Table for a Snow Day


Bonjour

 It has been a wonderful week for me with many nice happenings. Sunday the 20th was my birthday and I received wishes from my near & dear ones. This is my 50th post for my blog Crystal Grandeur. Another pleasant surprise  seeing my 'Horse Drawn Memories' post getting featured in Marty's (A Stroll Thru Life) 150th  party features. Being in a happy mood & with Valentines Day around the corner, I present this tables cape about a winter love story.

 The name Paris conjures up images of Beauty, Love, Romance, Perfume, Wine, Cheese, Fashion, Art, Movies, Architecture, A teeming night life, Sidewalk Coffee Cafes, Tree lined boulevards, French Cuisine, A boat ride on the river Seine (There exists a a belief that a kiss under an old bridge makes your wish come true.), the Eiffel Tower, Moulin Rouge & so  many to mention. For many, Paris is a dream destination, and for those that have visited this wonderful place, there is a yearning to go back 

The crisp air of incredible Paris is filled with Romance and Love. We have read stories and seen movies where young men and women, express words from their heart, for a life time commitment, in gay parie :) Though we don't experience snow here at the city of Chennai (Madras), a city so close to the equator, my heart always desired to do a snow tables cape. I'm glad I got an opportunity to do one for Cuisine Kathleen's Snow Winter Table Challenge. This scape is about a young man with a bouquet of flowers waiting near the Eiffel tower on a snow filled day to meet & propose to his beloved. 

It is a romantic table for two on a snow and love filled day in Paris. Hope you all like it....

    How did I miss this post??!?!?!? I missed your birthday!!! :-( :-( :-( I feel terrible!!! Happy Belated Birthday to you, dear Sujatha! And this post....so romantic!!!!!!! I have never been to Paris (or anywhere in Europe!), but I think about the romance of it. All the places you named would be so neat to see, and I would LOVE for my husband to kiss me under an old bridge so our wishes could come true! Your tablescape fits right in with the magic and romance of Paris! And the photo of you and your beloved.....SO SWEET!!!!!!! I hope you enjoy a wonderfully romantic and exciting Valentine's Day...and that you get kissed whether you're under a bridge or not! :-)

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

Falling in Love with Fall

Learning is always the best thing to do in life. To learn all about fall and the things associated with this time of year was informative and enjoyable. Fall can be romantic and poetic with the change of colours & with the first frost and falling leaves. The season is all about the display of colors in nature & about fruits like Plump Pumpkins, Red Berries, Nuts, Ornamental Gourds, Rosy Pomegranates, along with Apples, Pears, decorative coloured cabbage & pretty-frilled leaves. Other things include welcoming wreaths, sturdy baskets, potpourri, wooden trugs, pottery bowls jugs, pitchers & terracotta pots.Copper and brass add charm to the season. Colours most used in Fall include burnt orange, green, golds, browns, reds, pinks, rich mauves and so on. I have given a finishing touch to this corner with the elements of Fall and it looked beautiful.                                      Thank you for your visit:):)
