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!!!

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...

Festive Give Away:)))

  Season Fall is to arrive soon and the season has its own charm in providing us with plenty of seasonal specials. Oranges are best during Fall and they last from beginning of Fall to end of Winter. In our garden plenty of Calamondin oranges started to appear and the fresh smell of the citrus in the air so soothing.  Plucked few of them and made marmalade from the ripen oranges for the morning toast. Also a good idea to make marmalade when the oranges are plenty, fill them in cute little bottles,tie with a ribbon/card and gift it when there is a Fall party or for Thanks giving & festive occasions. Its easy and quick to make and my way of preparing the recipe is given right here.  Cut the calamondin orange to half, remove the pulp and the skin separately. While removing the pulp take away the seeds. Squeeze out the juice from the pulp using a thin cloth . Cut the skin to thin stripes.  Put a heavy bottom pan on the stove and keep on low flame. (For one glass of ju...
