30 Oct Thursday…Table Tips and giveaway!
So, as this is my first official blog post from 5ftinf’s new home, I thought I’d make it colourful!
It’s taken a lot of work and a massive leap of faith to get it here, and I will probably carry on tweaking a few things as I get used to working with it…I was helped out enormously by Emma from A Quiet Style blog, who lives in Brighton, and offered to come over last week and show me the basics, which was invaluable.
It feels a bit like I’ve just moved house, had the decorators in, and now have to work out how to live in the place…whilst slightly hankering back to the old blog… but I think that’s probably all part and parcel of change…
So, onto the post itself…
I went to visit my Mum this week, partly to collect a load of fantastic garden stuff in anticipation of my 5ftinf Workshop at the end of next week…I was amazed at how beautiful it was all looking ( …there’ll be a post with those pictures tomorrow ) and I came away with some beautiful things…particularly the moss!
…but to create today’s Autumnal rainbow I first arranged groups of colours
…and then I started to ease the colours together 
…and use a bit of purple punctuation
I always start with the colours in a more independent way, and then try and balance the whole composition making slight adjustments, which is why I felt the large orange leaf was needed on the left ( its a Crimson Glory leaf ) as well as the hints of white, but I also kind of crave circles, hence the old weight, larch cones, crab apples red-currants, and tea cup…even if the tea has been drunk by the time I’m finished!
Aside from the colour fest today, I also thought it would be a good day to offer a giveaway…so there are 3 ways you can enter:
1. you can simply leave a comment at the end of this post saying what your favourite colour, season and type of tea is…
2. you can like the 5ftinf Facebook Page and leave a comment ( so that I know who you are )
3. you can follow me on Twitter and tweet this post ( again, so I know who you are )
…I’ll be doing a draw, in a rather old fashioned, long-handed way of putting all the names in a hat and drawing out a winner on the morning of Friday 7th November.
I also just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has come over from the old blog a massively warm welcome to anyone new!

Posted at 11:47h, 30 Octoberhello, congratulations on your new home and a lovely one it is too.
nice to see a picture of yourself, you look lovely too ! and in a funny way you somehow look like your blog.
dear me i am blethering on, but it IS all so pretty.
my favourite colour of autumn is really all of the whole rosy golden lot of them, even the misty damp days have their mauves and greys to recommend them.
5ftinf
Posted at 12:07h, 30 OctoberThank you so much!!…and have noted your preferences! 😉
Sarah Lundie
Posted at 12:04h, 30 OctoberI’m new to your blog and it has brightened my days. My favourite colour, given I live just along the coast from you, is the bluey silver colour the sea is at the end of a calm, sunny day, my favourite season has to be Spring and my current favourite tea is the Green Tea with Roasted Rice I picked up in Waitrose the other day – who’d have thought tea could taste like cereal?!
5ftinf
Posted at 12:09h, 30 OctoberI’m so pleased to hear that Sarah!! Thank you!…and Green tea with roasted rice is a new one to me! Wow 😉
Gillian
Posted at 12:09h, 30 OctoberGorgeous. I love all of your work. My favorite color is green, season is autumn, and tea is plain old orange pekoe.
5ftinf

