I love this table! I visited it for months at Pondicherri in Sequim, taking measurements, going home and measuring my couch and living room setup, hoping against hope that it would somehow fit. At one point I thought I’d have to get a new couch just to accommodate that wonderful antique coffee table. My husband was convinced it would not fit and advised me to forget about it. I couldn’t. I continued to visit. I even brought friends with me. One friend went home with me and we worked all one evening moving furniture around in my living room to see if we could make it fit. I decided we could. Tamara, the lifesaver, suggested we bring the coffee table that was destined to be mine home on approval. I could bring it back if it didn’t work. Maybe I should call her Tamara the magician. She knew what I didn’t. Once I got it in my living room it wasn’t going to go anywhere else!

It didn’t. It sits there in front of my couch as if it grew there. I love it. Something about it speaks to me. It is old, probably at least 150 years, and was most likely a door in another life in India. That’s what makes it so special to me -- the idea of all the people down through the years who passed through it, going about their lives. I am connected to them somehow.

Thank you, Tamara, and Pondicherri!!

I recently moved to my precious new nest
and needed a beautiful, fresh place to rest
While shopping in Sequim
from Port Townsend one day
Your magical storefront appeared on the way

My selections were vibrant
the colors so lush
the boudoir was transformed
from “ho-hum” to PLUSH!

My mom and my sisters
came across on the ferry
and begged me to take them
to sweet PONDICHERRI!

Napkins and cloths
Pillows and shams
All beautifully crafted
from faraway lands

Our bags were all brimming
with unique gifts galore
for Family and Friends
who are sure to want more!

So now when I drive
Highway 101 West,
my little truck knows
that we’re on a Great Quest

To satisfy Beauty
and Function
and Fun,
There is no doubt at all --
PONDICHERRI’S THE ONE!!

Your reversible silk jacket is a favorite in my wardrobe. Whenever I wear it, I get lots of compliments on it.  It is like having two jackets in one - Brown on one side and Turquoise on the other.  I always feel "put together" when I have it on.
The "shell" purse was purchased at the same time and complements both side of the jacket.   I adore shells, and could not resist this unique bag.
Sequim is so fortunate to have Pondicherri, and shopping online is great!
Thanks so much
