SurEvolution

With Diwali round the corner my head is filled with ideas about how to decorate the house. A touch of gold always brings in the festive look. I absolutely love these centerpieces from Pottery barn. A few of these will liven up any corner of the house. A classy touch to brighten up my Diwali. I still do not have all these pieces and much to my dismay Pottery barn does not have them anymore. However my search is on to bring these gorgeous pieces into my home.

These are created by SurEvolution, an organisation of specialized workshops dedicated to creating environmentally responsible designs. The best part is that each of these "champa gold leaves" are created by skilled craftsmen in an Indian workshop dedicated to maintaining the livelihood of each of its employees.

Gorgeous Fall

The hills are alive with the sound of music! In Seattle however they are alive with myriad hues...red, rust, yellow, crimson, orange and brown. These trees literally make me stop in my tracks..not the best thing to do if you are driving a car :-) I spent an entire day this weekend in pursuit of capturing the perfect image of Seattle's fall foliage. It was a gorgeous day and a lovely time of the year. Diwali is just a week away and these fall colors are the inspiration for my Diwali decor..

Happy Thoughts

I woke up this morning feeling happy and relaxed. Nothing says happy to me as happy flowers in my pretty green jars :-) So here's to happiness, the beauty of spring and the promise of fall....

Countdown to Diwali and so many ideas....