Valentina
Posted at 12:17h, 30 OctoberSuch a great colors I’m in love!
A love middle seasons, it’s really hard decide between spring and autumn, maybe a little bit more Autumn, I love the warm sunny days where I can smell the winter and colors get warm all around; about the color… all the shades between light pink and orange, a sort of peach with a hit of pink and tea…well about this I’m sure 100%, chai tea for ever.
Have a nice day, thanks for sharing your work.
julia
Posted at 12:18h, 30 OctoberHow lovely! Have been delighting on your ig for a while, flowers and paintings and I adore it!
So my favorite colour is purple or mauve, though i revive with the spring i love the smell of autumn (“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” to quote Keats) and lately my fav tea is orange blossom.
Heather Littlebearries
Posted at 12:28h, 30 OctoberMy favorite color is Green, my favorite season is Fall (which is in direct contradiction with my favorite color, LOL) and my favorite tea, at the moment, is Tazo’s Sweet Cinnamon Spice… it’s caffeine free and delicious… which, being pregnant and not allowed my normal dosing of caffeine, I really appreciate XD
5ftinf
Posted at 17:21h, 30 OctoberThat sounds a very healthy alternative! When I was pregnant I actually went off tea for the first few months…I felt completely bereft! 🙂
Jessica
Posted at 12:34h, 30 OctoberCongrats on your new shiny blog, it looks fab! I also enjoyed seeing your step by step. My favourite colour is purple, followed closely by teal. My favourite season is Autumn, definitely though spring is a close second. And my favourite tea is rose earl grey!
Mavis
Posted at 12:41h, 30 OctoberI’ve been your Instagram follower for a while now and your posts are always a great inspiration to me. Thank you for brightening my days with those beautiful photos!
My favorite season of the year is definitely spring and I love blush and mint tones! My all-time favorite tea is green tea!
5ftinf
Posted at 17:22h, 30 OctoberThat’s such a compliment…thank you!!…and I love that word ‘blush’! 😉
Mavis
Posted at 21:12h, 30 OctoberBlush rocks 😉
fraya
Posted at 12:42h, 30 OctoberIts difficult to pick a favourite colour but I’m always drawn to sea greens. My favourite season is late spring and I love Welsh Brew tea!
5ftinf
Posted at 17:23h, 30 OctoberThat all sounds such a romantic combination…thank you for sharing it 🙂
Hannah
Posted at 12:46h, 30 OctoberYour work is beautiful and so exciting to have come across just recently. Great time of year to do so too: your brights punctuate the greys. Keep it up!
Favourite colour of mine is yellow and the forms it takes in flowers. Season: American fall and tea: Yorkshire!
Anna
Posted at 13:25h, 30 OctoberI’ve just recently discovered your beautiful work through Instagram!! Incredibly inspiring 🙂 My favorite color is probably green, season is autumn, and current tea of choice, is a lovely pumpkin spice rooibos my sister gave me! Perfect for this time of year!!
Cristina
Posted at 13:27h, 30 OctoberMy favourite colour…is three colours – pink, blue and purple:) at the moment purple seems to win among the three.
My favourite season is Autum and my favourite tea is Earl Grey.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work, I admire it and find it very inspiring!
5ftinf
Posted at 17:24h, 30 OctoberEarl Grey is very high on my list too! So glad you find my work inspiring 🙂
Claire
Posted at 13:33h, 30 OctoberForest green, autumn, vanilla almond tea! You’re lovely 🙂
Claire
Posted at 13:35h, 30 OctoberSo lovely! Favourite color: forest green, favourite season: autumn, favorite tea: vanilla almond.
Cristine
Posted at 13:38h, 30 OctoberHello, Philippa! It’s time to say hello though I followed up your old blog during last month. Thank you for wonderful and inspiring pictures and pieces of nature-art. Will follow your new blod and site with pleasure. Hope, this new home will be cosy and enchanted.
It’s quite hard to chose favourite colour – colour of lavander or foggy ocean with pinch of wind or magic-green that can be found only in fairy-forest? As for season – I adore all of them, but most favourite are early autumn and february with its slow snowing that makes all trees wonderful. As for tea – any mix of herbs and flowers and even some berries (in fact tea without tea leves).
Wish you a wonderful day,
Cristine.
5ftinf
Posted at 17:25h, 30 OctoberHi Christine, it’s so nice to hear from a silent admirer!! Lavender and fog are a great match and I love snow too 🙂
Faith T.
Posted at 13:45h, 30 OctoberI’m an Instagram follower, but love your new blog! I like every blue I’ve ever met, but have yet to find a way to incorporate it well into my favorite season, autumn. The tea I always fall back on is any mint fresh from the garden, piping hot with no sweetener.
5ftinf
Posted at 17:27h, 30 OctoberOh, that’s great to hear!Blue’s are tricky in autumn, but I find some succulents and conifers sort of do the trick…as does a blue cup ;P
Julia
Posted at 13:55h, 30 OctoberGorgeous post, looking forward to the workshop next week! And as I’m here my favourite colour is blue, season is spring and currently loving a tea called ‘walk in the woods’ that a friend sent me, it’s delicious. Enjoy the sunshine today xx
Bunia
Posted at 14:05h, 30 OctoberFavourite colour is torquise, season must be summer and tea would be lemon and ginger.
5ftinf
Posted at 17:28h, 30 OctoberThat is a very lovely combination…thank you for sharing 😉
Charlotte

