Weekends are a gift! We use them to meet up with friends, bond with family and loved ones, play silly games with the kiddies, and potter about the home arranging, rearranging and tidying up! Here are some snippets from past weekends.
Catching up with Kanika
Last weekend I met up blogger Kanika Bahl …..and we went to a local handmade paper factory. Here are some pics

I enjoyed that visit, and I am totally delighted with the stuff I picked up. I have little projects planned for each type of handmade paper I bought…will keep you posted!
Pottering about the house
I love this painting that I have in my home. It is by a versatile woman Kamini Raghavan. I am sure you have heard of her 😉 Check out her blog here.

I was supposed to try a recipe or two this weekend, but got too busy with some social plans. The highlight was meeting three of my favourite girls. Had an Italian dinner with one on Friday; caught up with the second who was down on an emergency visit from Scotland; and ogled at shoe sales with the third. Girlfriends are so important and so much fun!
Where is this paper factory? Would love to visit it when I'm in Pune next.
