Brighter Spring settings

 At last, some welcome blue skies after a long, grey winter. It is so needed & suddenly everything is in bloom & the bright new leaves are dotted on the tree branches. 

I had a little change around in the conservatory & since it spans several occasions (Mothering Sunday, my birthday, Easter,  Spring) I have a little of what I fancy on the sideboard in the conservatory. 

Nothing at all is new, just old favourites appearing again, to be used & enjoyed. 

They are mostly gifts & things I have bought on my travels across the world - ceramics from Africa, cloth from India,  Moroccan glass, high street & pottery studios. That is how it should be. 

The pale pink table cloth was a bolt of fabric I hemmed, as I often do because the table extends. The colourful runner was a gift years ago & it ties the colours together. 

I bought the colourful platter at TKMaxx about 20 years ago & it is so cheerful for summer dining - piled high with nibbles, bread, cakes or anything else to share. 

I prefer casual dining where you can catch up with people over lighter foods to share, even if the food is ready made. 

Such was a shared family meal on the weekend - welcome colour & company. 

I hope Spring has sprung for most of you, and autumn is colourful for the southern hemisphere visitors. 

Thank you for stopping by, it is always appreciated.
