Happy New Year!!!

Hi and Hello there.....
Now that the year end comes near and time has come to bid a peaceful good-bye to 2013, Let's welcome a healthier, happier and more prosperous 2014.

There is so much to look forward to, so many things to do and many memories waiting to be made in 2014. Year 2013 has been a happy blogging year for me and lots of lessons were learnt.

I am happy to share here, my New years Tablescape including an angel made with fresh flowers & a recipe for egg-nog.

The table is a mix palette of gold, silver and lilac. It is fun to place a small  alarm clock inside a transparent coffee kettle that would go off at 12 o'clock..

    It never ceases my wonder the way the light play with your creations, Sujatha.
    I love it!
    And your holliday setting and mine - and we're so far from eachother - have several coincidences like the silver poinsettias. And I'm borroing the masks details for future settings - add a fun touch. Italian like. Definetky going for it.
    Happy New Year Sujatha! May it be a blessed one for you and your loved ones.

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...

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...
