Late Summer Garden Party

As August unwinds and the days become shorter, it's still summer but there's definitely an extra crisp in the air that wasn't there yesterday, and a feeling of both wanting to hold on to the last rays of summer while craving the turn of the leaves and the slow shift inwards.

Vintage botanical plates:
The perfect colours and perfectly faded. The floral design definitely rings summer, but the warm tones and the gold accents with the perfect vintage fading say fall all over.

Vintage Brass Candle Holder & Vintage Brass Butterfly:

Brass adds a layer of colour and texture that without fail creates a vintage vibe and simple luxury. Peppering in brass and candles on a party table top is sure to create drama and interest and look amazing in pictures ;)

A Partridge in A Pear Tree

Vintage trivets so pretty you might prefer to hang them on the wall. More leaves and any opportunity to add a bird in the mix because they're irresistible. The partridge in the pear tree is of course a Christmas reference, but definitely in an atypical, and gorgeous at that, colour scheme. Great design details add a ton of texture and extra layers.

 Vintage Table Cloth

A bold botanical cotton table cloth faded to perfection makes for the perfect backdrop for this garden party. The right amount of fade gives it a dreamy feel, and though it's a bold design it's not competing with its surroundings but rather creating a base layer that surrounds and ties all the elements together.
