Garden Sculpture Field Trip

 Imperial Horses Lead a Caravan of Sculpture

Martha and I were out recently looking for outdoor furnishings.  Look at what we found!  These amazing, monumental garden scupture with motifs reminiscent of the ancient Middle Eastern, Asian and Indian cultures.  The pair of horses shown above are taller than I am!

There is a veritable forest of these large stone pieces, and as they mass together it gave me the feeling of being near an archaeological find of long lost treasure.  There is even a representation of the friendly and always helpful Ganesha.

You just never know what you're going to find around the next corner!

Jennifer Davis | Merit By Design

We'd like to introduce you to Jennifer Davis and her latest project, Merit By Design. Jennifer, a native of Durham, is by trade a psychotherapist, a life & wellness coach, and a yoga instructor. After following love and relocating to Bangkok, Thailand, Jennifer soon discovered her un-tapped passion for vintage textiles. She worked with many talented Thai women artisans to produce a line of one of a kind Yoga Bags and Pillows.


Jennifer writes about her vision, "I was walking through a street market in Chiang Mai, Thailand when I discovered these beautiful fabrics and the amazing Hilltribe women who hand craft them. While it was the beauty and detail of their work that first caught my eye, I now delight in being a part of helping these women earn a living wage as they preserve their traditional skills. Your purchase of this product is an act of merit, or service, as your join me in supporting and celebrating Hilltribe women and their craft."


We enjoyed our visit with Jennifer and are pleased to have a few of her beautiful creations in our showroom!
