Summer out door table...:):)

Hi there....Today I am happy and thrilled to share Crystal Grandeur's 150th post. It's been a wonderful journey through blog land for the past three and a half years. The weeks at Crystal Grandeur were filled with fun projects, new topics(Travel, Festivals, Celebrations, Recipes, Decor, Gardening) and different table settings  which I'm glad everyone loved. Through every step I would wonder, "What's next?" and would then go on to make something which was liked and appreciated by many. Hope its been same for every other blogger who enjoys blogging. 

I wanted my 150th post to be  fun and colorful, a project that suited the season. Doing a table scape with an outdoor summer setting filled with cheery colors, chilled soft drinks, barbecue, pizza, ice cream and an ice bucket, made for a perfect post. 

I take one more opportunity to smile and say thanks to everyone for keeping me going at Crystal Grandeur.

I would love to hear about what you've thought about Crystal Grandeur, as its gone through its journey these past three and half years. 

In case you'd like to know how to make an Ice bucket, I have detailed the instructions here.

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...
