RED SAGA SEEDS AND MANGO WOOD

3/2/2016

1 Comment

 
A few years ago, I happened across a store in Holland Road Shopping centre, here in Singapore, selling some amazing Mango Wood items, vases, bowls, candle holders and lamps,  which I thought were really unusual and unique.  But the thing that caught my eye the most, were the red saga seeds that were used as an accent, to add a pop of colour to the displays.  I ended up buying a small candle holder, together with some saga seeds,  just as I had seen it on display in the store.  Over the years a few people have asked me in particular about these Saga Seeds, or "love seeds" as they are also known, wanting to know where I bought them.

I have been taking Mosaic classes this past year with my friend Tammy at Mosaic Society, and used some saga seeds in a mosaic project.  I am thinking about using them again in another project, so I thought I would head back to Holland Village to see if the store was still there in the hopes I could buy more.

Thankfully, the store was still there on the 3rd floor of the Holland Road Shopping centre, and I was warmly greeted by the owner, Ms. Ramzan.

A word of warning, the seeds are actually quite toxic, so you obviously must not eat them and should keep them away from small children and pets.   They are a beautiful decorative accent though, which I love, love, love.
