Blissful Navratri

  For Hindus in particular this part of the year  is the best period as it is lined up with festivities in our calendar. 

Everyone knows the celebrations at home is always  all about the right decor, best invite, delicious menus and exchange of gifts with innovative gift wraps etc. Also bringing out the favorite table-wares  to the table is a part of it as if it is not now then when? Sharing here with you all a coffee table setting from the just concluded Navrathri celebration with festive goodies at our home. 

The nine day festival which symbolizes Good prevailing over Evil is celebrated with joy in most of the houses bringing the families and friends together. During the festival people revisit their roots by keeping Kolu at home. (display of dolls including Gods and Goddesses connected with Mythology,  traditions and culture.) 

As usual festivities start in dinning area and we serve our guests the traditional recipes  with love and warmth.

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...

Sage Green Spring Table:)))

  Hi there....Hope all are enjoying the season Spring. Beautiful to add touches of Spring colours to the decor. A table I created with the palette of  Sage Green table cloth and I defiantly feel the colour is for natural touch. Also pairing them with other soft hues brings sophistication with whatever you are working with. The droopy Plumeria flowers in a rustic green container added charm with the flickering candles for a relaxed time.   Please visit Our Hopeful Home Please visit Nap on the porch
