Hi Everyone. 
Nandini asked me do some decor posts on Diwali. Well! although the actual decoration would happen on the Diwali day itself but these are some of the many things that would be prettifying my home. 
Some zari work and tissue gift boxes,which I have filled up with dry fruits and chocolates.
Dry leaves scented candles on an embellished tray.
A ganesh carved diya. On Diwali, I’d fill it up with oil and light it.
Just revived my DIY Coffee Beans candles to DIY fresh flower candles.
So how are your Diwali decorations coming along? Do share the tips.
Your read my mind!
today I wished to see this on Faux pas
you know those small floating candles, i bot them in bulk but once the whole wax inside went liquid and caught fire ://
see I read your mind.
God!! I guess i would be careful with the floating candles now. havent had such an experience so far!! 
Wowww.. these look so good. even I’m cleaning up here and plan to light some cute diyas on diwali
I’m catching up on all the cool posts now

Hey Rati, these ideas are fabulous! This diwali i wanna decorare my apartment with a bit different items…i can’t light many idyas here as in USA we live in wooden houses.So, I need to think differently .
thanks dita.
you can use those colorful lanterns and use t-lights to light up the home. of course flower decorations and those magic candles are always an option.
Happy decorating and do share how you decorated your home.

Flying home on Sunday !!!!! Just can’t wait to pretty up my place

Diwali is in the air already
yeah diwali is in the air naina. Spent first half of my day sending gifts to friends. Pheww!! it was quite a task but it felt awesome.
Have fun decorating your home. can’t wait to see the piccys. 
i knowwwwwwwww…. my family has gone insane!!! I have been asked to get around 20kgs of biscuits and cookies from Karachi Bakery and being the ‘ladli’ of the family I couldn’t even say no !! So now, I actually have no freaking space for my clothes
Everything needs to fit into the chotu cabin baggage wala bag :’(
oh god!! send some for me too.
my mama stays in hybd and they always bring those biccys. There is no comparison actually. 
So festive. Pictures are so well taken. Iliked the zari work picture the most. The colors are gorgeous.
Btw,i loved the color of your karvachauth outfit so much (the orange/rust) one that i picked up an Anarkali style kurta in that color.
thank you aruna.
) I think it’s the whole diwali feel that makes everything look soo pretty. 
) and enjoy wearing your kurta. It’s such a pretty color. I love it too.

Very nice and soothing Rati!

You are so creative Rati……I feel beautiful create beautiful things and make everything around them pretty….just like how you do :* There is beauty in everything you do and say……:*
**beautiful people create beautiful things
aww jomo. you are also one of the most beautiful people I know. :*
thanks for sharing ideas Rati…
I got so impressed by your floting candle decore… I went to buy a urli…couldn’t find one so came home with a clay urli and paintes it on my own… it came out so well… looking lovely , I am so happy now
awww that’s really nice sweta. I love DIYs , juts that dont find too much time to do them these days. Glad could help.
Yayy thank you so much for this post :* sorry I haven’t been on FP a lot lately, the new job is madly busy (but fun
) I love the urli and the boxes are so pretty! My mom collects such pretty boxes, if you ever travel to Thailand or Myanmar too you’ll find lots of pretty jewellery boxes with enamel and other work on them.
My parents are here! The apartment here in Blore isn’t too big since only bro and I live here but we might be finally celebrating Diwali this year! Mom usually makes lovely rangolis and we do flower arrangements.
it’s awesome to spend diwali with the family. And now that your mum is there with you, guess you dont have to worry a bit.
) not travelling to thailand again. 
but yeah myanmmar sounds good. 
)
Yeah that’s true
she’s making me tiffin for work everyday 
ah, the joys of being pampered with ghar ka khaana! Lolll I forgot abt that fiasco…you should visit Bhutan/Myanmar, mom told me they’re both beautiful places.
Wow.. now it feels like diwali..
I just feel helpless while living in US, no Passion no decoration, crackers or celebrations for any festival! Just Halloween or x mas.. :p but facebuk, imbb n fauxpas remind those beautiful festive seasons again! And this urli sounds great for indoor decoration. As we may not be able to light up diyas n candles because of our superactive lil one, but urli n Halloween lights are great idea for diwali decoration. 
we usually make goddess lakshmi idol from sugarcane n rice in our native place, n then worship it on diwali.. 
but here we’ll make coconut idol.. really excited this time as its first diwali of our baby.. . 
n now we got so many ideas for US friendly diwali.. lol 
m hoping it to be best diwali!
Ganesh craved diya is so lovely.. I do have same diya of maa laskmi and ganeshji. Its Diwali time and to celebrate with Dhooom Dhadaka. Yippeee
this is like catching the festivities in piccys rati di! The urli is just awesome, have a similar one of terracotta but hand painted by myself though!!!!!!!!!!! diwali must be such a happy occasion for a candle lover like yourself!!!!!!!!
wow so beautiful.. loved them..
