Friday Talkies.

Hello friends, I am really excited to share with you what I had planned for a Friday fun,with my family :

Movie time with wraps & fajitas.  

Must be wondering what this is?

Well, it is an old map series decoupaged paper mache storage box. I'm so happy that now all these gadgets are under one house.

How I used to hate seeing them strewn all over my living space.

Now lets get ready for movie time with ....

Charlie Chaplin

The idea of introducing  my son to the world of  Sir Charles Spencer Charlie Chaplin was long pending. Chaplin's silent movies could be understood anywhere in the world because they are just "silent".While talkies strengthened the language barrier,Chaplin's movies remained silent so that the whole world could join in on "the laughter"

    Now for something to munch on:Wraps and fajitas from  Mommy's kitchen,will do ?

   

Hope, everyone is having a wonderful weekend.I surely had some good quality time spent with my family and is all energized  for the forthcoming week ahead.

Thanks to all of you lovely ladies for hosting the parties.

Sketches in B/W

Sketches in Black & White

 Today I bring to you some memories ... postcards from a city which is very very close to me: the source, the root, the milieu which has inculcated  the creative and cultural elements in me.

Yes , it is about my "City Of Joy" - Kolkatta 

This picture shows a street life in a busy by lane of  the city.

These beautiful  B/W pencil sketches by artist Samir Biswas,were gifted to my husband by his colleague.They've been around for some time as I was searching for a place to group them. Finally, I found this corner at the entrance of my bedroom , the perfect long wall to display them.

Now they are  happily grouped against my "apple green" wall.

         

The vignette on the window ledge in the corridor leading to my bedroom door.

The fabric lamp shade renders a lovely warm soft glow around, just perfect for my bedroom 

                                 

 My city's B/W sketches  have got their space finally; whenever I enter my room now, I smile...
