Christmas | A fleeting glimpse

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.

Hmmm.. it’s not turning out to be best pre-holiday season with my younger one ill. Keeping fingers crossed that he will be fine soon and we can all get into the holiday mood. I’ve not been able to do much except of course, get a little tree up with Sid. He was maha excited about putting up the ornaments we made :). So here’s a quick post, this is all the time I have for a post right now! I hope all of you are swinging through this week 🙂 and getting ready for an exciting weekend ahead! Merry Christmas!

The tree with the ornaments

The recycled plastic and gift wrap ones…

Lit up!

Linking up to The Keybunch carnival, Patty’s Weekend Wrap Up and Liven Things Up! I hope to be back with more news from around the house very soon! ‘Til then, take care!
