Your Home=Your Sanctuary

FTWWL — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 13:50:06 +0000

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rainy Day, Sunny Smile. This Is Isabele

It was one of those rainy, gloomy mornings in New York and I’d gotten up early to take my daughter to school. The sky was grey and people had grey expressions, hiding under umbrellas, rushing to get out of the rain. I didn’t think I would spot anyone interesting for photos. Then suddenly, I notice a long line silhouette with an angelic face juggling with her umbrella and iPhone, all while attempting to hail a cab.

It’s got to be her I thought. She’s got the exact freshness I’m looking. She’ll bring a light and modern feel to the vintage jacket that embodies tradition, culture and savoir-faire. I rush over to her I showed her some FTWWL pictures, both huddled under our umbrellas. With a huge smile on her ‘angel’ face, Isabele agree to be photographed.

She brightened my dismal start to the day. Every cloud has a silver lining…

Our chat was casual and interesting, meeting new people and learning new things every day.

FTWWL: Where do you live?

Isabele: Manhattan, NYC. I’m a student and actor

FTWWL: What do you call your style? How are you inspired?

Isabele: Fun, colorful, fresh, comfortable, interesting.

My sister and my city are my biggest inspiration.

FTWWL: What is your mantra?

Isabele: Laugh often

FTWWL: How would you spend your last 50 Dollars/Euro?

Isabele: Go out for some good food.

FTWWL: What does “happiness” mean to you?

Isabele: A warm day with coffee, food, and the people I love.

FTWWL: If you had to pick, what FTWWL item do you long for?

Isabele: Easy: a vintage sari scarf
