Hey,

Welcome aboard!!

This urli has adorned my entrance ever since I got this beauty from Dilli Haat. It was love at first site. On days when we have guest over our place, I love putting in flowers and decorating it. Its a perfect way to add a bit of freshness and chutzpah at your entrance.

Like the flower arrangement one over the other.

Much Love

When life gives you lemons!!!!

via

Or may be something else;). Well, this season, we are reaping the fruits of what we had sown last season. LEMONS IT IS. Last season we got home two small plants of lemons (different types) and got them planted in the backyard. Its just been a year and we are getting gorgeous lemons. Though they are still green in color but still looks so pretty. The gardener says it will take another month or two for them to change color. 

Have a lookie of these gorgeous citrus!

                                                          The very first type of lemons.

                              Ohhh, and these are small narangis growing in our front garden.

                                                 See these gorgeous narangis in this post.

This is the second variety of lemons.

We are surrounded by citrus from all around. Will be surely having many more glasses of lemonade now....yeaah.
On another note, these can also be very defensive. If not lemonades, these can be used for another purpose too. See the picture below.

GREEN TEA

Hey All!

This post is not at all about any green tea recipe.Instead it will be focused on my fetish with greens. The other day when I was cleaning the crockery table while talking on my mobile, I broke the kettle's top....oooopssss.... To put the remaining kettle to good use, I used it as a planter and planted some gorgeous greens into it. And guess what, the plant is blooming in it beautifully. Sharing some pictures with you all.

Quick Tips:

• Never miss any opportunity to plant some greens. If your space does not allow you to buy planters, go search them in your home. It can be any old cup, kettle, glass, plastic bottles etc etc. The key is to RECYCLE.
• Old planters can always be decorated. Just use your imagination and go wild with your crafting skills.

Do you also love making quirky planters. Share with me your ideas in the comments section.

                                                                  MUCH LOVE

Tom tom Tomatoes

Heyaa everyone!!!!!

Sharing with you today, small cutesy baby tomatoes that have been growing in our backyard. They are growing in brunches and I am totally loving it. It feels so good to see them grow everyday. Just wish they were perennial and could fruit throughout. Though they don't grow too big in size, but even then these small red cherries look and taste awesome.

Have a lookie,

                                                                        MUCH LOVE

Wine anyone???

Heyyaa everyone!

 

This post has been in my drafts since quite long. These picture were clicked on one boring day. I had nothing to do, so I just cut few sprigs of Wandering jews and placed them in a wine holder.(yaa yaa I know no body does such things when they get bored) And finally placed it in my parent's bedroom. Did you noticed the runner beneath the holder. Its been made from my mother's saree.

I have been quite busy lately which is the reason behind my absence from the blogosphere. Hope to catch up on the pace real soon.

 

Have you seen my other posts on Wandering Jews. Read them here and here.

Till next time,

                                                                    MUCH LOVE
