Welcome to Tablescape Thursday ~
This week I’d like to invite you to a VERY small luncheon table for two ~
So cozy on a blustery Autumn day.
The weather can rip outside, but we’re here by the bright windows, while the comfy fire nearby will keep us snug.
Our table this week is actually a butler’s service tray which rests upon folding legs. I’ve turned the tray upside down to
Happy Tablescape Thursday ~This week I’m doing a Mother-Daughter Tea with a spring theme.I love this time of year when the early blooms are coming into their own ~ it’s so convenient to step into the garden to snip some stems for an instant casual arrangement.I’m using this Royal Winton Chintz pattern ~ it’s not vintage (yet)it’s a reproduction, made in England in 1995.Meyer lemon slices from one
I’m wondering if you can imagine my GLEE at the prospect of taking our first dinner of the year out in the French gardentoday?Tomorrow we’re due for more sprinkles, but today was in the 70’s so I grabbed the opportunity to set this spur-of-the-moment table and enjoy the weather.Nothing fancy ~ I kept everything simple.The little black metal bistro table works out perfectly for two~Most of the
Welcome to Tablescape Thursday, hosted by our lovely host Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch!This week I’m hosting a Bright Winter Brunch for Tablescape Thursday.I started with this table cloth by April Cornell, bright, deep pink in a jacquard pattern.It happens to pick up a couple of the colors in these Martha Stewart dishes.I don’t have the matching napkins, so I used these from Williams-Sonoma
It is a January Anniversary !I know that a black and white table can be formal, but I wanted to keep this one on the casual side , relaxing and enjoyable. With just a few sparkly touches to dress it up a bit for this special occasion.I owe you an explanation ~ It was a challenge to shoot this table today as the day started out rainy dark and gloomy.Perfect, (or so I thought) for a dimly lit
Welcome! I’m serving up a Christmas Breakfast in the dining nook. It’s so chilly outside, but the fireplace is crackling and warm ~ please pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable.Lots of pictures today, so the page may take a few moments to load. Thank you for your patience ~ I’ll keep the chit-chat to a minimum. :)Here we are in the cozy dining nook, again at the antique claw-foot
Welcome to Tablescape Thursday ~ I’m so glad you stopped by! I borrowed this idea for this weeks table from a lovely historical Bed and Breakfast Inn here in Oregon.The china is one of our everyday sets, Liberty Blue printed on Staffordshire Ironstone made in England, which I’ve shared on my blog before. Now, usually I probably wouldn’t have combined the red linens, golden flatware and charger

Hello and welcome to my corner of Oregon ~ Please come stay for a while while we take a look at the table I’ve set for you. I hope you like it!~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Shorter days and a noticeable nip in the morning air is an indication our days of dining outdoors will soon be finished for the year.We’re taking full advantage while the weather cooperates!This time I chose a bit of a French-country theme, a
Thank you for stopping by for this weeks Tablescape Thursday!As we approach autumn, I like to take every opportunity to dine al fresco while the weather is still warm.I have some authentic old, old tablecloths which are dear to me, but most are over 50 years old and I try to take good care of them. For outdoor dining (as under this Douglas Fir tree), I’m more comfortable using reproduction

Please join me for a 1950’s Luncheon on the terrace.I’m stepping out of my comfort zone as I usually set the table with more subdued colors and allow the food to make the statement. Not this time ~ for inspiration I drew upon memories of growing up in the 50’s and 6o’s. I hope you enjoy! I used the bright, primary colors in the reproduction tablecloth to build the color scheme.Yellow Bordallo
