When colour is B/W...

Let me first thank ' The key bunch' and about time now for placing windowseat design in blogs they love to visit.
I hope to keep this love for design alive and going.
My series of posts for a couple of weeks are going to be on various small artifacts I have collected over the years.
When we see a home in complete, these are the ones which actually get neglected.
So here is a small tribute to the all the knick-knacks which play such an important role in making a 'home' complete.
Since every piece has been picked at some point of my life and has a story, they are in B/W.
The nostalgia will continue every time I see these pictures.
Coasters- some of the many I have.
1st one is made of cinnamon from Langkawi.Its smells awsome.
2nd- Hand Painted Aboriginal Art from Australia
3rd -My favorite series of  Vangog paintings. This is one of the series
4th- China-clay Portuguese design influenced by the muslim architecture.
5th- The french 'cat ' series. I only like the graphics though.

In a really chilly late evening at Delhi Haat I saw a woman from Mizoram selling this hookah. The smoky hookah was a perfect buy for the weather.

These hand made clay hands which is actually an incense holder caught my eyes in a small village near Changmai in Thailand.


Really expensive toffees which cannot be eaten. 
Neatly crafted glass toffees picked on the banks of romantic venice.

I just bought a car with Bluetooth that is designed to import contact numbers from my iPhone. I can use the phone to make and receive calls through the car, but I cannot get the phone book numbers to transfer to the car. Any thoughts?
