Visit to Summitwynd Farm lavender festival in Massachusetts




     

There is a charming thing about summer when you visit flower fields, especially lavender. Hot summer days slowly turn into a subtle and calm breeze of air when you see rows of lavender, it's a delightful feeling. This week we visited Summitwynd lavender farm in Massachusetts about 1 and 1/2 hours from my state CT and 30 miles from Boston, Massachusetts. 






There are 4,000 lavender plants and more than 20 varieties of lavender in a beautiful location in the backdrop of lush greenery of Wachusett mountain and the soft fragrance of lavender is a wonderful experience. You can visit the farm for a festival or anytime. With the live music and exhibitions with unique vendors, you can collect art pieces, pottery to dream catcher, and several opportunities to take photographs or just stroll in a summer afternoon with your family or friends. You can pick fresh lavenders too, and there is a cute gift shop you can buy lavender plants to soap to one-of-a-kind goodies to do with lavender. 








A few facts in a snippet 
1. Buy the ticket earlier and online prior to your visit as tickets are available online only
2. Weekends hours are different and less than weekday hours.
3. You can absolutely bring children too they will enjoy visiting

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.
