A COLD COMFORT SCAPE


Summer has arrived with a bang and it's unbearable as the mercury soars up/ The heat literally drives a person crazy .It's time for everyone to keep the heat at bay & to stay cool by refreshing oneself with soothing Sorbets, chilled Fruit Juices , Iced Tea and Coffee, Buttermilk Lassi or Cold Soups.

An added bonus to a harried humid day is by creating a ideal cool off nook table scape with fresh flowers, fruits & cold drinks in tall glasses. The setting can be fun and chill and transform a hot chaotic summer day into a comforting calm day.








                    

I used a beautiful white shell as a vase and arranging it with home grown cherry tomatoes and pink flowers.

    Oh my friend, your photos look right out of a magazine..you are a talented photographer!! Those red sherbets are making me want one, although the climate here is very rainy, as is our rainy season, April and May. I love the big shell arranged with your home tomatoes, it's gorgeous!! I'm glad you're back Sujatha, I've been missing you! Now I'm with my G'girls..8 and 6 and we're having fun, although it is a lot of work. Big hugs,
    FABBY

    Beautiful! The shell "vase" is a great idea - and adds wonderful shape and texture to your soothing, cool tablescape. Nicely done!

200th post at Crystal Grandeur!

This is my 200th post at Crystal Grandeur!  As a profound blogger it is a moment of joy for me as well.   It has been a wonderful journey all along.  Crystal Grandeur blossomed in November 2011 with Diwali & Christmas decors and it is my small world where my imagination and creations comes to reality.  I admire some of the blogs crossing 400+ posts. I appreciate and thank them for influencing others to do the same.  Speaking of my love for decors and styling I enjoy exploring different aesthetics and incorporate them in my decors and tablescapes. It helps me to keep moving forward  with new and fresh ideas  and doesn't let me be stagnant to one particular style.    For a nostalgia kick i share with you all... my delightful moments at Crystal Grandeur. Receiving appreciation for your creation in the form of comments always touches ones heart. (Sharing some of my past posts sweet comments posted by dear readers from across...

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.

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...
