Many thanks to all you lovely readers who have sent me messages and emails asking for the chestnut ice cream recipe that I hinted at on Monday. The good news is that I am making them this afternoon so I'll be taking pictures as I go - of course! :) - and I'll put the recipe up on the blog tomorrow.
Today I have been playing with another Christmas table mood board. If only life were always this simple! Just set up the lighting, gather together a few goodies that look nice together, choose a suitable backdrop and start snapping!
The theme this time is white and silver (you notice I have still resisted red, but I think that for the next board I'll have to give in).
As a backdrop I used a gossamer light embroidered tablecloth that I have had for years; some silver coloured platters that are useful at this time of year; candles in crystal salt cellars; antique cutlery; white stoneware and a few christmas tree decorations.
Plus of course those feather trees that I adore, but that the rest of the family say look like a drawing by Dr Zeuss - " SO WHAT?! " I reply, I adore Dr Zeuss too!
So here we go just for fun, a few ideas that anyone can put together to create a festive mood on the dinner table or as a vignette
and last but never least, a not-very-good shot of the tree, I'll try to take some better pics today.
I hope you're having fun planning your celebrations, be they a huge family meal
or a quiet dinner for two. Just remember that a little sparkle goes a long way !!
