Black & White :))


This week has been good so far, and I have been preparing for the Navratri celebrations which will be starting next week.

It was nice to do a  scape for the week using the colour of the season. This is the first time I am using black and white wares with two different center pieces.

In a beautiful black and white bowl I put the fresh white lotus blooms and also used a Moroccan lantern as the two different centre-pieces.

Which centre-piece do you prefer??? I would love to hear from you.

    definitely prefer the white bowl with the beautiful Lotus blossoms the other choice is way to bland and doesn't do any thing for me very simple table design

    Hi, Sujatha! Either you have a really abundant garden, or your floral budget is endless because you always have such pretty flowers!!! I love the way you arranged the lotus blossoms in that bowl with them slightly draping over the sides! I also like the way you folded the napkin to mimic the drape and shape of the lotus blossoms. Very nice!

    As much as I like the floral arrangement as your centerpiece, I also really like the Moroccan lantern. It's beautiful! We have a store here in the U.S. called Z Gallerie that carries Moroccan lanterns in a variety of sizes and colors. I bought a couple of them in black a few years ago but have surprisingly never used them! I must rectify that, especially now that I see how pretty yours looks here! It casts off such pretty light onto the table.

    I hope you have a beautiful week!

The word Deepavali stems from the Sanskrit words, Deepa meaning ‘Light’ and Avali meaning ‘Row’. It means a row of lights and illumination is undoubtedly its main attraction. Deepavali, the festival of lights, even to this day, projects the rich and glorious past of our country and teaches us to uphold the true values of life.    THE FLICKERING LIGHT OF A FLAME IS TRULY MAGICAL. SCENTED POTPOURRI AND NATURALLY DRIED LEAVES ADD TO THE OCCASION.    GO AHEAD AND CREATE AN INVITING DECOR FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO ADD TO THE FESTIVE SPIRIT   A WINDOW LEDGE TRANSFORMED WITH THE ONSET OF THE FESTIVE FERVOUR.THIS IS A WINDOW DRESSING FOR DIWALI   CREATE AND TRANSFORM THE SPACE AND LEAVE AN EPHEMERAL IMPRINT THE RUSTIC AND ETHNIC LOOK OF THE LAMPS. LOTUS BUDS ADD TO THE BEAUTY.

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
