Your Home=Your Sanctuary

March 7, 2014

Take one look at the FTWWL Home Collection and you will be swept away by the brightly colored pillows, the match-work cushions and the distinct patterns that make these home goods hard to come by.

Image-17

Your home is your sanctuary—fill it with souvenirs from faraway places, precious gifts from unknown lands, and memories that are dear to your heart.  Image-18 copy

Nowhere will you find vintage saris from India and embroidered fabrics from Thailand used in this way.

The Ganesha God offers his protection to you and to members of the Hill Tribe as they craft these beautiful pillows.  Image-19 copy

Each one carries a blessing of good health and harmony within your home. Whisper your dreams into the ear of Genesha and this elephant God will remove whatever obstacles you may face.

The saris conceal your heart’s desires and offer the wisdom and courage you need to face each day. Image-21

Surround yourself with positive energy and unleash the power of Ganesha by welcoming him into life. Be mindful of the world around you as the traditions of fēng shuǐ bring you peace and tranquility.  Image-18

Create an “invisible force” around your home that binds the universe, the earth and human together as one.

The From the World with Love sari pillows carry all you need to achieve balance inside and out.

Wrapped in Pleasure, Layered in Love

Unravel something new; lose yourself in layers; wrap yourself in texture; feel beautiful inside and out.

Each time you put it, it’s worn a little different. You fasten a new knot, tighten your bow, or leave it dangling loosely—you wear the scarf as it wears on you, your emotions, your style and your sense of self.

You share in its beauty and find comfort in its embrace. You start to recognize its smell, its feel, each and every time its draped upon your shoulders.

What was once a part of nature has become a natural part of you.

Bring your creativity to life! Putting pen to paper is the first step in organizing thoughts, ideas and memories. As the school children of India pray to Ganesh, the God of intelligence, you too will find the blessing of this God and many others within the Sutara notebooks found in the FTWWL store.

Each delicate page made of recycled paper is held safely between individually decorated covers depicting Hindu Gods and sacred figures such as the elephant. Swarovski crystals and gold leafing draw attention, yet only you may know what lies within. Detailed with colorful lace, you will see your story unfold, layer by layer.

Having  the death skull dangling as you carry your notebook along puts ultimate power and protection

in your hands.

Be free to express your dreams, re-live the past, explore new worlds and write down each moment of your day. Sutara notebooks are  made for enhancing personal strength and grow. Like the people of the world, no two notebooks are alike.

 

Find your fit and begin your exploration of the world page by page!
