Please join me on a walk through the countryside of England...
Through verdant pastures...
Dotted with sheep...
Why, there's one around every turn!
And there are fragrant bowers of roses...
Amidst pagoda-shaped garden follies...
And garden urns in a state of pleasing decay...
I took a cue from the name of Mikasa's pattern, English Countryside...
And built this tablescape from there...
With things I had on hand...
Mixing high and low...
Like Gorham crystal (I invited the bon ton... King Edward and Lady Anne), Gorham silver bread plates, and little Herend critters on leaves...
Mixed with salt and pepper artichokes found at the hardware store...
Chantilly flatware mixed with grassy green place mats from WalMart...
Antique napkin rings and heirloom linens...
Mixed with refugee lambs...
Strays from some long-lost nativity sets...
And everything centered around a few dollars worth of grocery store roses from Publix...
With some alstroemeria lilies thrown in for color and good measure...
Now, you know how I love to play with my dishes, and I did that with these dinner plates in English Countryside, which I enjoy because they can be dressed up...
Or dressed down as they were when I used them in a very casual tablescape with a patchwork quilt and fuzzy ducks for spring HERE...
And another for St. Patrick's Day found HERE ...
While in the next few shots, I brought in four slightly different salad plates in the very dressy Duke of Gloucester pattern by Mottahedeh...
And enjoyed seeing just how these salad plates looked against the "texture" on the Mikasa dinner plates...
I thought the Duke was the perfect plate to introduce in this pastoral English theme...
With all of that fruit and even an insect or two...
I also think he looks rather handsome with the artichokes, don't you?
But Mikasa has several different salad/accent plates that go with their English Countryside pattern, and I selected the peach...
And the pear for this table...
And I threw in an extra pear next to the floral arrangement just because! ;-)
Now, that we've set the table, I'd like to serve what I think is the perfect recipe for dessert, a poem by Keats...
To A Friend Who Sent Me Some Roses
As late I rambled in the happy fields,
What time the sky-lark shakes the tremulous dew
From his lush clover covert;—when anew
Adventurous knights take up their dinted shields:
I saw the sweetest flower wild nature yields,
A fresh-blown musk-rose;
'twas the first that threw its sweets upon the summer:
Graceful it grew
As is the wand that Queen Titania wields.
And, as I feasted on its fragrancy,
I thought the garden-rose it far excell’d:
But when, O Wells! thy roses came to me,
My sense with their deliciousness spell’d:
Soft voices had they, that with tender plea
Whisper’d of peace, and truth, and friendliness unquell’d.. -- John Keats
Thank you so much for visiting me today, and I also want to thank those of you who have kept us in your prayers this summer. You will never know how much it was appreciated and how much you are loved. These roses, arranged in the spring, are my gift to you.
Now, let's go join Susan the lovely hostess of Tablescape Thursday and all of her friends HERE to see more tablescapes this week. I look forward to visiting you as well!
Warmly,
Mrs. Magpie (Sheila)

Yes a wonderful place for a spot of tea and some crumpets or some such delicacy! And of course a nice chat with special friends!
~Linnea
Such a beautiful table Sheila! Love your roses and it's so nice to see you:@)
What a beautiful way to start my day, Sheila ... with inspiration and an exquisite tablescape from you!
I was so glad to see your name at the top of my blog list this morning, and look forward to more of your beautiful creations and delightful stories.
I appreciated the gracious note and kind words from you, and send my best wishes to you and Fred.
What a lovely way to wake up this morning and find your post Sheila. You know how I've missed you. You have a great eye for tablescapes and what to mix with what. I love how Chantilly met WalMart.
I miss my pretty salad plates from Tiffany that went my the wayside many moves ago. What was I thinking!
Sam
OH Sheila,
I do think this may be one of the most beautiful tables ever!
The plates, the roses, and those little lambs!
Adelaide would be so proud!
And the view, just so pretty!
So pleased to see this my friend, your getting your mojo back!!!
You started my day on a great note!
Hugs,
Cindy
Well if this isn't the best post...I just finished reading Northanger Abbey by Jane Austin...so the English Countryside theme couldn't be more perfect! Love the artichokes and the little lamb...but I really am loving those vintage napkin holders...perfect - I'm imagining the Tilney family entertaining Miss Morland at their home right now :) Hope all is well with you and Mr. M! So good to hear from you!!
