Crystal Grandeur

A few drops of rain, a few whiffs of breeze could make a garden bloom. How true are these lines. Last weeks a sudden down pour saw a grand parade of yellow and white lilies blooming  in our garden. Lilies are  summer favorites. Although this particular variety stay bloomed for shorter time arranging them in a bowl for this weeks table scape  looked striking. Everyone knows wherever a few lilies stand they can still draw all eyes. For the table I used a hand painted floral motif  linen which is with me for almost seventeen years. I was happy to use it for the first time and it looked good on the table. While I loved creating this table at the same time felt quite bad to see the flowers dangling next day.      Please Visit Nap On The Porch Please Visit Home Sweet Home Please Visit Share you style Please Visit Clair justin Please Visit Rustic and Refied

To our surprise this week there was a dip in temperature and we were caught in the sudden down pour of summer rains. Rain is always refreshing and brings cheers. With pleasant weather around, at times one becomes creative too. A rainy coffee table made in corner of the bed room brought in warmth to a chilly and a gloomy day. Bringing in the bone China floral plates along with the new  kettle set and a English antic porcelain cookie carry  box (usually used for picnics) which I picked long time ago from a antic bazaar gave the corner a cozy look with a candle lit on.     ...
