Buttonwood Farm Sunflower festival and noble cause in Connecticut

"Light-enchanted sunflower, thou
Who gazest ever true and tender
On the sun's revolving splendour." Pedro Calderon de la Barca









I have been a sunflower adherent but not as much until I saw the Buttonwood sunflower farm. Tucked away from the claustrophobic city, this serene scene of sunflowers in quint town Griswold, thousands of sunflowers blooming in 14 acres of land is surreal. About 50 miles away from the capital of CT, Hartford this picturesque farm enhanced with meadows and barn houses, historic stone walls and cows, and of course, farm-made ice cream also contributes towards a great cause. A bunch of fresh-cut sunflowers will cost you a $10.00 donation and 100% of the proceeding goes to  Sunflowers-For-Wishes for children with critical illnesses. If you happen to live nearby or visit this area make sure to witness this gorgeous farm and also contribute towards the noble cause. 
It was my pleasure to visit last weekend.  You can check Lavender Farm  and Rose Garden.

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able         A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that. A piece of jewelry not just enhances the wearer's beauty but identity as well.       A land of flamboyant rivers engulfed in exotic flora and fauna, birds, musical instruments Assamese jewelry is highly inspired by that. Sharing a few assamese pieces of jewelry from my personal collection.       An Assamese bride's dress up is incomplete without Assamese jewelry. Traditionally Assamese jewelry is purely handmade. The main frame is made out with 24-carat gold and lac is used as a filling material. Stones are studded on the top.  The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid jus...

Bartaco, West Hartford , Connecticut review

It was a usual February day, the chill felt like tucking in the furry comforter and stay cozy at home. But, the matter of the fact was that it was my birthday  and my family wanted me to take out for dinner. I was reluctant and wanted to stay at home. My little one was after me and I couldn't say no. I had no clue where we were heading for dinner and then here we were at the Bartaco. Vivacious Bartaco instantly took away my winter sluggishness. With a gracious greeting, modern contemporary laid back sitting and a bit of hustle and bustle made me alive in the winter freezing February. The high ceiling, ivory walls, earthy light shades stroked a tropical vibe and the food spoke a lot about Mexico and Latin America. As a sober, I chose housemade pomegranate lemonade and hubby got grapefruit ginger juice. I never had pomegranate lemonade before, I must say it was one of the coolest and refreshing lemonade I have ever had. The tint of lemonade not just took the look but ...
