Things that make me happy

These coloured linen tablecloth were purchases from the Antiques and Home Show at Lincoln this week. They just shriek 'spring' to me, and I love them. I bought them just before the Lost Wallet incident, so I hadn't fully appreciated their loveliness until the drama was over and I'd got everything safely home.

I am not sure that my shots capture the cornflower blue background of this cloth. It really is a beautiful thing, and washing away the musty smell and restoring it to lavender-fragranced fabulousness was just the tonic I needed in a week which has been filled with sad news in our small community.
