The indefatigable member volunteers at Assistance League® Thrift Shop, located next to the Park Theater in Lafayette, are busily preparing for the approaching Asian Event, scheduled to begin Tuesday, April 15, at 10 a.m. Due to a cavalcade of donations, it is impossible to display the complete inventory on any given day.

Asian interior design is heavily influenced by philosophy, history and natural elements specific to Eastern Asia. Colors that reflect joy and good fortune offer an elevated look. While hints from Nature offer a sense of balance and harmony, shape and arrangement also play significant roles. You might peruse related articles that further describe Asian attributes

This year’s inventory includes a selection of vases, hand-painted silk, display platters and porcelain statues. A return visit might be called for; in that, you might introduce each item separately to your living space.
