TJ’s prompt this week, Rainbow.
I love this prompt! I had a great photo captured when I saw an upside down rainbow one day!
A Smile From Above

Then I remembered that one time I did indeed find a rainbow inside my house!
Unexpected Rainbow – A Tanka
A rainbow inside?
Imagine my surprise!

A CD was the true cause

Tea Party – A Tanka
I learned the hard way…
Never invite a dragon
To your house for tea
Unless you prefer your food

This week TJ has given us Jewel Box as a prompt.
How could I not have a jewellery box, I’M INDIAN!
I have many, actually, filled with beautifully coloured bangles and adornments. Yes, I do have the real deal, but that is kept safely in the bank, as I feel to scared to keep it in my house!
What I keep at home is many, many boxes of different artificial jewellery, and over the years I have accumulated all manner of pieces!
All I know is that when the time comes, I have plenty to hand down to my daughter, and future daughter-in-law!
When I got married, I was given a beautiful set of wooden jewellery boxes from my dear university friends, and my mum bought me lovely metal bangle holders. These are what I have used for the inspiration for this post!
Wooden troves filled with
Glittering treasures and gems
Adornments for meRitu 2016
Open me and find
Row after row of bangles
Waiting for your armsRitu 2016
And as I was trying to be an artistic photographer… I had an assistant! He needs to be featured too!
Cats do love boxes
Seriously, any box
Even shiny ones!Ritu 2016
