There's just something magical about having lunch in the sunshine.
The pottery is "Tangier," made by Tabletops Unlimited.
The red goblets, Fostoria's "Jamestown," were wedding gifts. The napkins are dish towels. And the flatware is "Avalon." The "tablecloth" is actually a throw; and the vase was swiped from the den, complete with fake flowers, which I adore ... and always will.
Love the colors - great summer table!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty table, Michael Lee! It is so colorful and a great place to dine. Hope your sons are feeling better and that your book is coming along well.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Beth
Lunch anywhere except my kitchen would be a welcomed change! Your pottery is colorful and fun! It really lends a festive feel to your table.
ReplyDeleteUsing dish towels is a relaxed and homey addition to the table... and putting a throw on your little lunch table gives it a rich look!
Now let's eat!

Such a beautiful, festive table. I'd love to meet your there ;)
ReplyDeletePretty! Great setting for lunch or something good to drink and good conversation.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! To hot for eating in the sunshine around here -- but I'm enjoying your pretty setting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special treat! Love this setting and the dishes are divine! Love the throw, and I also love the fact that your bowls pick up that bit of blue in your chairs. How neat!
ReplyDeleteHope your writing is coming along well and hope you are feeling much better. Thanks for hosting and Happy Foodie Friday!

That picture makes me want to pull up a chair and join you.. what a great 'prospect' (as they said in Austen's time) and table!
ReplyDeleteThe table is wonderful, made so by your photos. One of these days I'm going to figure out how to have every image be perfect!

Always a treat to see your post. Love your pottery and your setting! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteMichael, I am having trouble entering the Le Creuset giveaway. I can't leave a comment on your facebook page. It keeps going to my personal face book page. I know I am doing something very stupid but maybe others are having this happen to them too.
Oooooo, i totally love that Tangier pottery, it is GORGEOUS.
ReplyDeleteYour table is wonderful, what fun to eat a lively lunch there.
Ooooh, what a pretty table and I'd be so happy to join you! I linked up an adorably delicious polka dot chocolate cake recipe from a recent guest post. It's just so good that it has to be shared. :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Shirley
What beautiful dishes! I'm sure what went in them was equally as wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh this is such a treat... to plan lunch on the porch! love it!
