I'd like to wish all my flickr friends and followers the very best for the New Year. Thank you for your support, encouragement and comments this year. Thank you also for all your wonderful photographs!
May your New Year's Eve be a festive one, whatever you choose to do. May 2020 be a happy and prosperous year for you all.
I love New Year, and a New Year with all the trimmings is just what I enjoy. Therefore a four course New Year's Eve dinner had on the back terrace is a classic affair. Royal Albert "Val d'Or" tableware, crystal glasses, Sheffield cutlery, antique silverware, napkin rings and antique linen. However, it is my floral centrepiece that I enjoy most about my table setting every New Year. This year my florist supplied me with white and yellow roses; two of my favourite colours. The asparagus fern comes from my garden, as I like to create my own centrepieces.
Set for Christmas - Day 18
Sausage and Mash again today, followed by a cream and berry filled meringue nest.

Isn't this just beautiful!?! Perfect for Christmas, as well as Valentines, Mother's Day...for any day really.

I love Christmas, and a Christmas with all the trimmings is just what I enjoy. Therefore Christmas luncheon had in the dining room this year, owing to rainy weather conditions, is a classic affair. Antique Edwardian salon chairs, Royal Albert "Val d'Or" tableware, crystal glasses, Sheffield cutlery, antique silverware and my grandmother's napkin rings, antique linen, embroidered napery, and festive Christmas crackers.
However, it is my floral centrepiece that I enjoy most about my table setting every Christmas. This year my florist supplied me with cream, magenta and pale pink roses. The asparagus fern comes from my garden, as I like to create my own centrepieces.
So why pink? Pink isn't exactly the first colour that springs to mind when you think of Christmas. A few weeks before Christmas 2022, a very dear Flickr friend of mine in America sent me a wonderful Christmas parcel full of lots of lovely presents, including a set of six Sheffield Steel knives from the early 1950s with porcelain handles painted in pink and hand decorated and gilded. She hoped that they might look good on my Christmas table, which they would have since the floral arrangement I made for my centrepiece last year also consisted of pink roses. What my friend did not count on was the backlog of Christmas parcels in the post. Sadly, they did not arrive until after New Year 2023. However they did make it to my Christmas table setting this year, and so I ordered pink and white roses again from my florist. The pink theme, carried on by bonbons featuring pink accents, looked wonderful and the knives were remarked upon favourably by all the diners at my table. This same friend sent me the cake slice to match this year, and it arrived before Christmas, so I was able to use it to slice and serve my Christmas plum pudding.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day and are enjoying the time between here and New Year's Eve.

I used big fat, white balloons and fabric bunting to decorate. I also set up gingham picnic blankets, baskets of strawberries, and balloons for the kids.
The table is almost ready for our monthly afternoon tea. This is from last month's tea, which featured both cucumber and tuna sandwiches (crusts removed of course!).
Unfortunately it was raining when I was taking the pictures so my table setting doesn't look as cheery in the photos as it actually does when laid out. I had lots of fun mixing and matching the colours and could have gone on endlessly but I guess 12 is enough!
The decor inside The Village Pub at Woodside, CA is a little old school with red velvet upholstery and dark wood panels, but it's cozy and comfortable.
Hello everyone, happy Sundays to you : )
light here.... light there... light can be everywhere... so long as we are looking for it...
this was part of the table setting prepared for a very dear friend two Sundays ago, to celebrate her birthday together during a brunch at our current home...
didn't do much, but tried to prepare everything with as much care & attention to detail, so as to honour her...
more pictures posted here!

I took this at the end of December when we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of my brother in law & his wife. Using a cropped version below for Macro Monday's folded theme.
