Autumn Season Table

I always thought our summer season table looked a bit scruffy, mainly because I didn't put a cloth on the table, and also because it always had a multitude of flowers and other bits of greenery strewn over it, all in various stages of decay. But this was the way Eve wanted it, and that's the important thing. She really enjoyed the summer and took so much interest in the world around her. She was regularly taking caterpillars, weeds and flowers (and the odd nut and bolt) in to show her pre-school friends and teachers. I think she's slowly accepting that we can enjoy flowers without picking them now, which is quite a relief.
Anyhow, I really love our Autumn table. On it:- blackberry fairy (thank you, Gill!); a hedgehog and wooden mushrooms that I found in the saw mill at BlistsHill, a local Victorian Town; some lavender from the garden; some shells and stones from various beach visits; a butterfly, because our garden is still full of them; and a beautiful card, made by our litte friend, Carys, which Eve decided would look lovely on the table.