Jacquie x
5ftinf
Posted at 17:31h, 30 OctoberHi Jacquie, and so glad you enjoy my work and are inspired too! …and I agree Autumn really just provides a different sort of ‘flower’. Yorkshire tea is always a strong contender for the top of my everyday tea list too 🙂
Barb Bamber

Trinity
Posted at 16:08h, 30 OctoberWhat a beautiful new blog! I’ve enjoyed following you on Instagram and have now favorited your website. My favorite color is teal. Season would have to be summer! (I’m from Hawaii and now live in Santa Barbara, California.) And favorite tea changes with the season. Right now it’s peppermint green tea (also known as Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Green tea). Thank you for all of your lovely photos and posts.
Denise Karan
Posted at 16:34h, 30 OctoberI love your blog and find your pictures truly beautiful… I can spend aaaages looking at them!
Oooo, you chose a tough question… I suppose if I were really forced to choose I’d say green, in all it’s wonderful shades. My favourite season is easy – it’s Spring, and my favourite tea is Lipton’s English Breakfast tea.
5ftinf
Posted at 17:37h, 30 OctoberThank you so much Denise!…and green is such a great colour with so many amazing shades; I can spend ages just looking at green! 😉

Julia
Posted at 17:41h, 30 OctoberHow lovely! I adore your instagram flowers and paintings, they are ever inspiring!
My favorite colour is purple or mauve, though i revive with spring i love the fragrance of autumn (“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness!” as Keats says) and my preferred tea lately is orange blossom.
Cheers!
bekki
Posted at 18:35h, 30 OctoberHi, ive just found your website and have had a good look around here and in your shop. I love your use of colour! You have a great understanding of it! My husband tells me I have synaesthesia, id never heard of it until I met him. I thought everyone saw things the same way! For me its sound, I cant play music but I can paint it! I’m glad ive found your website, thank you for sharing the inspiration. Almost forgot Colour: purple Season: Autumn Tea: pai mai tai.
5ftinf
Posted at 08:01h, 01 NovemberThank you so much Bekki! Apparently most synaesthetes don’t realise they are for ages because, like you say, you just think that’s how the world is and how everyone must see it…sound was the first and most predominant feature of my own synaesthesia ( I reckon I could have read music if it was in colour and had some different shapes in it…) As I explored my own synaesthesia I realised that you just have to turn off other stuff in your mind and concentrate on the abstract that’s already there/happening…life is often too busy to be able to focus on it properly…you’ve got to try eating or drinking something with a strong flavour ( and not too much distracting texture ) with your eyes closed in a quiet place…bet you’ll see it! x
gloria
Posted at 19:45h, 30 OctoberI have to say that I love any season, any colour. Why should we have to pick a favourite? I can only thank you for your beyond beautiful and inspiring tables. Some of your table colour palettes have inspired a couple of the colour palettes in my tiny watercolours. So a big thanks for sharing your garden and your talent through your compositions.
5ftinf
Posted at 08:03h, 01 NovemberNo one should have to pick favourites, don’t worry…but sometimes you just can’t help, and I often think it’s quite fun just to consider things to work out what you’re naturally drawn too 😛 So pleased you like my work and that you find it inspiring too! Big thanks back! 😀
gloria ferrer viader
Posted at 19:48h, 30 OctoberOne can only love any season, any colour. Why should one have to choose with such endless possibilities. I can only thank you for sharing your beyond beautiful and inspiring tables. Some of your colours palettes have inspired a few of my tiny watercolurs. So thanks for so generously sharing your garden and talent.
Valérie
Posted at 19:58h, 30 OctoberAnother fan here ! I’ve been foloowing you on instagram for a while, and I just love your work and pictures !
Thanks a lot for your giveaway. My fave color will be orange. Or a nice red. Best season would be early spring, and favorite tea is red berries ones.
Wishing you a longlife to your new blog !
5ftinf
Posted at 08:04h, 01 NovemberHi Valerie…thank you so much!!…you’ve obviously got those warm colours drawing you 😀
kazzy
Posted at 20:20h, 30 OctoberSooo much beauty in your Artful table displays… I was admiring mine today with a lit pumpkin, covered in pumpkin seeds, glitter and paints, garden and illustration books, my daughters drawings of a cat bat or a bat cat (i know what your thinking have i typed that right?), half drunk cup of tea and some Halloween sweets. Not much space for dinner plates so we have eaten off our laps my daughter and myself ;0)… my fav colour is turquoise though i do love the Cornish blue, I do like an earl grey tea and my fav season has to be Autumn…but summer was grand this year!!!!. I think my dresser top is like your table displays the colour and the objects change with the seasons and its always a joy to have a change about ;0)
5ftinf
Posted at 08:08h, 01 NovemberThank you for sharing your glittery pumpkin and bat cat! I’m always drawn to turquoise and blue and celadon is a favourite too…it’s great to rediscover the nature table isn’t it…even if it’s a nature dresser 😛
julie
Posted at 20:34h, 30 OctoberMmm, favourite colour would have to be maroon but I’m looking at my turquoise silk coat hanging on the line and love that colour too! I have to admit that I mainly wear black and grey and like to add a block of colour using scarves and cardigans depending on my mood. Favourite season is Spring when ALL the colours of nature appear. My favourite black tea is Dilmah’s double strength but I continue to search for the Japanese arrowroot tea that I haven’t been able to find for about 15 years (despite asking every new Asian grocery store I come across in Sydney). PS your Instagram posts bring beauty into my life everyday. Thanks for sharing your work
5ftinf
Posted at 08:11h, 01 NovemberHi Julie…I have that exact think with black and grey…I used to wear ridiculously colourful stuff, and then life changed…and so did I ( I think all that love of colour now goes into my work so I don’t actually need to wear it! ).
I like the fact that there’s a tea you’re always searching for…and so pleased my work brings a bit of beauty to you 🙂
Emma
Posted at 20:42h, 30 OctoberIt’s looking great Philippa! Hope all is good with you, and the workshop goes well next week, so disappointed I can’t make it. Just about to click on your workshop menu to find out if there are any more planned! X

