Horse Drawn Memories

Time and the fragrance of seasons bring back sweet memories of the past .. Memories which feature walks down the seaside, cycling around the lake on misty mornings or the rain, picnics and other memories too many to mention.

The cold foggy mornings of January remind me of taking a drive to the race course for the horse riding lessons that my son took as a young boy. There is certain charm in spending time near beautiful and gentle horses and surely you will agree that the sound of the gallop is the thing of beauty. 

Spending time near the gentle beasts while having breakfast was always fun and enjoyable with the family. I am sharing with you a tablescape which features my little porcelain pony dolls and a lot of sweet memories of the past.






Those yellow fruits perched on the Smiley faced mug aren't in fact fruits. No, they aren't lemons or calamondin oranges, they are in fact Aubergines which turned yellow, because I forget to pluck them in time and so they over ripened. The porcelain pony doll is on a horse shoe I found on one of my visits.























Hope you have a happy smiley day :):):)

  14. Your table is a pleasure to see on such a very cold day as we are having today. The sunny colors are very pretty and just what I need to brighten up this winter's day. You and I must have been thinking alike, because my table vignette that Marty featured was all about memories, too. I like the way you told the story behind the memories.

Diwali With Lights

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. Deepavali, the festival of lights, even to this day, projects the rich and glorious past of our country and teaches us to uphold the true values of life.    THE FLICKERING LIGHT OF A FLAME IS TRULY MAGICAL. SCENTED POTPOURRI AND NATURALLY DRIED LEAVES ADD TO THE OCCASION.    GO AHEAD AND CREATE AN INVITING DECOR FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO ADD TO THE FESTIVE SPIRIT   A WINDOW LEDGE TRANSFORMED WITH THE ONSET OF THE FESTIVE FERVOUR.THIS IS A WINDOW DRESSING FOR DIWALI   CREATE AND TRANSFORM THE SPACE AND LEAVE AN EPHEMERAL IMPRINT THE RUSTIC AND ETHNIC LOOK OF THE LAMPS. LOTUS BUDS ADD TO THE BEAUTY.

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
