A Gardenscape with a Summer drink:)

It's holiday time and spending some pleasurable time in kitchen to prepare a delightful summer drink  is fun as well. Preparing a shrub is perfect for holidays and holiday outing. A shrub is a traditional Arab cordial and were popular few centuries ago and are making a come back again.As we know a shrub is based on a fruit syrup using fruits like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes and red currants. To prepare a strawberry shrub all that is needed.....strawberries: 3lb (1.4kg) Granulated sugar, Citric acid. This makes about 850 ml of syrup. Sterilize the bottle tops by boiling them in water for 15 minutes. Make sure the strawberries are clean, shell them and put them into a pan. Heat gently, stirring continuously, and bringing slowly to the boil. Boil for 1 minute, crushing large pieces of fruit with wooden spoon. Strain the fruit through clean muslin cloth till the last drop of  juice.  Measure the juice into large, clean jug. Add 12oz (350g) sugar to each pint

Summer Table With Summer Flowers :)

We have come to the mid of 2017. Nature is doing it's job and in blog land too, everywhere, creative instincts keep flowing with personal hints and tips. During these long six years of blogging, there was never a dull moment and blogging has become  routine & unavoidable to me however busy. I love everything about blogging and am happy to be part of blogging community. It's always overwhelming to receive cherish-able comments from unknown destinations, unknown people and blog friends. Thank you all.    In a sun filled room a summer dining with  just simple flowers makes a difference. The dragon fly and butterfly print table runner adds charm to the table as well. The  combination of yellow,white and with  touches of blue & green declares they are true colors of  June skies.     Please visit Nap on the porch Foodie Fri Day Please Visit Pink Saturday Please Visit Charm Of Home Please visit Ru

Summer On Plate:))

Season changes, decors too change according to seasons, but the love to style your home with season's color and season's elements never change. It often happen in the homes of people who are passionate about decors and with the things they possess.  In many countries it is Summer time and thankfully our severe summer days are coming to an end with a change in the evening air. Unlike other cold countries Summer, our Summer is harsh with literally the heat wave sweeping.  Living near the coast is always enjoyable (as we are) and creating a coastal feel through decors is fun as well.  What is your vision of an ideal Summer decor? Nothing conjures up the sunny Summer out doors like a out door dining or even if it's held inside your home. I transformed the dining table on a sweltering hot day to a coastal getaway with beach accessories and the much loved summer color combo Blue & White.  Collection of shells over the years comes handy to me for summer decor display.
