Wishing everyone a bright and joyous Diwali.How I miss the celebrations back home,the crackers,fireworks,the Rangoli,new clothes and not to mention all the sweets and other decadent delight….SIGH!I guess being thousands of miles away from home ,just decorating and sprucing up my home for Diwali and observing the puja is as close as it can get for me to celebrating it with my family……In the spirit of Diwali-the  most beautiful and cherished festival,I created some Center pieces just to revel in the beauty of Diwali and keep up with the sparkle Diwali adds to our homes.

Want to give your Indian wear a new look?Just bring out your colorful Dupattas and break the norm by using them in an unexpected way.I’ve created these centerpieces using my favorite Dupattas in fun/festive colors as table runners.

I just used a few things lying around the house and also some of my favorite possessions from my bangle collection and some cocktail glasses  as candle votive and added a bunch of LED lights……loving the unconventional look and feel of the mixed bunch!
