We appreciated the nice weather on Saturday and had a really long walk through the woods. On this occasion I mostly stumble on unimpressive odds and ends which are perfect for a table setting. That’s why today I want to show a quite natural setting for tea-time. A lot of birch trees have been chopped during the last days and every now and then a white piece of bark pops up throught the wet, brownish grass. One of them rolling up in a nice way I took home together with some meadow-grass. The fern, ivy and green stems I found in our garden.
\nAfter cleaning and drying the bark I decorated it with fern, two green stems and an ivy butterfly. Besides I placed a small tea light in a clear holder. Two smaller butterflies fixed to a small twig are tied to a papernapkin. The butterflies are made with ivy leaves and points of twigs glued to the bottom of the leaves so that they just stick out a little bit. They can be glued to the leaves either with a Scotch tape or a bead of glue. I’ve varnished my leaves to see how long they’ll keep this way. After three days they’re still looking fresh so that you can prepare them even 1-2 days before your event.
\nThe grass was placed in a plain vase decorated with a large felt ribbon that is fixed with double sided adhesive tape.
\nAll things considered we have a nice but cheap decoration making you feel comfortable.<\/p>\n
