I  brought out my heirloom  pieces for this post to use them for three different decor styles. 

Havenly, an online interior design house encouraged me to share my old world charm decor with lot of memories attached.







      A old Bonsai tree tells it's story of growing in that little pot. 



The tiny little wooden box with fine work of ivory carvings on the lid is more than sixty years old and given to me by my mother. For the teascape i used it as a tea sachet holder.Placing it on a old book looked pretty. The book which is sixty five years old from my father's collection of books. 

The money box from my in laws home is quiet old ( Eighty plus years) as well. Using it for a bar decor on a side board created an eye catching display. The divided space inside the money box allowed the bar  accessories like the cocktail shaker, measuring cups, cork opener, bottle opener and a Swiss knife to fit in. The round old mirror with the brass edge( 30 years) a old buy of us came handy to place the decanters. As a kid my hubby has played with the money box putting coins & little toys. 











        The English make cork opener not less than 90 years old









The pretty sandalwood jewelry box with fine work of Taj Mahal impression a class apart . It speaks by itself  the Indian craftsmanship. Dear to us and it is more than eighty years old. It is handed over to us from my in laws home.  



            The pretty silver box quiet a beauty on a dressing table.  



                        I used a vintage bottle as a brush holder.

  2. Hi there! Oh, I agree with you about rummaging through cupboards and closets to rediscover hidden treasures that have been out of sight/out of mind! We all have cool items stashed away that can come to the rescue when we're seeking a change of pace. Instead of running out and buying all new, it's a more creative gesture to build from what we already have. It's tough for me to do, but we otherwise end up with a whole store in our home!!! 😆 You do such a nice job of combining the old and treasured (like that 80-year-old jewelry box!!!) with the new.

    Have a great weekend, my friend!

  4. Treasures are always hidden in closets, boxes, drawers, etc. You are right my friend, memories are the best that things bring us from family gone as much as family here with us. What a beautiful post you created with your gorgeous memorabilia. I love the old lovely jewelry box my friend, it is a real treasure from your mom.
    Hugs,

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion.

Teascape with Marigolds:)

Few days from now it's time to welcome & celebrate season Spring with natures design & colors in decors. The colorful flowers, fruits and vegetables with their skin tones & herbs of Spring are a delight and in adding them in day to day styling.  Have you ever fell in love with Marigold flowers? Well if you haven't it's time for you to do so. A bucket full of warm yellow frilled golden blooms in the garden genuinely made me happy and fall in love with it. The pretty blooms are a joy to behold in one's eye. A teas cape against the nods of  the golden blossoms and the tangerine evening sky say it all. The evening sky was getting ready to welcome ' Super Blue Blood Moon' a rare cosmic show by moon the 2018 Lunar eclipse. Wonderful to set an table just before the phenomenon. Also few bright yellow cherry tomatoes resembling to beads and the fragile carrot leaves straight from pots make it a  tranquil display.  I hope this Pre-Spring  garden setting at
