To Set a Table.

I adore decorating and setting tables almost as much as I enjoy cooking. I think that each table helps to create the mood of the meal. I don't have a tonne of stuff, but I do think that I have been fairly successful at using what we do have. I find it pretty easy, and inexpensive, to collect different vases, platters, serving implements, napkins and placemats. Varying sets of dishes, tablecloths and cutlery will come with time.

Above, are some examples of my favourite table settings - compliments go to my mother in law who has been my "food photographer" for the past few years.
