For the Love of Blue and Pink

There is an old saying - good tea deserves a smart teapot, and people use pretty kettles to justify this saying. It is easy to get attracted to fine ceramic ware but getting hooked to blue ceramic ware is a special sort of love for many & I am no exception to it. This kettle was picked up at the first glance for its attractive irregular handle, its incredible intricate design & colour.

The colour Blue along with colour Pink is a great combination & along with some of my other blue table ware mixed in, both colours are used to give a tea scape of this nature, on a sunny day.

This Chinese porcelain tea pot has its own beauty and charm and can be used as a vase, if you take the lid off.

The beautiful pink flowers in bloom were picked up from the garden and went well with the scape. The Ixora flowers found in the tropical countries of the world, produce large clusters of tiny flowers in the summer with shades of white, deep red, pink, pale orange and yellow & they attract numerous butterflies and bees for the store of nectar in them

    1. Thanks for the advice Kathleen. I wasn't too sure, as to how to solve the problem, and it took me a while to figure it out. I have set the word verification option to 'No' in settings. Hope it works fine now.

      & Thank you for the lovely comment too :)

Diwali With Lights

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.

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch  

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
