All set for Diwali...?


The weekend was a very busy one....with prepping for Diwali day.... and the Diwali get together that I have planned for the coming weekend.
With Diwali falling on a Wednesday, I wanted everything to be all set over the weekend. We managed to do a lot....cleaned nooks and corners of the house, put up lights outdoors, prepared for the pooja, planned the menu for the party and then the most exciting part.....decorated the house.  

I tried out lots of different ideas....
Decorating with wine glass lamps...such a simple idea- using block printed paper to make little lamp shades for wine glasses.






Lining up a row of tea lights on a bright colored table runner...don't they look lovely....?






Using a mercury glass tea light holder...I'm seeing mercury glass everywhere these days in stores. It adds to the glamour and zing of the decor and I'm loving the look:)




I'm all set for Diwali... Are you...???

Wishing you and your family a very Happy, Prosperous and Joyous Diwali!!!

    @ Rama: Thanks Rama

    I have a template that I used to cut the paper in a shape so I could fold it as a shade. I'll try and send it to you.

    Happy Diwali:)

    @ Vaishnavi: Thanks:)

    Happy Diwali

    Your table looks divine and so festive.
    One always feels a little left out when other cultures celebrate a special time or holiday and I join in wishing you a year full of sweetness and prosperity
