The best wedding gift!

when we got married my Aunt Elizabeth
and Uncle Brad were living in India
at the time...and wanted to have
a custom bed spread and curtains made for our wedding gift!!
she asked what colors I would like for 
the bed spread and curtains.
She sent me a tons of fabric pieces and I 
could not decide..there were
so many beautifully hand stamped fabrics and colors.
So I let her decide, and I am so glad I did!
It is made from PURE silk!
It is ethically woven and stitched..
the design is completely custom...
nobody else in the world has 
anything that is the same...The beautiful women's group that
she was part of helped her design the block
print, and they also helped print it.
The design is very Indian and I am
obsessed!
I have never put the bed spread on our bed, for
fear of it getting too worn.
I want to find an old ladder
and drape the folded bed spread over one
of the rungs, so
we can see it everyday without wearing it out.
This gift was the inspiration for the colors
I have thru out most
of our house, and most of my wardrobe.
I love it sooo much!!!
