A Sparkling Tablescape for Diwali


It is a known fact that the celebration of Diwali is truly a time for fun, delicious food and get togethers. Sparkling table scapes go along well with the nature of festivity. The festivity inspired me to do a tablescape for my blog. The dinner set used here is gift from my warm and fun loving friend Laila. It is a beautiful La Opala set of Indian make with lovely floral prints & subtle colours. 

It is proven fact that colours have mood altering effects & I used the red sheet as a base to highlight the beauty of the plates, swan, and the candle stand. The beautiful smoky petal sherbet glasses with a pinkish tinge is an old buy. The white and red combination go hand in hand for a festive celebration and I enjoyed doing this scape.

Thank You for your visit :):)

    Hello! What a pretty Diwali setting!!! I was not familiar with the celebration until last year when I read about it on Sanghamitra's blog. I Googled it to read up on it a little more and found it to be so interesting! (It even inspired me to try my own hand at a table that celebrated Diwali that I posted a couple of months ago!) You have created such a pretty table in celebration of Diwali, and I really love all the little details you have included. Those shimmery candle lamps are absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the way the candlelight all around illuminates the swan! Very pretty, Sujatha!

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...

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...
