A LATE SUMMER TABLE SETTING....






Late summer.....and the nights are drawing in, with a definite autumnal feel in the air first thing in the morning......however, we are still enjoying glorious sunshine and heat this week here in the UK during the day, and we are all making the most of it!  





Last weekend, we enjoyed the company of good friends over supper on Saturday night.....




Hanging on to summer, with drinks outside before......only when we came in, did we realise quite how 'dewy' and damp, and dark it had become!






Beautiful artichokes....gone to flower......I always save a few to bring inside over the winter...little works of art!





And the roses, still going strong...along with the last of the sweet peas.....





Keeping that 'summer feeling' going for just that little bit longer...

Hope you too are enjoying and making the most of these last days of summer.....?

    Your supper table looks really elegant Sophia! Such a pretty outdoor seating area you have too. If I was one of your guests I would not want to leave....

    Hello Sophia! The second photo caught my breath with how the sun is laying across the table, I could feel how calm and peaceful and still it was. It feels like late afternoon. Wow amazing how a photo can create such feelings.
    I am so excited to find your blog! I love following ladies from across the pond :)
    I am your newest follower.
    Have a great day!

      Thank you Inge for your kind comment. The artichokes are such a simple thing to bring in from the garden, yet look so striking I think when they are in flower.

      Have a lovely week.

    Your dining room looks absolutely beautiful Sophia and those little artichokes are such a clever idea. I am being rather optimistic that the summer will extend itself but I can also feel the nights drawing in too.

      Thank you Paul! Glad you like the artichokes....do you ever use them on your beautiful wreaths?

    Hello Sophia....I found you through Belgium Pearls, Greet highly recommends your blog and I'm so glad too it's beautiful. Your table scape is stunning and I love the artichoke flowers. We're getting very cool at night now too here in New England so we're enjoying the last of the summer.

    I hope to enjoy more of your wonderful blog.
