The Chandelier

Try this for an impact. This chandelier of wine glasses is so exhilarating. You might think you are intoxicated.

An enchanting atmosphere

These pictures were taken at the Garden Festival 2008

This very rich red display,
would be good for the Lunar New Year or birthdays.

As the Chinese have always associated red a symbol of good luck.

Twine creepers (vines) or just flowers, richly on the trellis or a skeleton umbrella stand.

An exquisite display

This exquisite display was featured in the garden festival.

It will be ideal as a divider for rooms or as a screen to provide privacy.

A friendly scarecrow

If you have all that extra pots, try this out.

This is another imaginative idea which is quite a novelty.

It looks like a friendly scarecrow.

Grow an umbrella

There were many flowers at the Garden Festival.

But this is truly an innovative display..

Can't find an umbrella for your table?

Why not grow one.

Upbeat about beads.

These beads have transformed the cabinet doors into an ethnic charm.

Sheer elegance

This is a good and simple way to keep out the glare from the sun.

Just use any sheer fabric, 

tie them to bamboo or stainless steel poles and you will get a stunning dropped ceiling.

Being versatile

This may just be a plant hanger but it has many usage.

Like in this picture it can be used to hang bags or even clothes.

I have managed to hang 4 large bags.

It helps to keep them in shape too.

Best out of the worst.

Don't know what to do with your bended utensil.

This designer spoon is a brilliant way of making the best out of the worst.

This was taken at Lifestyle.

An artistic appeal

I could not help noticing this display while having tea with some friends
at the Lifestyle Boutique.

The dessert tray looked like an art piece.

Young and old.

I saw these at a shop. 

It will make a conversational piece for both young and old.

Full blossom

I try not to cut back too much of my plants.

By allowing them to grow profusely or even a little out of control,

will allow them to show their full potential.

I have noticed, trying to keep them too neat and tidy, will only hinder the full blossom.

As seen in this picture the flowers have grown taller than the 6ft wall.

Sounds worth listening

To my delight, this morning windy weather,

 got my seashells chimes, rattling non stop in my garden. 

This sounded my attention.

It reminded me of my vacation in Hawaii.

They had all these shells chimes in many styles, cheering along the beach.

It felt like Hawaii again.

I love the sound of these chimes, as they are not high pitched.

The chimes help alert me to the weather change and wind directions too.

These shells are such a pretty sight, they will enhance any garden, patio, balcony, window…

Any place, where there is that pleasant flow of wind.

FYI: Found these very affordable beautiful chimes in Chinatown at only $10.00 for 2.

Whereas the ones I bought in Hawaii costed a lot more.

They look like jewels in the garden as seen in these pictures.

Fancy up

Love dressing up my stuff.

When I saw these simple plain bottles, I had to do something to spruce them up. 

Fancied them up with these lovely blue beads and see how alluring they have become. 

The beads are inexpensive and can be found in Chinatown at only $10 for 4 long strings.

Recycling old unused necklaces, lace and ribbons for such art work would be ideal.

Colour magic

No time for gardening!!!

Putting artificial flowers on my greens have made them a welcoming sight.

This is especially useful for non flowering plants or areas like some patios,
where you do not get enough sun for the flowers.

Instead of keeping it all green,
add subtle coloured flowers to your greens and see the transformation.

Can you guess which is real or false?

( Only the bright yellow flowers in the second picture are real.)

A sanctuary

Remember my fern wall..
Now..

I have added very large foliage to the surrounding and got myself

an even cooler place that feels like a sanctuary.

Using large foliage makes it look greener and shadier.

There were comments of the place looking a little Jurassic.

Fresh Feel

I love the feel of cool dew on my fresh flowers in the garden, on cold days in the early mornings.

It gives me a refreshing and elixir feel of the atmosphere.
To create an everlasting feel of this...
I hang clear shinning crystal balls on my flower arrangements and viola!
I felt that same effect again.
Simply use clear shinning crystal balls from your Christmas decorations. Hang them on your fresh or artificial flowers.
Hence, enhancing the display with that 'glittery dew'.