It's wonderful to see you again, Sheila. Reading your beautiful post is a lovely way to start the day. You have the gift of combining things in the most charming and wonderful way.
I was so happy to see your post on my dashboard, Miss Sheila! I have missed you in Blogland! Your tablescape is fabulous as usual. I love the addition of the little lambs. Now you have me wanting to start a collection! The plates are gorgeous as are the flowers. I am sending extra hugs this morning, my friend...Debbie
Spectacular tablescape! It even coordinates with your home! (The floral centerpiece and your drapes, and the green placemats and your carpet! It's like walking into an elegant restaurant!)
I loved it all and of course you did another outstanding scape, and I loved both the substantial salad plates from your pattern as well as the more delicate ones mixed in. And my most favorite (other than the beautiful centerpiece) is the lambs! How sweet to salvage them from old Nativity sets! They remind me of the ones I have from my grandmother's Nativity set (from Germany). 'Love it all, really! AND LOVE SEEING A POST FROM YOU!
I think of you often and hope you are doing well.
Love and Prayers,
Eileen
I am so glad to see your post! What a gorgeous tablescape(s) you prepared!! And what fabulous roses.
I hope you are feeling better with each new day...!!
Thanks for the delightful pictures.
I must confess, though, that Bear is a bit clumsy for that sort of tableware. I'd probably break a lot if I came for a formal tea.
But it all looks so lovely!
I knew I was in for a treat when I came today, Shelia, Has anyone told you how much you have been missed, and yes, you have been in my thoughts and prayers.
A beautiful tablescape, and the view while sitting at your beautiful table is spectacular too.
You do know how to set a table, and your thoughts always such a treat, thank you for sharing, and I am so glad to hear from you.
Hugs,
Sue
BEE-YOU-TEE-FUL!!! Love the little lambs.
So pretty Sheila! You know I love those lambs! :) So good to see a post from you girlfriend! Hope both and Mr. Magpie are feeling better!!
Lou Cinda
I'm positively in l-o-v-e with those white plates!
Brenda
Oh my goodness - back - and back with the prettiest tablescape ever.
So beautiful just like you.
sandie
I just felt transported. What exquisite flowers. They really create the mood and I love the grazing sheep!
I am so sorry for the loss of your friends. Friends are so dear and we have so few of them. My prayers are with you.
Sheila everything is so very lovely, soft and elegant.
I am so sorry to hear about your dear friend. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Beautiful post...The roses are exquisite - they don't look like grocery store roses! I love the sheep - the ONE time I was privileged to visit England - I remember the sheep grazing near Stonehenge. :)
Blessings,
Ava
What an utterly beautiful post!
I can tell that you really miss Adelaide. I think that she must be smiling as she looks down upon your gorgeous tablescape. The profusion of roses sets the tone to please the most devoted Anglophile. Beautiful choices from start to finish. Thank you for sharing your lovely design. Cherry Kay
Your table is beautiful, the flowers are gorgeous and the poetry was lovely!
I enjoyed every picture and every thought.
Sorry for your loss.
Thank-you for coming by my blog, I hope to get to know you more!
Sheila, your English garden tablescape is fabulous! The centerpiece is perfect and so are those dishes. I love those napkins, too.

Join us on Facebook!
This is my first visit to your blog, and I intend to keep coming back! I love the playfulness of the lambs against your very elegant china. I truly feel like I visited the English Countryside!
Tis very fetching...actually it's quite beautiful, Sheila. The roses and alstroemeria make a lovely bouquet. I have been very lucky finding great flowers at the grocery for almost nothing.
Have a great rest of the week!
This is absolutely gorgeous, so soft and pretty!
I'm so happy to see you back! I hope things are much better now!
Katherine
Sheila, it's so good to see you back this week for Tablescape Thursday! Your English Countryside table is gorgeous and very soothing. I hope playing in the dishes again was therapeutic for you. I know it always is for me. What a lovely tribute to your dear Adelaide.
Oh how I have missed you and your posts, Sheila. I am so happy to see you here.Your table is so beautiful and so elegant and the Enlgish Countryside pattern is so versatile. I love your lambs too and your flowers....Christine
Love your Dishes! Beautiful blog.Thanks for sharing.JoAnn
Well, Sheila, dear friend of mine, you had me at the first glimpse of those wonderful flowers. Your centerpiece seems to have sprung from a masterful Dutch painting -- lush and exuberant, tasteful and elegant!
