But it really adds such character to the dining experience with all the other lights off....makes you feel like you are having a type of haunted midnight picnic....and we all love those right??....right??
hmm..well ok then....i love it, and i especially love how easy it was to make! (a simple matter of tying branches (snipped from my aunt's hazel tree..i think it was a hazel tree...i could be wrong) to the stem of a cast iron parasol base and winding twinkle lights around it.....at least, i'm saying it was a simple matter, because of course SuperD did it, so it really was genuinely easy for me)
I wanted it to look like it was still growing (without bringing dirty soil into my pristine house, of course) so we built a little twig-enclosure round the base (expandable trellis fencing from the garden centre) and filled it with rocks taken from the decorations at our wedding.
....and that was pretty much it!
...sparkle-tastic!!
That is a framed menu from a ristorante and pizzeria in Roma in the background, so I like to pretend that i'm eating on a ivy laced terrace in italy under the stars...mmmm...ok! that's enough sentimentality!
With this, the ivy garland above the table, the ivy stencil on the wall and the grape-vine wine rack my house is starting to look like the site of a invasion....one which the garden is evidently winning!
...but, i've got no problem with that!

I had something that I really wanted to say.... but then got sidetracked by talking about picture frames and can't remember. My bad!
I'm up for a meal in your pizzeria in Roma any day beside the atmospheric sparkley starlights!
Bring it on!
Yummer, I mean Mummer!xoxo
