Display your collections ... this Christmas ...

Its that beautiful time of the year ... and no matter what ... the spirit of Christmas is very infectious ... you are sure to get the 'do your home up' ... bug ...

And incase you are biten ... heres something that you might enjoy putting together ... display your collection ...

I put together a collection of my cream color candles ... and just went with what felt and looked right by me ... cream and green ... with a tone on tone effect ...

No matter what your collection that you may be thinking of displaying ... all you need to do it know you'll do fine ... group them ... stagger the height (actually that would really depend on what your collection is and where you planning to display it) ... but these are basic tips you could keep in mind ...

... add in the greens ... some flowers ... and your holiday decor is sure to spruce up ... hope you have ... a fabulous time decorating for the holidays ... It feels like... 'A Merry Christmas ' ... already ... :)

Its Christmas once again ... time to drape my Christmas tree ... :)

Its a little late in catching on ... but there is a sudden burst of colors in my drawing room ... according to my lil' one ... ' mommy , bring it on ... if its for Christmas ... then we gotta have it on the tree ... ' ah ... oooh ... so much for my color co-ordinating the christmas decor .... ;)

... on second thoughts ... what the hell ... bring it on ... sooo ... all that's for Christmas is going to find a place in the decor ... (well honestly I'm not sure how much more the tree can take) ...

... I have a feeling before the Christmas eve ... our tree is sure to undergo a metamorphosis ( its the new word Sarah has learnt... and she knows what she is talking ... wee) ...

... and as I always love to do ... the treehas to be draped in yards and yards of fabric ... well ! this year I picked a beautiful silk tissue ... again the crushed kinds ...

... there are still loads of fantasy land that is going to parade up the tree ... the butterfly collection ... the elves collection ... and ahhhmmmm ... its always fun to go discover some new goodies ...

... that's a snap shot of what's bubbling up at our home ... hope you'll join me here for some more Christmas decor ideas ... and share with me your experiences too ... :)

SAVE SEAWOODS LAKE

I sincerely apologise to all my friends and readers... for lack of posts of late and my not being prompt in replying to all your comments ... I genuinely have a reason.We are working at trying to find ways to save an enviromentally sensitive lake in our neighbourhood (which incidently happens to be the endangered mangroves that government of India is striving very hard at protecting and conserving)

Sadly though , in a maze of red tape and probably profitable realestate deals ... this lake is loosing out the battle to survive and not many are forthcoming to help this cause.

If you may be interested to know more about this issue ... you can join the group ...SAVE SEAWOODS LAKE ... on facebook.

We can do with help of any sort ... you can be residing in anypart of the earth ... but please remember ... every environmental issue concerns all of us alike ...

You can help by covering this issue in all the media you deal with ... do you know organisations who may be interested in supporting and intervening for this cause.

Write to our authorities... (you'll find the e-mail addresses on facebook group SAVE SEAWOODS LAKE)

Share your views with others on the group... encourage others out there by something more you may have to share ...

Help us mobilise media and public pressure on the local authorities so that they may take the decision that is best for our environment.

Please help ... this is about our environment ... its about our earth ... this is about all of us.