But then I scrolled down and was captivated by the entire table, the whimsy, the mixture of 'high and low,' the poetry, the inspiration of it all.
I've missed your table posts. What a triumphant return -- stunning!
Kindest regards,
Bill
What luck to have had such a wonderful friend like Adelaide, Shelia! Its obvious that she touched your heart in many ways & now ours as well.
Thank you for sharing this GORGEOUS table with us. Just the epitome of gracious dining!
I've missing you! Hoping things have improved, health-wise for you.
Gentle Hugs,
Rett
I SO enjoyed my visit to the English Countryside! Everything is perfect from your beautiful arrangement to your refugee lambs :-)
This is absolutely incredibly gorgeous Sheila!
Hey dear lady, I have been missing you and your lovely post. Known that I have had you in my heart and prayer. I pray your days will be looking as bright as this post and the lovely setting. I especially love your drapes.
You know the lord is with you always.
Love and hugs.
you did england, and adeliade proud, beautiful setting~
And may she rest in peace, S. We have to believe in a better place.
Your table is so pretty! And the flowers are stunning!
Have a great weekend, and a prayer to comfort you.
October brings sadness here too. My gchild would be joyfully coming into our lives, but died at 4 months . We grieve the loss of this baby, but thank God for the blessing of our other precious grandchildren.
Good to see you back!
Hi sweetie, what a beautiful tribute to your dear friend, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Your tablescape is beautiful, I love the antique napkin rings and vintage napkins, treasures. The sheep grazing here and there are just precious.
To bring you up to speed on my last post: Mary Carol Garrity is better known as Nell Hill, owner of 3 shops and an author to many books. If you buy decorating books you can find hers on Amazon, some for very little, my fav is O Christmas Tree. Thank you for swinging in, I'm so glad you're back to blogging. hugs ~lynne~
A very lovely table! I love the use of the mirror under the flowers. I must remember to do that too sometime. Lovely dishes and, well lovely everything!
Thank you for stopping by and commenting on my new buffet and voting in the Fall Hutch challenge.
Kathe
How nice to see such a beautiful table set with things that mean so much to you. Your words convey how much you love creating these lovely tablescapes with items that have special memories for you. The roses are beyond beautiful and I also adore the little sheep. They are too cute!-------
Shannon
Hi Sheila...
I've missed being able to pay you a visit, but I'm doing what I can to hold the fort down around here until things take an upswing.
Your attention to detail always blows me away...talk about BEAUTIFUL! The flowers, the plates...EVERYTHING! Just when I think you can't possibly do any better, you prove me wrong.
I am so very sorry to hear the news about your friends' passing. May God give you peace and comfort, now and in the coming days.
The first word that popped into my head when I saw this tablescape was LOVELY! All of you details are so pretty and lovely in their arrangement!
So pretty - great job!
Sorry for the loss of your friend.
Thanks for stopping by.
What a beautiful tablescape love looking at your blog as well!
Crystal glasses and urns are to die for.
Happy TS & GB,
/chie
Yowza!!!!!! That is a beautiful floral arrangement!!! You did a wonderful job, and I really like the urn it's in. It's simply gorgeous! Lovely, lovely table and FABULOUS vintage napkins!!!!!!!!! I really did imagine that the table was set in a home nestled in the English countryside! I fully expected to see the cast of "Sense and Sensibility" sitting off to the side! :-) Lovely!
This is stunningly beautiful....the floral centerpiece looks like a GAZILLION BUCKS went into it! I love the heirloom linens, too...and...every detail! Your prose was gorgeous as well! I lived in England a few years ago and your post was the catalyst for a lovely nostalgic turn for me!!!
Love/hugs/blessings,
Lana
Sheila, this post was a delight in so many ways. For one, it was just wonderful to check my home page and see that you had posted! For another, the table is just beautiful to me. That particular style is my very favorite. I love the roses in the centerpiece and the formality of the place setting.
Love the English Countryside, and I liked the way you showed the variety of ways you can use it. It is the perfect backdrop to beautiful salad plates, isn't it?
And then, you finished with Keats.
It just doesn't get much better.
It is so good to see your blog face again!!
Your roses are beautiful! I would love to sit at your gorgeous table and have dessert with you....I love the artichoke salt & pepper shakers! Your dishes stand out with the green chargers and white matching plates. I am so happy I visited you!
