Potluck: A Summer Table Decor ...


Potlucks are here for us as blessing in disguise and are fun when everyone gets into the act of carrying one dish to a pot luck gathering. 

One can make a potluck tablescape interesting by using contrasting cheerful colors of the summer & by ensuring that the entire ware along with other things on the table blend together as a unit - Like the mix of the varied menu. 

Speaking of Pot luck dinners, lunch or high tea - They can be arranged among a large group or a small intimate group with a menu left to chance or planned, whilst being formal & sophisticated or casual too. It is customary for the host to provide the main dish while the guests bring complimentary dishes to round out the menu.

By making a relaxing moment for yourself and others with less work & stress, one can enjoy a nice meal with a functional table decor, knitting the guests together, when everyone gets in to the act of serving and sharing.

Hope your next gathering will be a Potluck Party with your near and dear ones :) :)






















This beautiful flower would make a poet out of a person, even if they aren't one.


Candles arranged with The Royal Poinciana flowers, also called Gulmohar in India, lighten up the table just as they flame up the streets when they are in full bloom.







Just like the combination of White & Red on the Table, these flowers created by God come with the same contrasting colours. Amazing.

The word Deepavali stems from the Sanskrit words, Deepa meaning ‘Light’ and Avali meaning ‘Row’. It means a row of lights and illumination is undoubtedly its main attraction.

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch  

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M
