Mushroom Soup ~ 5-2 Diet

I am always sharing posts about my food props and how I came about owning them.This lovely pair of china bowls that are featured in the pictures below are a new addition to my collection.

They were a recent Mothersday gift from my daughters together with some other gifts. The pastel colours with the floral pattern on them makes them so adorable and perfect for my soup photos below.
