Getting ready for Diwali...

(Mysore Palace, India on Diwali)

This is the time for my favorite festival
The festival of light and wealth...Deepawali
also known as Diwali
As we get ready to celebrate the festival,
let me share with you some inspiration...


Light up your nooks and corners using lotus paper lights, diyas (votive) and tea lights



Welcome Goddess Lakshmi into your abode by making beautiful rangoli designs with color and flowers


And why leave the table layout untouched? Take out your best glassware, and your grandmom's Kansa (bell metal) table setting! Add in some banana leaves, marigold flower and floating tea lights...And yes, don't forget the feast...including the mithai (sweets)!

Touches that add to the diwali decor


And some inspiration for how a contemporary home could look like, in a traditional setting on Diwali. I love the shloka (mantra) table with floating flowers in an urn. Bring out your brightest cushions and bedlinen...and this Diwali you have the perfect excuse to flaunt any textile which has even a hint of gold or copper!

In another two days, I will share with you images of my home on Diwali eve :-)

* Shubh Deepawali *

Some sleeping and some blogging...

Hello World! I am back :-)

Back from Boston
And a whirlwind trip to London
where I spent a great day with my sis and 92% brother-in-law
92% since the wedding is just round the corner ;-)

At London, I hearted
Habitat, Zara Home, Lush, Muji, Stables market at Camden
And,
Masala Coke at Masala Zone!

So much good work done at the workshop last week
with some (ahem..) shopping thrown in
(when I say 'some', that means that I had to pick up new luggage at Boston to fit everything in!)

And now,
I am soo glad to be back home!

With Diwali this week
(watch out for some pre-diwali and post diwali posts from me)

And my sis's wedding in another three weeks!
(will share some gorgeous wedding shopping in coming days and wedding snaps post the wedding)


Yes, I AM glad to be back... with you :-)
