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. Deepavali, the festival of lights, even to this day, projects the rich and glorious past of our country and teaches us to uphold the true values of life. THE FLICKERING LIGHT OF A FLAME IS TRULY MAGICAL. SCENTED POTPOURRI AND NATURALLY DRIED LEAVES ADD TO THE OCCASION. GO AHEAD AND CREATE AN INVITING DECOR FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO ADD TO THE FESTIVE SPIRIT A WINDOW LEDGE TRANSFORMED WITH THE ONSET OF THE FESTIVE FERVOUR.THIS IS A WINDOW DRESSING FOR DIWALI CREATE AND TRANSFORM THE SPACE AND LEAVE AN EPHEMERAL IMPRINT THE RUSTIC AND ETHNIC LOOK OF THE LAMPS. LOTUS BUDS ADD TO THE BEAUTY.
I love all of the bright summery colors in your tablescape. My eyes are tasting the cherries and the melon as I am looking at your lovely vivid pictures. Nice job of meeting Kathleen's challenge.

Love all the colors!. And the smiling salt and pepper shakers. :D Very festive!
ReplyDeleteSUJATHA!!!!!!!! Oh, Sujatha...this is so pretty! I'm so glad you took us out onto your beautiful and very, very spacious patio area! It's so lovely! You've got so many different plants out there, and it's just an oasis! Your table is right at home amongst all the greenery!
ReplyDeleteThe fruit skewers are so fun! What a great idea! Not only are they great for guests to eat, but they bring the color up off the table in a fun, whimsical and very unique fashion. Very cool!!!
I'm just looking at all the fresh fruits you have laid out on the table, and it boggles the mind! Those look like Rainier cherries. Those are VERY expensive here. I think I saw them at the store for about $8 per lb. the other day, so I just waved at them and kept wheeling my shopping cart right on past! :-) And are those figs? So nice!
All of the fun figurines and the very happy plates really lend to the whimsical part of this table. You did a terrific job!!!
Have a beautiful weekend, and take care!
Love the tablescape with your pretty tablecloth and sunshine dishes but love the magnificent outdoor setting even more!
