captures the majestic serenity of the harbour at the enchanting golden hour, with a touch of surrealism that elevates the scene from a mere coastal snapshot to a mesmerising moment frozen in time. The scene before you is a rich tapestry of warm hues, from deep oranges to radiant yellows, interplaying across the sky and its reflection in the tranquil waters below. The harbour is alive with boats resting gently on the glass-like surface, their masts rising with a dignified grace that melds into the soft brush strokes of the surreal sky above. The water, mirroring the heavens, adds a sense of stillness and depth to an already palpable atmosphere. Beyond the boats, a picturesque row of buildings, with their charming, uneven rooftops, nods towards a bygone era. The houses, painted in subtle shades of pastel, lend a dream-like quality to the charming waterfront. Their façades are bathed in the golden light, adding dimension and a sense of history to this otherworldly depiction. Each element of this print is carefully considered, from the geometric abstraction of the clouds to the meticulously detailed reflections. The overall effect is a captivating blend of the real and the imagined, inviting the viewer to step into a world where time slows down and beauty reigns supreme. Hanging this print in your space is not simply about adorning a wall; it is about opening a window to a surreal, tranquil universe where the golden hour of Cullen Harbour whispers tales of calm and wonder. This piece is an ode to Scottish harbours, a unique addition that will transform your room into a haven of peace and beauty.

Immerse yourself in the warmth of Castlebay Harbour as it basks in the golden glow of the setting sun, captured here in this striking abstract print. Drenched in a palette of radiant yellows, rich ambers, and soothing greys, the piece portrays the tranquil water mirroring the fractured light, offering a tapestry of colour that dances across the canvas. The print portrays the harbour's peaceful demeanour, with geometric shapes assembling to form the quaint cottages nestled upon the rugged coastline. The composition offers viewers an enchanting mosaic where the boundaries between the tangible and the imagined blur. The golden hour's diffused light is masterfully represented, softening the edges and enveloping the scene in a dream-like quality that promises to transform any space into a serene haven. In this abstract rendition, the union of light and reflection is interrupted only by the linear divisions, suggesting both harmony and a subtle complexity within the harbour's essence. The sun, a serene orb in the sky, serves as a focal point, its soft luminescence infusing life into the depicted structures and water, testament to the fleeting beauty of twilight's magic hour. Each block of colour, while distinct, contributes to a cohesive whole, presenting a canvas that is as much an invitation to contemplation as it is a visual delight. As part of our 'Scottish Harbours' collection, this print is an ode to the captivating beauty of Scotland's maritime landscapes, abstracted to stir the soul and enchant the eye. Whether gracing a home, an office, or a gallery wall, it invites repeated viewings, with each glance revealing a new layer of detail and a fresh surge of emotion, tied intrinsically to the rugged charm of Scottish shores.

Situated as it is between Europe and Asia, Turkey is a land comfortable with dualities: east and west, religious and secular, ancient and modern. It’s no surprise that the Museum Hotel, in the Central Anatolian region, also blends two distinct hotel experiences: luxury and history. Recent visitors, perhaps lured in part by the slew of awards the hotel has been racking up recently, span a range of demographics, from heads of state to the ladies of the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit calendar. But the big draw, swimsuit models aside, isn’t the crowd; it's Cappadocia’s famous underground cities. Constructed by early Christians to hide from the Roman Empire, these cities consist of great labyrinths carved into and beneath the volcanic rock. Rooms have been restored to modern versions of these cave-like habitats. The exposed rock, overlaid with thick woven rugs and heavy gilt mirrors, is totally authentic. In one so-called Cave Suite, the tub is tucked beneath a natural awning; in another, the headboard is a series of mini-caves, ideal for storing a book or another nighttime need. If you’re into antiques, you won’t have to leave the hotel. The owner’s vast collection of museum-certified tapestries, furniture, and other objets d’art from the Romans and Ottomans, among others, decorate the hotel, including the award-winning restaurant, which specializes in—no surprises here—both classic and modern takes on the regional cuisine. (As the only Relais & Chateaux–certified hotel in Turkey, their culinary standards are high indeed.) But you’ll be fine just staying in your room too: besides the obvious amenities, such as Jacuzzis and LCD televisions, the hotel boasts stunning views of the unusual rural landscape, dotted with the stone houses still used by locals. Please note: Museum Hotel features 30 unique rooms that are divided into 5 different rate types. For any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. How to get there: The Museum Hotel is located in the center of Cappadocia, in the village of Uchisar. The drive from Nevsehir Airport takes about 30 minutes, while the drive from Kayseri Airport takes approximately 50.

My today's post will be about dress and jewelry of the Rana dynasty of Nepal. They ruled the Kingdom of Nepal since 1846 till 1951 and during the time the king was just a formal figure and the real power belonged to the Ranas. They made Prime Minister and other government positions hereditary. The Rana clan was really enourmous, the first Rana Prime Minister Jung Bahadur had 6 brothers, 14 sons and 30 nephews. And I suppose there was no Rana man who would limit himself with just one wife, they all had at least several (Jung Bahadur for example had 13). All those numerous wives, daughters and sisters had to be dressed and adorned according to their high status. Women's dress was influenced by European fashion at the Rana court. There are many photos of the late 19th century where Rana women wear Victorian silk dresses covered with pearls, sequins and intricate embroidery Sari also was worn but in a distinctive Nepalese style different from that of Indian fashion: the sari was pleated in the back and the border (paloo) was pinned like a stole. Jewelry was an essential way to show wealth and success. Each Rana wife and daughter had unique individual tiaras and necklaces designed for them. Tiaras were laden with diamonds and necklaces had nine strands of pearls and gems. Star and moon pins were popular motifs with the Ranas because these were emblems of their ancestral royal houses. Money was seldom a consideration. Tiaras were usually handcrafted in Calcutta, while necklaces, rings, bracelets and pins were generally purchased in Europe, either on visits abroad or by mail order. Van Cleef, Arpels, Harry Winston and Cartier were their favourite shops. Rana men prefer to wear a formal military garb with medals and braids. A unique headgear, sirpech, was a distinctive feature of their official outfit. The sirpech had three leaf-shaped ornaments mounted with diamonds and emeralds and a plume made of feathers taken, oddly enough, from the bird of paradise found only in New Zealand. All the photos are from here (great site about Nepal but in German) Related posts Nepalese ethnic jewelry: head ornaments Gay parade in Kathmandu If you enjoyed this post, please like my page on Facebook.

Immerse yourself in the serene yet vibrant atmosphere of Portree Harbour, captured through a masterful interplay of shape and colour in this minimalist print. Embracing the essence of Modern & Minimal, this piece distills the charming Scottish landscape into its fundamental forms, eschewing intricate detail for powerful blocks of colour and bold geometry. The artwork presents a tapestry of structures, each building simplified to its architectural core, with rooftops and walls rendered in harmonious shades of sun-kissed yellows, warm oranges, rich reds, and calming blues. These angular forms create a rhythmic contrast against the softer, layered hills that embody the backdrop, hued in muted tones of blue and grey to evoke the distant, misty Scottish highlands. On the water, a solitary boat floats gracefully, its presence mirrored in the glassy harbour below, adding dimensionality and a sense of quietude to the scene. The reflection on the water's surface further explores the theme of duality - reality versus illusion, all contained in a symphony of minimalistic elegance. This print is an ode to tranquillity and the power of less is more. It allows the viewer to experience the quaint beauty of Portree Harbour through the lens of contemporary minimalism, making it a statement piece for any space that seeks a touch of modern calmness coupled with a rich, colour-infused palette.
