Teas cape with shrivelled mums:)

Sharing a evening tea setting with half dried flowers of mums. Chrysanthemums/mums are beautiful at this time of the year and are planted for their beauty. We had them in four pots which bloomed beautifully and lasted for quiet sometime. The stems were removed from the plant when they started to wilt and was kept aside. The bunch looked so pretty and wild to look at and never felt like hurling them away. A evening teas cape was done with half dried mums and loved capturing these shots with candle light. Flowers express themselves beautifully in every stage from bud to half bloom to full bloom and the beauty is found even when they are shrivelled.

How to make Pineapple bowl/boat for salad display:)

Hi & Hello there... Hope everyone in process of packing up the Christmas decors and putting them into the boxes. All my Christmas decors been removed and are back into the storage . Felt little hard while removing them. Twelve more months to get them back to the scene. So let's wait 😊 for the days to come meanwhile there are other occasions to look forward to play around with decors. Already a week passed in this new year, wonder how time flies. Enjoyed creating nice decors and table settings last year for festivities, blog posts and looking forward for the same this year as well.There is a wedding on the way too.So lot more in store in the coming weeks to get into action.

Also in blog-sphere starting this year with a happy note to mention my blog post 'Christmas day look of our home' has been the most viewed of the week at Pink Saturday blog. Indeed a wonderful feeling. Thank you Beverly for sharing it.

There are few pretty blooms in the garden for me to use them for a post. Did a table styling with pineapple bowl/boat, filling them with cut cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red pepper & pineapple pieces. Easy to do it and displaying them on a party table will look attractive.

How to make:

Cut the pineapple into half with a sharp knife (take care of your fingers) with the leaves on top. Trim the leaves a bit and scoop out the fruit making it to hollow shell. Fill with desired cut fruits, veggies and dressing and place it on a cut board or on a plate.

Coffee Table Setting :))

Once again the new calendar year have come and all of us look forward to the new year with hope for finer things. Like the past again we look upon to moments where we felt joyful, supported, encouraged, enlighten and loved. Therefore let us create those moments in this new year too moving forward with fresh enthusiasm. Also let us continue to believe in us and do things what we love to do the most, creating a better self , better life and be thankful to the Lord.