My favourite colour is blue, season is spring and currently in enjoying a tea called ‘walk in the woods’ from yumchaa, it’s delicious xx
Sahar Ahmed
Posted at 08:58h, 31 OctoberI truly envy your talent! I have been an ardent follower for the past 3 or 4 months and am utterly disappointed when I do not find a post from you everyday in my Instagram feed. You are an inspiration…
My fave colour would be blue – though to be honest I love all colours of the rainbow. My fave season would be summer. My fave tea is good old fashioned Earl Grey 🙂
5ftinf
Posted at 08:12h, 01 NovemberHi Sahar, That is such a compliment!! Thank you…I’m partial to an Earl Grey too 😉
Caz S
Posted at 11:48h, 31 OctoberI love your table art ! My fave season is Autumn, favorite color is orange and my absolute favorite tea is Yorkshire Gold …… So good !

My favourite colour is red (or turquoise!), I just love the rich autumn colours, and (dare I say it!) I’m actually a coffee drinker!
5ftinf

Jane
Posted at 17:50h, 05 NovemberThank you for always sharing your amazing photos to us 😀
It was really inspired me a lot, and it was always bring out kind, lovely and comfortable feeling for me 😀
My favourite colour is BLUE ( Blue is always the best for me!! When I saw blue things, I will be happy-mad-crazy )
The season that I love the most is WINTER. I live in Malaysia, I never been in winter before, but when I searching some video or picture online I was like always dreaming that I was in the environment and yes I will definitely go to any country that have winter HAHA 😀
I don’t really drink tea, but when I drink I choose GREEN TEA FRAPPUCCINO, the cold is always the best for me. But at the same time I hope I can find some Blue Tea one day, and I will drink it for the rest of my life HAHA:D
Rose
Posted at 17:50h, 05 NovemberI LOVE all of your work and am saving up to buy one of your paintings – adore ‘the taste of green olives’.

