Countdown to a Century: Flashback and Peekforward!

We are going to be a 100 posts old soon! And this is the perfect poignant moment for us to flash back, and peek forward.

The poster above is a fantastic peek forward to the COUNTDOWN TO A CENTURY!!

To, all the posts that are in the offing, those celebrate the

TRUE SPIRIT OF AALAYAM!!

And here’s a flashback. At all the humbling feedback, comments and love we have received – just a tip of the iceberg over the course of the last year and …..94 posts!!!

I pause to say Thanks once again for letting Aalayam grow this big. Without your validation, we would not have come this far!

Love,

Supriya

Words to live by in the blogosphere! And that is exactly what is happening at Aalayam. A kindred spirit, who is also a fantabulous blogger - Priya, (Once Upon a Tea Time) reached out to Aalayam, to feature Deepa and I, our daily inspirations, our creative drivers and joie de vivre and of course get a sneak peek into our homes in her new Curated magazine!! 

Over hurried Whats App messages and long distance voice mail, Deepa and I reconnoitered to get our interviews ready, pictures scrubbed and profile shots "shot" to make it Curated ready!! We were supremely excited to be part of this venture because Curated is a veritable visual treat! Its fresh, sets a serious design tone with its boho-chic influences, and blazes the trail for all the bloggers in the business of self publishing. 

Priya, with a keen eye for design detail and a refreshing repertoire of verdant imagery punctuates Curated with oomph, style and tons of inspiration. 

Here are some snippets from our interviews and home tours on Curated. Peek into the magazine feature a lil, here, but make sure you click on this link to read the whole story!

Thank you for the immensely flattering showcase Priya. This project was a privilege for Aalayam. And tons of fun for Deepa and ME.  

Love,
Supriya
