This year I am blessed to have great growth in my garden. The planting that we put in over the last couple of years has begun to show some colour. The result is that when we had some fine weather recently I was able to use some of the garden flowers to decorate the table for al fresco dining. I tend to use mostly table runners but when I use a parasol with a table I use table mats. Here are some of the outcomes.

Table runner and place mats are available from Dunnes Stores and Meadows and Byrne throughout Ireland. Both stores together with Tiger Stores have a range of colourful candles.
