I have a weakness for saris. I live in Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa, where we experience a rich Indian Culture. This means that on my frequent visits to Charity Shops, I am almost always confronted by some "Second Hand Saris for Sale"! I just cant resist all those metres and metres of beautifully patterned fabric for around $1.50 or 70p [R10 for those of us in SA]. 
This is one beautiful way I have found to use them! [Along with my treasured glass "bottle" collection]

Hi! I came over from "Keeper of Chocolates" for a quick visit! Love the table setting -- looks like it could belong in my backyard!

I love how graceful the women look in their saris, and I am beyond envious that you can find saris for R10!
Maybe you'd love these also: at worldmarket.com they have bedding made from old saris and shoulderbags made from old saris. I love the bedding, but Husband thinks it's much too feminine. Sigh
I'm very envious that you can find saris second-hand! I've had a few that I gave away, eventually, because I just couldn't bring myself to cut them up.
This looks beautiful. I have a sari that my husband brought back from India for me and I've never worn it but wished I could incorporate into something in some way (without cutting it up!). Great idea!
Oh and I love all the mis-matched chairs!
You make it all seem so easy!
I still think very much in a box, and a symmetrical one at that!
And yes, I also noticed the chairs. Love it
oh my gosh! you are so brilliantly creative. i love stopping in, i am always so inspired here. i too love these suri's and use them for table tops as well. :) the colors here are amazing..
oh yes, edith Schaffer is amazing. she has been the 'mentor' i have longed for in my own journey of wife and mother. her books have always been a voice of truth for me in the rubble and noise of today's modernized and feminized culture.
What beautiful finds! We love the bottles, and the wonderful vibrance of the sari's- just want to leap across the globe for a visit! Your blog is filled with beautiful pictures-just love the quickvisit to other places through great photos!
blessings,
