It has been awhile since I participated in a Tablescape Thursday or Pink Saturday. We have been on a family holiday to Norfolk Island; you can catch some photos of this beautiful place in my previous blog post on my website.

I need quiet spots in our house just to sit and read with a cup of tea, to contemplate and find inspiration for my designs.

This chair and table are one of my favourite pondering places. As the weather is so hot here at the moment it can be very unpleasant outdoors during the day. Only in the early evening it is perfect to sit outside and catch the cool breeze.
As I am posting this for Pink Saturday as well I couldn’t resist showing my new bag design that fits perfectly with the pinks. This leather bag has become my new favourite bag as it carries so much and is so comfortable to wear.

Mum and I have a passion for these cups with the extended saucer, I think they are referred to as tennis cups. Perhaps someone can tell me the correct name.

Don’t you love the tiny biscuits? Mum found them one day when out shopping, but sorry she can’t remember where for me to pass on the information.

This one is so cute with the bird in flight inside the cup.

Mum found the teapot at Caterbury Lace located at Warringah Mall in Sydney.
Now the table is set and the tea made, it’s time for me to sit and savour the moment while I work on a new design; perhaps I will just sneak a moment to flip the pages of the magazines.