I know its hard when we loose good friends but remember the good times. I lost my friend Kim, suddenly in April. I can hear her voice cheering me on!
Thank you for stopping by Sweetladyelaine's I appreciate your kind comments. Hope all is well with you.
Blessings My Friend,
Beautiful Mrs M.
your choice of Keats poem was like your table settings - sublime.
xo,
Neinah
Wshat a peaceful table.the peach and pear dishes and the Mikasa dinnerware is a favorite. I love everything, but the rose arrangement is just spectacular! Joni
Gorgeous! The refugee lambs were brilliant. At times, we all feel that way. Your ability to make everyone feel better, needs to be returned. I miss you.
Hugs,
Lisa
beautiful...table, poetry, and sentiments. Adelaide touched you on so many different levels. Thank you for sharing her...and your heart.
hugs, jane
Well you have certainly captured all that I love about the English countryside!! I love that Mikasa pattern, and if I had seen that first I would not have gotten Italian Countryside. LOVE everything...the flowers are so perfect. It's definitely worth waiting for, although you are missed when you are not around!! Thanks for stopping by...it is always great to "see" you:-)
You have certainly captured the English Countryside in you beautiful table decor... I just love it!
So happy to see you back and blogging. Thank you for your sweet-sweet note left at French Lique. You know you are adored down here.
God's blessings. Dixie
Oh what a lovely visit to the English Countryside -- this is truly one of the most beautiful table settings I've ever seen -- lovely to perfection. I'm so sorry for your loss of a dear friend. What a pretty tribute to her and your friendship through this tablescape. Thank you for sharing this with us today.
Sheila,
Your table is beautifully elegant! What a lovely tangible tribute to your dear friend! The centerpiece is so grand!
I notice the napkins and rings right away and was so taken with them! Bless your heart!
I am a lover of Keats since I first read his works in high school, many years ago. Such beauty in his words.
Thank you for sharing this lovely and bittersweet post!
Yvonne
Shelia, thank you so much for coming by to visit and for your sweet comments!! Honestly it took me years to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, so to be able to hopefully encourage and inspire other through Christ, is really such an exciting and humbling thing. Thanks for your sweet comments:-)
I just stopped by to give you a hug Shelia.
I am so very sorry about your dear friend Adelaide, and what a beautiful name she had.
Beautiful tablescape...can you just imagine the tablescapes in heaven.
hugs and love
Simply Debbie
HI SHEILA! Oh, I am taking a break to try and finish that afghan but had to pop in to see who had visited - and there you were! :) Again, I'm so sorry to hear about your dear friend and I know your heart is still aching. You're in my prayers still.
Now look at your most gorgeous table! Everything looks wonderful and love the little lambs!
You take care and I'm glad to see you're posting!
Love ya,
shelia ;)
Your tablescape is gorgeous! I love the vase sitting on the little mirror - what a wonderful idea.
Who am I kidding? I love *everything* about your table! It's absolutely gorgeous!
Sheila...you table is beautiful! Love the Mikasa pattern and the poem is wonderful...the perfect dessert. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend...hugs sent your way, sweet friend.
Beautiful. So nice to find your post. That Mikasa pattern is so pretty and versatile.
Sheila,
Beautiful tablescape! Elegant and gorgeous.
I am sorry to learn of your loss of Adelaide. She sounds like a priceless friend.
In the midst of your sorrow you have created such beauty.
It is your lovely spirit shining in the midst of the rain, sweet Sheila.
Thank-you Sheila for your sweet notes!
It's so good to have you back in the blogging world!
And this tablescape I have to say it again, is the most gorgeous of tables! The softness of the roses with the beautiful china, simply devine!
We do love having Addison around sooo much! We are kind of second parents to her and my daughter depends on us a lot but then again, I think that family is what is most important!
Hugs friend,
Cindy
Well, here I am again, bringing up the rear of the comments!! I am always the last to comment because you sneak in these posts on me! I am not good with keeping up with my blog reading list of everyone's new posts. I wish you'd have a 'subscribe to via email' button!!! Then I'd be on 'top' of things!
Anyway, the tablescape is gorgeous, of course; BUT, what I was absolutely loving were the flower arrangement, your huge window and the drapes in your room!!!!! Oh, man... those drapes are to die for, love them. And you did such a fabulous arrangement of those flowers, Sheila! It was just perfect.
Well, I am overjoyed to see a post from you and I hope you will forgive me for being late!
