Great Wall Tea Co.

The Great Wall Tea Co. is a small tea shop in River Market at Westminster Quay, BC that was designed by Marianne Amodio Architecture Studio. This tea bar concept offers over 150 types of tea form all over the world. 

But what caught my eye in the first place was the creative design of 568 different magnetized tea containers on the wall. Definitely a happy place for tea lovers like myself.

Chalk it to me Piggy Bank

This piggy bank by L&G with a leather tail and "silky-smooth" pigmented ceramic lets you label him again and again, or "let your friends play graffiti artist, or simply leave him clean and minimal."

You could also write down a quote or draw a creative pattern on it. 

There is also a terracotta piggy bank.

Creative Truths

Write a Bike

Swiss artist, Juri Zaech, brought personalization to a new level with Write a Bike. 

I think these bikes look cool and I like the font used, but I don't think I would do my name. Maybe it would be fun to do random  or funny words or words that you believe in like "love". Corny, I know.

Do you like this idea? Would you personalize your bike with your name or any other word?

Parmesan Cheese Pencils

These over sized parmesan cheese pencils from The Deli Garage come in three different flavors: truffle, pesto, and chili.  It includes a sharpener to grate the delicious cheese flakes unto your meals.

Indian Wedding Ideas: for weddings or parties

Andrena Photography

I was inspired by my Indian Weddings post and decided to continue the research and create a post  offering Indian Wedding Ideas! Well, I didn't really decide, it just kind of happened because Indian Weddings are awesome. 

Anyway, You don't even have to have an Indian Wedding to incorporate some of these ideas and it doesn't even have to be for a wedding. How about an Indian themed party! That sounds fun to me. 

Personalized Indian Favors

Wedding favors are small gifts given in appreciation to the guests. The tradition is an old one originated in Europe. In weddings, a small trinket box was filled with cubes of sugar, which during this era, was a treasured commodity only among the wealthy and it was believed that sugar had medical benefits.

Ideas: elephant candle holders, Indian trinket box, incense, or elephant picture holders. 

Indian Wedding Dresses

These sari gowns are so beautiful with intricate details and patterns, and the inspiration for a design is endless with all the different colors and styles.

Pinecone Lamp

Is it me or is this pinecone lamp amazing? 

Russian designer Pavel Eekra created this Crimen pinecone lamp which "consists of 56 plates and screws,without an internal frame due to rounding forms plaques form gaps through which light passes. Boards themselves are also slightly transparent, this creates a particular pattern of light from the outside and downward bright light."

Aerial Land Carpet

LandCarpets are modern living rugs designed to mimic aerial views of farmed and nature landscapes from different regions of the world as seen from an airplane.

Really Cool World Map Print

I love this print. I would totally frame it and put it up in my home office or even in the living room. I love traveling, I love the world, I love culture, and I love these pattern designs on each country that look like different pieces of cloth. 

Wooden Ship Toys

These beautifully designed wooden ship toys are inspired by three of the largest cargo ships in the world and today's technologies. With oil rigs, satellites, and container ships, Papa Foxtrot is looking to bring back the classic into the new.
