A Holiday Mood Table...:):)

Summer tables capes are at play on everyone's blog - Inspired by the fun and frolics, I decided on a holiday mood scape for this week. Sometimes you don't need to leave your home or town to take a breather. Instead it can be an absolute pleasure in combining a delicious meal with your own table setting. A distinctive dinning experience with close friends and family can be a glamorous one.

Visiting beaches gives one a unique feeling - finding and collecting shells from the sand is fun too. I like saving these shells so they can be used whenever the moment is right.

Presenting a beach scape here with the mix of blue, white and splashes of pinks to go with the season and environment.

I loved the idea of using my deep sea blue Indonesian depression glassware for the setting, as I think the use of glassware for dinning  has become ever more imaginative in recent years. The glassware are beautiful and versatile and have an ethereal beauty to them.

 I enjoyed doing this scape with three different center pieces along with the shells I had collected over the years.  India being a peninsular country with beaches all around one get the opportunity to fill the bags with shells.

 Thank you for your visit and. Hope you like it... & Wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July .. :):):)

    This is such a clever post! You have made a table look completely different with the mere switch of the centerpiece! The first one with the daisies is perfect for this time of year! The explosion of blooms reminds me of the fireworks exploding in the skies on the 4th of July. Still it is very dainty and delicate and feminine. The addition of the seashells adds to the organic feel. I really like the centerpiece using the kissing dolphins, too. (Or maybe they're just hugging!) The last one with the lantern is really pretty for an evening meal. VERY nice!!!!!!!

    I hope you enjoy your weekends sifting for seashells. How wonderful that must be! I live right smack dab in the center of the United States, so there are no seashells to be found here. :-(

    Thank you for sharing your talent with us again, Sujatha! Have a wonderful weekend!!!

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...

Coffee in the Bedroom

The bedroom, the place where we spend one-third of our life, is a special place indeed and it holds all the beautiful possibilities that we wake up to early in the morning. Enjoying coffee in bed along with reading the newspaper is something one looks forward to & it is a wonderful feeling after a hard days work too. Like many I love the smell and taste of coffee made from a Peculator, and it is also easy and quick to prepare coffee with. Having coffee in bed, along with breakfast on a Sunday morning makes you feel fresh, something that every heart would wish for. Presenting a coffee scape from my bedroom on an early Sunday morning & enjoy your cuppa. Please do visit Cusine Kathleen Please do visit A Delightsome LIfe