Best,
Gloria xxoo
Hello dear Sheila, You post is stunning. You are a tablescape artist. Big smile! I mean it my dear friend. Your beautiful table and dishes are so sweet. I love the lambs too of course. Keats poem was presented in such a gorgeous way. Roses always make me happy just to see them. A very sweet gift to enjoy. Thank you.
I am very happy to see you are posting and recovering from the summer you have had with the sad news of a loved one passing on to our Lord. You have strengh with your faith Sheila and I knew you would get through each hurdle that is testing you. You are a survivor and God loves you.
I am in Raleigh, NC visiting our son and I spent a few days with Beverly who lives about 35 minutes from our son's home. My computer was left on the car and I was without it until today. Sigh!
Blessings and love to you dear Sheila,
Jeanne xo
OOPS. my computer was left in the car. No worries my computer is fine. Smile!
ME!!! again
Hi sweetie (waving from Texas) I picked a great week to come back, I LOVED this table. The flowers are just gorgeous, and I adore the china. I've been MIA for a while - hate it when life gets in the way of my fun time, but that's the way it is sometimes. Thanks so much for visiting, I've missed everyone here so much. Loved the poem, and your lovely postscript was so moving. What a sweet tribute to your dear friend. Hugs, Kat
(PS, yes, it does seem to be the most troublesome kids who have the most obnoxious parents. My Cait is a teacher, and man, some of the stories would curl your hair!)
May your friend rest gently with Jesus.
Beautiful florals & table scape, Shelia. Elegant, warm, comfortable & inviting.
Have a beautiful week.
TTFN ~
Marydon
Sheila, I am so sad for your loss. Your tablescape tribute to Adelaide is just lovely. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...♥
You truly are the "QUEEN OF TABLESCAPE" Mrs. Magpie.
I so feel your pain with the loss of your bestest friend.
I'm in a fog too, including a head cold. Can't go to the hosp because of it. Sis calls me with updates and changes. Poor mom. She now has a bed sore on her little spine. She wants to go now. I'm hoping God doesn't leave her on earth for much longer.
I love you
xoxoxoxoxo
How beautiful, Sheila. That English Countryside tablesetting is definitely fit for the Duke of Gloucester salad plates!!
And those sheep - I just swooned seeing them laying so gracefully and elegantly on your table.
Hugs.
Eeek....love it all Miss Sheila! So beautiful and colorful...I'm over the moon happy and smiling!
Sorry for the loss of sweet Adelaide...
Love to you~Rebecca
It's wonderful to see you again, Sheila. Your post is beautiful! My condolences on the loss of your friend.
What a gorgeous tablescape...sooo many pretties! So sorry about your dear friend...
Blessings,
Cindy
Hello dearest magpie,
Your tablescape is gorgeous! Everything is so lovely and perfect, what great plates you have and the sheep are so cute with the lovely urn filled with roses and lilies.
You put together a wonderful table!
I hope you and your husband are well.
Love and hugs, Cindy
Hello Sheila,
Oh my, what a scrumptious bouquet! I love the pink and yellow together; so soft and pretty. Love your little sheep too. Your table is simply beautiful and how lovely it would be to sit and join you. Thank you for sharing and have a delightful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
This is absolutely GORGEOUS and it is such a heartfelt way to honor your friend. Anyone would be honored to be at this table.
Adelaide, what a lovely name and friend. You know my heart and prayers are with you. I just stopped in to have peek, I have to say that that is one beautiful tablescape, I especially love those sweet sheep. Hugs dear friend : )
Hi Sheila, great to visit again and see the beautiful Magpie stash of bright goodies, all captured perfectly on your camera. I agree with Chasity - I too would love to sit and have afternoon tea and a chat with you.
Hugs ~ Eddie
I love the roses, the heirloom lines and the little lamb.
Hi Sheila! So glad to still see you around. Saw your comment over at Lana's blog & so happy to see you still blogging away. It is so hard for me to keep up anymore with everyone, but know that I still think of you with a warm heart. xoxo Rhoda
PS I'm sitting at Lana's house now & she is a dear, love her!
How special you are! Where did you find the darling ducklings?
The place with the blue mural is Brandon; we went to Mimi's. I thought of you!
What a beautiful post, so full of sentiment, poetry and roses. Thank you for giving us a gift. Thinking of you in the loss of your friend.
