Here's the link - http://images.google.com/hosted/life . It's not much, you can look for "India" or "India shops" or anything you're interested in, there maybe some good pics.

Bought them at a beads shop at People's Park Complex. I was thrilled then. Then I found artisans making flowers with papers and I tell you, after that. you don't really want to go back t clay again because the paper ones are more realistic. The ones I bought from Chatuchak are all handmade, as I was told but probably with paper punch or something. I just love them. <br /><br />Your photos are beautiful and I am dying to see what you do with the flowers :)Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-71663059997950888802010-01-05T17:19:56.688+08:002010-01-05T17:19:56.688+08:00Belle!

It is my sis' SuZ's impression of how my Maharaja's Palace will eventually look like. This is the picture I brought to India when I was looking for an artisan there to build it for me ..lol! I was in the wrong part of India of course. Hopefully this year, I will go to the right part, Rajasthan. <br /><br />If I have my way,my palace will look exactly like SuZ's rendering.<br /><br />I have made at least 3 posts on flowers. These last batch which I have sent out were bought in Thailand on my last trip there specifically with some of you in mind. These flowers were similar but not identical with the ones "sold" at the Tallulah's flower stall.<br /><br />I think all beautiful homes should have flowers.

I picked the smaller ones so that they will match your scale. I think I gave you enough to furnish a few households:). Yours were sent out quite early on, together with Mercedes, Rosanna, Eva etc. Cindy who's in Singapore was the 1st to get 'em (of course) although hers were the later batch -had to email her for addy.

Tours with boat rides in the night are organised to rivers and home of thousands of fireflies and although I have never been on one, my friend said it was magical! I thought of you, Rosanna and what we can do when you are on your South East Asian Tour! For Malaysia, there's jungle , glorious beaches (Rawa/Trengganu) and hostorical towns like Malacca. It's all time time time :) and of course there's food, food, food.<br /><br />My housemate will be travelling via Milan to visit Slovenia this year.

I envy you :). <br /><br />I remembered you writing on one of my flower posts that you liked the chrysanthemums so I sent you those in many colours. With a fairy garden in mind as well. These flowers are very versatile. With a bit of different colours (you can paint some of them) they can be turned into peonies, water lilies etc etc. <br /><br />I agree with you totally, biggest is not always the best but Malaysia is always into building the largest or tallest. They hold the world record for the biggest floor space for a mall or something like that. But Berjaya Time Square is always crowded and traffic is a nightmare so this trip we bypassed the mall.Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-74138075044624568382010-01-05T09:57:32.176+08:002010-01-05T09:57:32.176+08:00Wow - I can't believe how much that looks like...Wow - I can't believe how much that looks like the Palace!
