Navratri Moments

I am happy to be back and happy to share photos of the recently concluded Navrathri festival. It was a beautiful nine days and nine nights of celebration for me and my family.

Besides other aspects, the arrival of Goddesses Durga during Navrathri leads to an out burst of creativity in everyone's home. Young and old, everyone becomes an artist during the celebration, creating innovative images of Goddesses Durga and her family. There is no end to our imagination, as the goddess is adorned in beautiful attire during this time. The themes for Durga puja vary in different homes, from environmental awareness to fairy tales.

It is a wonderful thought, the notion that we are all part of this universe that the Almighty created. And through our creations, we pay a tribute to the Goddesses.

Other than dressing up the Goddesses, I also created a miniature rural landscape whose theme revolved around environmental awareness and the importance of trees and forests. Thank you for your visit, your comments are welcome..:)

    Photo 12 reminds me of our more traditional Nativity Scenes (cribs) that we display in our homes on Christmas. It makes me think that all religions aren't so different after all.
    And the spurt of creativity is also shared in my religion.
    So sweet to witness your ways.
    Thank you for sharing Dear Friend,
    Teresa

Summer table with Lilies:))

A few drops of rain, a few whiffs of breeze could make a garden bloom. How true are these lines. Last weeks a sudden down pour saw a grand parade of yellow and white lilies blooming  in our garden. Lilies are  summer favorites. Although this particular variety stay bloomed for shorter time arranging them in a bowl for this weeks table scape  looked striking. Everyone knows wherever a few lilies stand they can still draw all eyes. For the table I used a hand painted floral motif  linen which is with me for almost seventeen years. I was happy to use it for the first time and it looked good on the table. While I loved creating this table at the same time felt quite bad to see the flowers dangling next day.      Please Visit Nap On The Porch Please Visit Home Sweet Home Please Visit Share you style Please Visit Clair justin Please Visit Rustic and Refied

200th post at Crystal Grandeur!

This is my 200th post at Crystal Grandeur!  As a profound blogger it is a moment of joy for me as well.   It has been a wonderful journey all along.  Crystal Grandeur blossomed in November 2011 with Diwali & Christmas decors and it is my small world where my imagination and creations comes to reality.  I admire some of the blogs crossing 400+ posts. I appreciate and thank them for influencing others to do the same.  Speaking of my love for decors and styling I enjoy exploring different aesthetics and incorporate them in my decors and tablescapes. It helps me to keep moving forward  with new and fresh ideas  and doesn't let me be stagnant to one particular style.    For a nostalgia kick i share with you all... my delightful moments at Crystal Grandeur. Receiving appreciation for your creation in the form of comments always touches ones heart. (Sharing some of my past posts sweet comments posted by dear readers from across...
