Happy Thursday and more importantly Happy One Year of 3 Things Thursday! When we started this link up it was to share the little things in life that we loved: a new flavor of tea that we tried, the amazing lip gloss that we found, a song that we couldn’t stop singing or a new recipe we tried that everyone loved. We often wanted to share little bits of life with our readers, an entire blog post wasn’t warranted but didn’t want you to miss out either! That’s when 3 Things Thursday was created!
If you’ve been following along for the last year you’ve seen us grow as a community and make connections with fellow bloggers. Thank you for making those relationships with us, linking up and sharing peeks of you lives.
In celebration of our one year link up anniversary all three of your hosts (Raj, Salma & myself) are hosting a giveaway. All you have to do is enter below for a chance to win all three of our hand picked prizes. Oh and because it’s 3 Things Thursday, here are the 3 things we chose for the giveaway:

Nisha:
“As most of you have come to know I have a soft spot for childhood memories and Indian culture. Whether it be food, fashion or decor; I love when there is a little touch of ‘desi’ in the things I love most. For the giveaway I’m giving away a hand carved rehal (book stand) made from Kashmiri wood. I have fond memories of my Nanima (maternal grandmum) resting the Ramayana on it while reading stories to me. Because of its intricate detail I adore the idea of this being a kitchen showpiece – a place to rest and display your favorite cookbook or even just use while cooking when you have to flip through pages. Hoping this little part of me will make your everyday cooking routine more enjoyable.”
Raj:
“I’m an old fashioned girl and I love writing putting pen to paper when jotting down my thoughts, making to-do lists, or trying my hand at poetry – so a notebook is my contribution to the one year giveaway for 3 Things Thursday! This notebook is extra special because I picked up from a little shop outside of Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, and it is completely handmade {and pink of course!} The pen was a find from the Amer Fort in Jaipur, and I think it’s the perfect little accessory for a desi girl. I hope the winner will enjoy penning some personal thoughts in this notebook – and who knows she might even find a special little note inside!”
Salma:
“For a first anniversary, the traditional gift is usually paper. Now I highly doubt that anyone would be excited to win paper. But then I thought, books! Not only are they made of paper, we love books in our house. Growing up, I was what someone would call, a “bookworm.” I couldn’t get enough of reading, now my kids love reading and I’m happy to share that with all of you! One lucky reader will get a gift card to a bookstore. If you’re Canadian, the gift card will be for Chapters. If you’re American, than it will be for Barnes & Noble. Happy Reading!”

Can’t believe it’s been a year!
It has been a tough year for my family, and the best thing that happened this week was my dad’s sister getting a US visa and booking her trip to NY!
Looking forward to the Brother + Sister reunion!
My favourite thing that happened this week is that most of the snow in my yard melted.
