Home made candle for Christmas:)))

 Hi ...how have you been this week. Was raining a lot for us here this week. Enjoyed the weather plus meeting up with school friends and savouring deli sh lunch with them in a restaurant. It was total fun.

 Right now the gist is about Christmas and i celebrate Christmas in my own way by making time for the things that makes the heart to twinkle. 

Last year at CG( crystal grandeur blog) there were quiet a bit of projects for Christmas on tables-caps, on wrapping gifts, creative wreaths, recipes, coffee table decors, etc. This year opted to do home made candles with unused ashtray glass wears. Making candles are always fun and a worth while project to get involved. Wonderful idea for gifting as well for the occasion. Making candles are easy and simple these days as materials are easily available in the market.

Made a square glass candle using refined paraffin granule wax,   lemon grass oil and spices like the anise seed, cloves and cinnamon sticks. 

A  table decor in our bay area with strawberry's and wine  with bottle brush white Christmas trees along with the candle looked charming.

How about spending your holiday evening in a bay area or on the porch with lit scented candles spreading the fragrance?Your gathering could be just for two or for more but it would leave a lasting memory for you.

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...

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...
