Orange seems to be the colour of the season! I haven’t yet tired of my orange walls…and it’s great to see more! Here’s Vandana Toreti’s orange focal wall in her Boston apartment, with a mirror from Indonesia, flanked by two beautiful tea light holders.

Thanks Vandana for sharing!
There is SO much colour everywhere and the festive spirit abounds! On blogs, in the streets, it’s enough to make you shout! We were traveling last weekend and just got back from a wonderful farm stay. Getting back to the city feels like coming back to a riot!
But it’s been quiet at home as friends and family are still traveling or are busy elsewhere. So here’s a quiet couple of evenings, with candles and soft light. Peace on earth…
We didn’t paint the wall! It’s just the lights…
The carved wood block…
Candle holders in shades of blue
Changed the lights to yellow and it was another sight altogether!
More blue and silver…
A leaf shaped diya I’d found during Diwali earlier this year. Painted the edge blue.
The table…
The DIY candle holders.
Linking up to some great blog parties, as always! The Keybunch and Liven Things Up.
Patty has this terrific weekend wrap-up thingy going on at Color Dekor for a few weeks now. With me, I dunno how each week blurs into the weekend and blurs right back into a busy as hell week sgain! Even when I wanted to do a weekend wrap-up post it’s ended up being last weekend’s and a bit of the past week thrown in :D.
The last weekend was a weekend of arrivals. My Chumbak stuff arrived in the mail, delivered just 2 days after placing the order. Wow.
You know you are Indian because…

Gift wrap from Chumbak
Then I’d picked up this beautiful tray at Kala Madhyam. It is black pottery from rajasthan and I was wondering where I’d put it.
Then I remembered some shells and simple coral still sitting in a bag from our vacation to The Andamans earlier this year. And here they are.
And then these beauties arrived in the mail too :). There’s something about the jewellery that Susmitha makes, see for yourself here. And most adorable is the pendant she made specially for me! It has all my family’s names on it. Glee :).
My trip to Howards Storage World had also landed me the cutest canisters. They came with their own chalk and all. From Casa Mia.
