Terracotta Love

Terracotta pots and figurines look so lovely. And one such lovely piece I was gifted when I visited Chokhi Dhani (Rajasthani village themed restaurant and fun fair). Though I loved it in its plain form also but then too I wanted to fill colors.

This is how it looked when I received it..........

 I colored it in pure Rajasthani style using colors like yellow, red and orange. And it turned out so well. 

Tadaaa..........

 I found it little difficult to paint bandhni print on turban...but finally I did it.

 Some fine details.........

And painting this pot was so fun. this tiny pot is looking so cute.......isn't it.

Now it looks so Indian....so ethnic and I totally love it.

Wish you all a very happy and wonderful weekend ahead!!

Lotus: The Most Beautiful Flower

Last weekend I had wonderful time with my family. While I tickled taste-buds of my family with Rajasthani delicacies the very next day I was taken out to a place where we had oodles of fun. I found that place very special it was full of Lotus flowers and buds (many other fun things too).

Though we were little late and it was almost night when I clicked all the pictures (and my camera was not in good mood also :-( )

I wasn't able to take my eyes off that lovely site of beautiful flowers in different colors.....I kept on clicking........

This was such an amazing outing packed with fun and peace both at the same time.......... :-)))

Circle Garden Seating

If you haven't noticed...I have been gone from my blog, on vacation to Kansas and Oklahoma to see my son, and two of my sisters, one has a winery! But I am back now and thought that you might enjoy this...
I enjoy my yard so much. I love to be out in it when the days are warm and sunny. I like to see how many of the flowers are blooming, how green the weed-free grass is and I even love to mow

This Summer

This summer what you all are doing to bring in cheer to your place. I simply love bringing in greens and blooms. Flowers always create such lovely ambiance and add splash of color too.

My Petunia is doing very well and I was completely surprised when I saw flowers in two shades(violet with white stripes)  b'coz when I bought this plant it was so tiny and flower was in one shade only(Purple).

This corner look so cheerful and serene at the same time.
