Pretty Pagoda


How gorgeous is this garden pagoda? I'd love to host a girly high tea in this beautiful setting. Fabulous company, great food, rainbow hued napery and vintage china: what a perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon. Bliss!

This week I'm away, both from home and from blog-land. The kidlets and I are in Brisbane for a few days, and tomorrow my darling boy turns 6! We have bought him a beautiful big box of Derwent pencils as he loves drawing. My parents gave me a box when I was his age that I thought I'd lost in one of my many moves but my husband surprised me the other day when he found them in the bottom of an old box. Now Callum and I will be able to spend our afternoons drawing together!

Have a great week. xx

    What a beautiful setting for some high tea. And maybe some champagne too.

    That actually looks like the perfect spot to get out the Derwents and do some sketching.
