Whenever I think of
happy festive moments doing up my home and cooking always-always are my most favourite
things to do. I am sure they feature high on your list of favs too!
Nothing big and complicated. Small
changes that make my home look fresh and a little different. A new cushion
cover, a bright lamp shade, changing the artwork on the wall and at times only some
fresh flowers. Pretty little things that make me very very happy.
Which brings me to our 2nd giveaway of the week.

One thing that I do during the festive season which brings a smile to my face (and others) is to bunch up beautiful glass bangles in various colours and hang it near windows. The colourful bunches reflect light and also make funky patterns on the wall.
Absolutely love the giveaway.
That is one gorgeous cushion! I love this time of the year! And this year is an added bonus of dasara, karva chauth and diwali all rolled into one beautiful month!
