Tell us a bit about the story behind Mrs Tablescape.

I have always loved to create unique table settings for my family and friends. With the increased requirement to stay at home (due to COVID-19 lockdowns), I found myself escaping to the vintage yet contemporary world of tablescaping and table setting.
