A cup of Assam Tea

Hope you all are doing well. You can enjoy the fantastic weather if you are on the East Coast. We had a lovely Diwali celebration at home. It was low-key but certainly beautiful, with a lot of family time and good, old-fashioned homemade food. I had a variety of Indian sweets and other indulgent treats, which I still enjoy. And we are almost at the last day of October. I just got caught up in the festivities and fall foliage, and I don't feel like letting it go. Anyway, I'm sharing some pictures of our home's Diwali celebration. Wearing a cotton apple green salwar kameez with organza dupatta and rose hand floral prints.

A long, narrow passage on the side makes it look  like a postcard....

Lots on my mind, as India celebrates a glorious festive season thousands of miles away, and I feel the festive vibes here.  Buying balloons with my  Dad , the jingling of colorful bangles in the stores, and how our small town decked up are now distant memories.   Celebrating festivities in India has its own charm, whether it's the food, the hustle and bustle, or the natural transitions. Nevertheless, I love to dress up for Indian festivities. As you may know, I have a fondness for old and classic pieces. There is so much potential to dress them up in many ways, and it never fades with time. I am always attracted to pieces that have a vintage appeal. I love this old pair of back Mekhela chadar .
