Diwali Glow and Glamour

Diwali is right around the corner.....
and I have reds, pinks, and gold on my mind as I think about dressing up my home this festive season. 

Finally, there is a nip in the air, and the weather is becoming cooler. The lit up diyas give a golden glow to my home and add warmth:) 

   Sharing some glimpses of my home from last year...... 

I love this time of the year.,...there's shopping to do....planning for a Diwali get together.....decorating for the festivities.... and to add to the mix, there's also the excitement of Halloween, especially for the kids!




I'm also busy preparing my Indian outfit and jewelry for the special occasion.....this is one day when I go all out Indian and want to wear something that is traditional as well as glamorous.  How about you?


PS: If you haven't already, do check out my etsy store shopAraish for some lovely jewelry that may add some glamour to your Diwali outfit:)

My surprise....introducing ShopAraish

Hello everyone and wish you all a very Happy Dussehra!

On this auspicious day, I am so excited to introduce you all to my very own etsy store shopAraish.

It has taken me a very long time to make this a reality and I'm seeking a lot of encouragement and good wishes from all of you here. 

'Araish' denotes beauty and decoration; and that is what shopAraish is all about- all things to beautify yourself, and to decorate your home. 
To begin with, shopAraish brings to you a few exclusive pieces of hand made jewelry, mainly earrings.  All products at shopAraish are India-inspired. They are either handmade or designed by me or both. 

This is my first step towards bringing to you a whole range of India-inspired products for you and your home. I am working on a lot of them and they will soon be in stock at the store:)
Please take a few minutes to visit the store here 

Here are a few items from shopAraish.








Have a good week!

Fall is here...

First off, a big thank you for all the comments and compliments on my last post on my Living room. I haven't been able to respond to many of you and I'd like to thank each one of you for taking the time to come here and leaving me a note:)

It's a beautiful, crisp sunny morning in my neck of the woods with just a hint of cool. It makes me feel that Fall is here.....

Here in Florida, there isn't much that reminds you of fall- it stays quite warm till the end of October and there is no change of colors of the leaves (which I truly miss). 
But.....there is the countdown to Halloween and there are pumpkins and Halloween/fall decoration outside people's homes. 

I've put up a fall vignette at my home to bring in the mood.




I love this time of the year. The festive season is around the corner and I'm eagerly awaiting Diwali. Lots of eye candy coming your way...so stay tuned:)

And....don't forget about the surprise that is yet to come...........