Shelia -- this is simply beautiful!!!!
So glad you came over for a visit today. Totally enjoyed your English Countryside table settings, just stunning.
Ann
Hi Darling Sheila!
LOVE you too!
What beautiful flowers and tablescape. And, your narrative is lovely and matches and leads us through
the journey of your pretty designing!
Hi to Mr. Magpie too!
HUGS...
Kelee
Sheila,
Your choice of colors for this was absolutely beautiful. I am totally charmed by the pale colors with your fabulous white dishes. It appears I am a bit late with my comments, but so happy I got to see this post and so happy you are posting! Dianne
Sheila my dear friend. How nice it is to hear from you. I think of you often as I am out looking at plates while thrifting. I know it is silly. I also think of you each time Jackie O comes up and when I do think of you, I pray for you. I ask God to bless you in the ways that you need as you blessed me also with your friendship. I hope you are well and please know that I am only a email away. Much love to you my favorite blogger friend.
So good to hear from you!!! :) I'm slowly trying to go though my bloglist from my previous blog and determine who is still active.
I just adore your tablescape...absolutely beautiful!!! The roses are the perfect backdrop, and each piece goes so well together! You outdid yourself! :)
Hi Shelia,
This is a gorgeous table. I love the sweet flowers and the china is beautiful! Such a sweet tribute to your friend!
Bless you!
Sherry
Hello Sheila, Thank you for your visit today. I have not been visiting much and I am sorry to lose touch with you. I want to visit more but life seems to get in the way. I know you understand how that can be a problem. We just arrived home from Raleigh on Sunday night. Well actually Fl. after Raleigh which was in total a 10 day trip. Five children spread all over the place keeps us so busy. Bill stopped teaching this semester and that gives us more time to run the roads. That is good and bad. Smile
I pray this note finds you and your hubby feeling well and getting back to normal after the year you have had so far.
I do miss you and love you my dear friend. I am looking forward to more time this winter for visiting. It is quieter in the winter in the mountains. More of a slower pace.
xoxoxo, Jeanne
Hi Sheila.....such a beautiful table...I love those plates with the pears on them...I think last I heard your husband was a bit ill....I hope both him and you are doing well....it's so nice to be back reading my favorite blogs....now that I'm all moved into the new house I finally have a little time to sit and read again....
Thank you for stopping by!! Hugs Sue
Oh dear Sheila!!! So glad you visited! I've been incredibly busy lately... but I'm happy! Thanks for your sweet note.
Your tablescape is gorgeous- beautiful, beautiful centerpiece!
Sending hugs,
Monica xo
Thanks for your visit! I hope you are doing well. Will you be in St. Aug. this fall? Now that it's cooling off maybe we could get together!
My fall decor boxes are out of the attic as of tonight!! I hope to post some new fall decor soon! Please come back again!
Katherine
Good morning Sheila, Thanks for your visit to my pink pumpkins. I am really feeling in the PINK today. I hope you are too. I actually have time to play this morning. OR clean house!!! (a better idea actually) But I am visiting for a while first!
Love you bunches,
Jeanne xo
Hi Sheila
This tablescape is PERFECTION. I love it all. You captured 'english countryside' so wonderfully. The centrepiece is so pretty and all the colors just look really elegant togther. The little sheep just finish it off perfectly. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.
Lindsay

Stopping back by just to say hi! Still loving those lambs! Hope you are having a great weekend!...hugs...Debbie
Just wanted to come by and say Hi, and to thank you for such a sweet comment, You are so encouraging.
and one of the best friends here in blogland.
Enjoy your weekend.
Sue
You pulled this together with things you have on hand?! Wow, I'm impressed. It does very much remind me of the English countryside. I love those little green pagoda things. Beautiful!
Dear Sheila
How are you..Oliver and I both send warm wishes and hugs to you and your family. I haven't been on blogging too much these days as I wasn't feeling too great but am getting better. I have thought of Mr. Magpie and hope is well!
Your post is stunning, really a perfect interpretation and creative inspiration of the English Countryside. Your flowers are gorgeous as are the dishes.
Have a glorious day
xoxo
Bunny
What a beautiful table and all the more meaningful when I reached the ending. Blessings.
This is one of the most beautiful posts and tablescapes I have ever seen.
Each and every component is exquisite. You have arranged them perfectly.
These flowers and that china are so gorgeous!
So glad to have found you through blogging :)
