Home tours

Woke up this morning to a big surprise from blogosphere; 

to find my home  featured in a seasoned bloggers blog.

      I am absolutely thrilled and can't wait to share it with you all.

  Snapshots of my home as featured by this lovely lady called Patricia Torres here

Decor tips: The decor is primarily Indian with colonial and eclectic accents. Some of my favourite pieces are the low lying darbari styled seating arrangements picked up from Hauz Khas village New Delhi, the marble topped corner tables with coloured tiles are from Lajpat nagar(Amar colony).The grey slatestone Krishna with the flute is from Mahabalipuram (Chennai). The eclectic hand fan is obviously from Kolkata, I just added the red sari border around it and so on .... 

 Patricia is a dynamic lady with a huge fan following her blog,
 and am so very happy to be a part of it today .... smiles.
 Thank you Patty and all you lovely people out there don't forget
 to drop in at her inspiring lifestyle blog at "Colours Dekor"

                                            Hugs Arani

Mother of mine

  "Mother of mine" - Neil Reid
   Mother of mine you gave to me, all of my life to do as I please,
    I owe everything I have to you,
    Mother sweet mother of mine.
    Mother you gave me happiness, much more than words can say,
    I thank the lord let me breathe with you,every night and every day.
    Mother of mine now I am grown and I can walk straight all on my own,
    I'd like to give you what you gave to me,
    Mother sweet mother of mine
    Mother sweet mother of mine.
            

My beautiful mom with my sister on her lap..... a priceless photo that I treasure.                                                                            

Vintage crochet purse, pearls and brooches of my mother in law ..... timeless gifts to be passed down through the generations.

and a beautiful card from my sunny boy on Mother's day ..... Priceless!              

Card making tips: Cut and fold the coloured chart paper into a shape of a card, use crayons to colour it with bright colours.Now paint it with black poster colour over the coloured crayons.Let it dry.Take a toothpick and draw any design of your choice with the tip of the toothpick,here it is done with the roses.... voila see the colours coming out from the black paint! 

Wishes from a blessed daughter, daughter -in-law and a proud mother

A Happy Mother's Day to all.
