A Table with bit of Joy&Sorrow!!!

     After slipping into a small mourning break for the loss of a elderly uncle in the family I am back to my favorite zone. I wanted the mourning days to pass quietly as it is a known fact, not to get indulge in any kind of happy moments or activities except pray for the soul to rest in peace. :((((
   Well...as the saying goes that happiness comes in many forms and today I share my happiness with you all by expressing it for the milestone of CG.  Six years have gone by and Crystal Grandeur manifests it's 250th post.
   Sharing my passion and spending time for the blog on table-settings, on decors, on recipes, gardening and on write -ups all together  a total experience and a pure delight for me. Blogroll.... a space to get inspire and to inspire. A big plus of being surrounded by talented and energetic bloggers that turned fellow bloggers into friends and friends into blogging family. With responsibilities, with demand of time and with the never ending story of house hold work....here is the place & an opportunity for me to share my interest in a most meaningful way. As well tower of joy to do so. I thank everyone for the constant visit and for readership at CG that motivates my return to do more and do well. 
  When it comes to laying a table for a milestone eventuality we give in extra care & touch to bring out the best.  I chose a plain glassware set from my collection and a white cake inscribed with name on top 'Crystal grandeur' to  adore with which I wish to share my happiness & observance. Also happy to dedicate this table to the departed soul who was in all means a Father figure to the entire family and his caring gesture & affectionate words sure to endmost with us.

  3. Oh, Sujatha...I am so very sorry about your uncle! It always woulds so deeply when we lose someone who has been an important part of our life. I completely understand your need to step away from social media for awhile to reflect and take time to mourn. May God bless and rest his soul, as well as bring those who loved him peace.

    250 posts??!?!??!! Oh, my goodness!!! Congratulations, Sujatha!!!!!! You have been a very busy person over the last few years with all these wonderful posts! I love your thoughts on how time has turned "bloggers into friends and friends into blogging family." How very true. And how incredibly sweet of you to be such a strong link in that chain of friendship. I have greatly enjoyed our long distance friendship over the years!

  4. Hello Sujatha, my condolences in the loss of your uncle. And congratulations on your blog milestone. Quite impressive! This table is stunning. I love the white and clear glass with just a touch of color in those yummy strawberries. The cake is beautiful. My favorite photo is the one before the very last one, the one that captures the candlelit table in the room. Really, really lovely.

Diwali With Lights

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.

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
