How this one for X-mas tree

I was about to put Apartment therapy (LA) in my credit links list with a thanks. But it seemed somehow incomplete!

Hey AT sure, a very warm welcome both ways! And what better traditional way to do so but with a rangoli…

And the X-mas is just around the corner.

So how about our kind of  X-mas tree this season! ↓

This is traditional brass multi-tiered oil lamp from South India. Just imagine how it is going to look when it is lighted!

(And our jhula-swing as suspended furniture is an extremely interesting way to describe - new to my ears but a topic for a separate post altogether so will do a little later.)
