Ready for a colorful sky ....

Diwali prep is in full swing form colorful lights to colorful sky .......

 

Sharing Festivities ....

I asked my husband a week back to start putting up Diwali lights as I didn't want it to be done at last minute ... he agreed and we got busy with the task ... Dad and my husband started hanging the lights and me and mom started wrapping them ....we started this in evening and we saw our neighbours coming home bringing kids from daycare and school .....

One of our neighbour stopped by and said 'Hello' and asked "Is the festival coming up soon ?" I smiled and said "Yes, it's on Tuesday, you will see and hear fireworks for sure" ....neighbour smiled and said "I don't remember the name of the festival, but I know it's beautiful".....It was such a nice feeling to hear those words and to see how people around you observe your festivals and also appreciate the beauty around it .....

 

It was also a nice surprise when my husbands colleague remembered and askwed when Diwali was and how are we planning on celebrating this year ....I think they can see the excitement on our face and see how important Diwali is for us .... no matter where you are make sure to celebrate as much as your can ... spread the word about your festivities and you will be surprised to see how many people are interested to learn and enjoy with you .......

 

 

Diwali is almost here....

How are Diwali preparation going in your home ? Is cleaning in progress ? Is you silver all shiny ? Does the home smell like your favorite sweet ? oh and how about the lights are they are lit up .....We are getting ready and have a bunch of things to do our self .. this long weekend will help us for sure .....While digging through my Diwali box I found the potpourri that I had totally forgotten about ......as soon a I opened the bag the aroma of Cinnamon with Rose filled the home .....

My love for candle is known to all......so I added a yellow round candle to enhance the color and when lit it will make the oil bring more aroma around the house. ....Wooden container,balls set was gift from my parents last years for Christmas and I totally adore it as it fits perfectly with our home decor style.

Potpourri with candles is a great gift for Diwali and there are so many options to choose from. So many colors so many aroma and so many ideas ... if you are still looking for last minute gifts or last minute decor ideas you have stopped at the right place .. Hope Diwali @ Niwas inspires you today ....

Inspiring Diwali

This Diwali I encourage you all to look around your home and be inspired and see the beauty in all the wonderful colors and decor that you have gathered over the years .....if you are busy and can't shop around ...why not mix and match what you have ...... what you love, bring it together and create that special corner that is unique on its own .....

Festive time should be fun and enjoying time with family ..... so take it easy and create some special corners .......get you kids involved and get your imagination go as creative as it can .....This Diwali promise yourself to enjoy your home with festivities and be thankful for all you have .....

I created this center piece from my collection ....Brass framed mirror, Moroccan candle stand, Wine glass turned into candle holder ......

 

Individual pieces are beautiful however when brought together it gives a new definition .....It's funny how one doesn't shop with a particular theme in mind at times .....and you still end up creating a corner you can enjoy.....

 

Hope these pics inspire you to create your special corner in your home.......

Fasting For Love

Happy Karva Chauth to all the lovely wife's fasting for their love of life ......

Happy Fall

Today was the first morning where we could feel the autumn in the air ...beautiful morning and beautiful fall decoration is what we saw this morning ..... we stopped to take some fall pics and I captured some for Niwas to share with you .....I think I can now say it finally ...."Happy Fall"

 

The woods are full of fairies;

 the sea is full of fish;

 the trees are full of golden leaves;

 let's make an autumn wish