Posted at 18:49h, 05 NovemberFound you through Instagram a couple of weeks ago, and every time you post I’m blown away by the beauty of your photos. Thank you!
I like most colours and it depends on the day which one I’d call my favourite. I was really into mustard yellow for a long time, but I think it’s changing… Maybe a dark red wine colour?
5ftinf
Posted at 11:33h, 07 NovemberThank you so much! I’m so inspired by the abundance of colour in the world…amazing constant inspiration right in front of me! Really pleased you like my work 😉

Posted at 19:21h, 05 NovemberI stumbled across your Instagram feed through the discover option. And I have particularly loved your rainbows, blues and greens. I’m very much looking forward to buying some calendars for my mother in law. An amateur photographer and prolific gardener 🙂
I love blue
I love spring
And a spring day with chai tea from a blue cup would just be wonderful 🙂

Danielle Jean
Posted at 19:30h, 05 NovemberMy favorite color is a tie between deep burgundy and royal purple. I enjoy the time of year that is typically the week of the first snowfall near me, the transition between fall and winter, where you get both. And my favorite kind of tea is any kind of tea with a fruity accent, and I’ve been preferring cranberry apple for a while now.
5ftinf
Posted at 11:29h, 07 NovemberThanks so much for sharing all that Danielle…Ilove the sense of those deep colours combined with a snowy winter too 🙂

Posted at 20:10h, 05 NovemberHi
The pic you take And post are so inspiring And they fill the heart with so many feelings. I cant wAit fot my eldest girl to grew a bit more so I can show her your work. It’s like music.
I love winter maybe it’s never to harsh where I live.
I love varieties of grey color especially when they blend.
I love tulsi tea.
Good luck to you
Anat
5ftinf
Posted at 11:26h, 07 NovemberI am so, so pleased that you see the music in the pictures! I always want to create that same flow which a piece of music has, and if written music was in colour I know I’d have found it much easier to read and interpret!
I also love passing on the love of nature and arranging to children. 🙂
( btw I’ve never heard of tulsi tea! )
Rachel Franklin
Posted at 20:31h, 05 NovemberI’m new to your beautiful work and blog – love following your insta feed. My favorite color is green. My favorite season, visually, is Autumn. But I’m most physically comfortable in Spring. My favorite flavor of tea is a strong cinnamon spice. I also love Chai. Thanks for the giveaway!
5ftinf
Posted at 11:22h, 07 NovemberBig welcome to you Rachel and thank you for the compliments…I know what you mean about the ohysical comfort of a season…Spring has definitely become more appealing as I’ve got older 😉

Posted at 23:54h, 05 NovemberHi! Loving the rainbow arrangements, as ever. Here goes:
Colour: (currently) lime green.
Season: spring.
Tea: following a bit of a cold last week, I’m really enjoying a bit of lemon and ginger. Mm!
Lo.x
5ftinf
Posted at 11:20h, 07 NovemberI find those rainbow arrangements so satisfying to put together,so I’m chuffed you like them too! Lime green is great and always love seeing it with a turquoise and woody brown 😉

Posted at 05:20h, 06 NovemberI follow you on Instagram but always want more – so I check out the extra pictures on your website. Adds such beautiful natural colour to my days. My favourite colour is spring green but my favourite season is fall. My favourite tea is a special black tea blend created for my favourite bookstore called the Bookman Tea.
5ftinf

Posted at 09:25h, 06 NovemberHello from Italy :). I’m new in the blog, I discovered you with instagram. Your creations and works are fantastic. Compliments!
I love the spring but also the autumn is wonderful, indeed I love the colours that nature offers in this period. I prefer herbal tea.
Kiss 🙂
5ftinf
Posted at 11:16h, 07 NovemberThank you so much! Autumn is indeed wonderful 🙂
Beverley Moffitt
Posted at 00:15h, 07 NovemberLove your pictures, you’re such a talented artist. Planning on spending next week foraging to try and create a 5ftinf inspired scene of my own. I love the colours of autumn but jot the cold, windy, wet weather that goes with it; my favourite season is Spring – all that new life and the start of sunny days. My favourite colours at the moment are teal and mustard and my favourite tea changes all the time – I’m a big fan of rooiboos (redbush) as it’s caffeine free and naturally sweet but, as the cold weather creeps in, I’m drinking lots of spiced herbal teas, camomile and spiced apple is my current fave.
