Celebration Invitation

In midst of a crazy work routine a surprise invitation card brought a smile to my face ... The invitation is from ISKON for Shivratri and Holi celebration ...I love the card design and the idea of reminding people in this busy world....As soon as I saw the card it brought nostalgic memories of India ..

A magent holds the invitation on the fridge and is a great inspiration for celebrations coming up...

Hope you all are getting excited and have lots of plans for these festivities....

Tea Love @ Niwas

There are two days in a year I really look forward too .. Valentine Day and My Birthday...of course they are special days ..however my reason of getting excited is something really different ....These are two days that my husband promises to make me a cup of Tea :) ...see the complexity is my husband doesn't drink tea ( I know all Tea Lovers are thinking WHAT!!!)....so he doesn't care of tea in morning or evening ....our first valentine together as a couple I asked him for one gift and that was that he will make me Tea ....I love a cup of tea on a Sunday morning ..however I only get pampered like that when my parents or in-laws are there .. with hubby its Vday and Bday
..
This year when I was looking for Vday card for him I came across this PERFECT card that I ordered from Cardstore.com and it said "I love you more than......" and I filled the blanks with "my morning tea" .....I kept smiling when I was ordering and love the way this story of our got just perfect with this card. We do early Vday gifts and cards (both of us do not have the patience to hide the gift/card) ..so it right now sits next to the alarm clock reminding him every morning how special is he to me....Thanks Card Store for such a cute car.

May be after Vday I can use this card for Tea reminders hmmmm..now that's an idea :)

Colors of Love by Mother Nature

Peach tree next door is helping me decorate Niwas with colors of Love. Flowers with a beautiful pink on a tree with no leaves is breathtaking ... I had never seen this amazing work on nature .. I remember walking in the neighborhood when I first saw it and was totally amazed and also wished if our house will have the same tree.....this tree sits in between our house and the neighbor house ......Flower start around mid Jan and are in full bloom in Feb ... Looks like Mother Nature is wishing us "Happy Valentines Day"

Love @ Niwas

A pinch of joy
A dash of tenderness
A spoonful of affection
A heap of LOVE ........

and the flower smiled...

Morning kissed the flower and he yawned "Good Morning"....

                             
                               he was still half a sleep, still trying to open his petals

the turtle in the corner noticied the yawning flower

in between the green leaves and dry twigs

all turtle could see was a morning kissed flower

turtle kept watching the flower and then finally said "You are Beautiful"

and  the flower smiled ............

Capturing Beautiful things@ Niwas is an amazing feeling. Hope you all have an amazing feeling in all you do.
