Last night.
Christmas in July. A table set for 15.
A big thank you to the lovely Sarah from Casa Verde Flowers in North Melbourne for the beautiful, beautiful Christmas greenery and winter flowers. They looked simply beautiful and still do. Sarah and her son Harry foraged a huge bundle of pine and cyrpus for me and a big bag of pine cones too! A couple of gingerbread houses are coming your way tomorrow!
I had so much fun setting and styling the table. Ironing all my old linens, many made by my Grandma and probably some by my Great Grandma and Great Great Aunt. Finding enough plates and glasses. Making flower posies. Scattering handmade gingerbread down the middle (which was almost entirely gone by the end of the night, good work friends). Lighting tea lights in old crystal from the op shop. And covering the entire length with pine branches, pine cones and seed pods.
An emergency, last minute delivery of cutlery from my mum saved the day!
I think I have a couple more pics of the evening to share.
