a bit later than intended

oops! After a super whirlwind of a weekend, this second little box has only just made it into my shop, here. Our Saturday morning was spent cleaning/tidying the house and garden in preparation for a total of nine people for dinner. It was such a gorgeous day that we put our dining table outside in the garden, and I used our colourful tablecloth we bought in Thailand and added some glasses of flowers. We all had a lovely afternoon, so much so that once everyone had gone and everything was tidied (again) and put back in its rightful place I had no energy left and fell asleep on the sofa. But I couldn't have much of a lie-in on sunday as Holly and I went to see my sister for the day. I had to see her wonderful new workshop in person, and yes, it truely is wonderful. I even managed to buy some more felt, and we had a lovely lunch followed by ice-cream on the beach. Here is Holly drawing on the stones, we found lots of chalk on the beach among the rocks : )

A pile of beach rocks... heaven! And the table setting outside looks so lovely!

Hey Harriet said...

Your outdoor table setting looks wonderful and so inviting. There's something so special about dining outside. And icecream by the beach is a perfect example of that! :D
