My mother traveled with me on my last buying trip to S.E. Asia. She is 83 going on 60! I spent a fair amount of time living in

During the late nineteenth century, India established a printing industry

devoted to producing images of Hindu gods and goddesses.

These kitschy posters are all over India, but these three-dimensional

embellished gems are extra special. While in Jodphur, India with my daughter we were having our daily 4pm meltdown(sensory overload). We popped into this place to get a bit of quiet from the chaotic market under the clock tour. Hours later we emerged excited with our purchases and ready for more! Aah the marvels of India.
