"would you buy some tea from me?......."

said the little boy...

as we walked up the slope towards the village....

"these tea are fresh.... and my parents 

just made them today"... ;)

insisted the little boy who was determined to 

make his first sale of the day....

and that was it..
I bought 3 bags of tea from these kids of the
Wa ethnic minority village

in Yunnan, China.

I've selected the following photos for this post as I know my blog friends 

who have a special interest in fabric art will be delighted.

we were gifted with their unique and beautiful fabric weaved by these women.... ;)

( here's a glimpse of the beautiful embroidery (the bag) and weaving style

of the Wa ethnic group.)

and after a week of volunteer work in Yunnan, we returned with
fond memories and a thankful heart...

Happy T Tuesday!!

Practice Compassion....

“If you want others to be happy,


practice compassion.

If you want to be happy,

practice compassion.”

Tuesday on Dempsey..

I found this post in my "draft" section

and it seemed I had it prepared for T Tuesday

but got busy

with work and etc.....

so here it is a belated post on Dempsey Hill

a tranquil enclave during the day...

with restaurants and little shops selling unique gifts..
from art galleries to furniture shops....

we finally settled for lunch at one of our favourite Indian restaurant 

we had lunch on banana leaf..

with lovely grilled tandoori and vegetables...

and an iced cold lime juice.

Happy T Tuesday!!

shine through.....

It brings me much joy when I 

sketch and paint one of my favorite flowers:

the Lotus..

and here's another piece with
mixed media...

"Reality, enlightenment or the divine must shine
through every moment or it is not genuine"
Jack Kornfield



Have a wonderful weekend and a happy PPF everyone!!
