Welcoming Autumn witha a Infusion:))


     Herbal infusions, often known as herbal teas are not only taken to treat specific ailments but sometime soothing to have it on a chilly day too. They also make delicious and healthy alternatives to tea or coffee for regular drinking during day or after meals. Herbal teas have a wide range of flavors and it is worth experimenting to discover a mix you enjoy. Fresh herbs may be dried at home for making tea and also ready made teabags are available at health food stores. 

    Here is a teas cape to infuse to have Chamomile infusion. Chamomile tea is very relaxing and soothing. Sometime some feel the taste is unpalatable but combining it with standard Indian tea is good.  

   Infusions can be made from a single herb or from combination of herbs and may be taken hot or cold. Best is to make from fresh herbs by placing the herbs on a muslin square and tie it into small bundle with a string. Parts of the herbs that can be used for infusion are leaves, flowers and most aerial parts (dried or fresh).  

   Here the color combination of the tea-scape are truly colors of Fall with dark shade tea kettle & plates, pair of owls, lantern  and a Orange Pumpkin. Glowing candle looks pretty as it say the days are becoming shorter.

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. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch  

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
