Its Christmas time at Sanctum

Christmas is our favourite festival of the year. The nip in the air, the fairy lights all around, Christmas trees, Rudolf and of course, Santa Claus, make it festive and special.
So what's cooking at Sanctum this year for Christmas? Beautiful wreaths made from dried flowers and leaves; cushion covers with Rudolf, snowflakes & Christmas trees & wooden hooks and hangings depicting bells, and Father Claus, tea lights & napkin holders amongst others. Do visit the store & feel the Christmas spirit!

Errr, where can I get one of these?

Did you know that we have some in house celebrities at Sanctum? We are talking about some of our products that have been featured in advertisements. Some viewers actually contacted the production house / director to enquire where they sourced the products from because they loved them so much and wanted one too !

Here's a sneak peak at some of them that have been in the spotlight !

This multi coloured filing cabinet was spotted in the Airtel Great House Party ad. You can wach the ad here :

And our Mr Right / Mrs Always Right Cushions that were featured in this ad :

These have also been featured in another commercial of a leading telecom company.

Watch the space for more !

Decorating with Lace

Nothing spells old world romantic better than some gorgeous vintage lace. You can use lace all over the house - bedspreads, tablecovers, table napkins, runners and doilies to name a few. Here's some inspiration from the web :

We have just received some rare handmade lace table covers and bespreads at Sanctum made by elderly women from the a small district in Andhra Pradesh. Its a dying art as the young girls prefer crochet which takes less time than a tablecover which takes more than 100 days to finish. The women were trained more than 100 years ago by English missionaries, and the skill is being passed from generation to generation. We must value, nurture and preserve this art. Each piece is unique and one of its kind.. We are so glad that our customers are appreciating them & taking a piece of history home. Images below taken at Sanctum.

Blue & White

Who doesn't love a blue and white combination? It dates back to the 9th century, when this color palette was used in China to design porcelain. Much later, the French started using the combination in designing fabrics. It is a timeless, serene and most elegant combination ever. Try bringing in some of it into your homes & let it work its magic !

Here we explore some of our ceramic and pottery love in blue and white ! Nobody does it better than of one our favourite bloggers, Anna Spiro for absolutely beautiful things.
