Note: This is an oldie, but I thought it would be fun to pull it out of the archives for Valentine's Day!
There's just something magical about having remembering a long-ago lunch in the sunshine. The birds twittered from trees and warm, buttery light streamed over the pasture.
When the chilly winter days close in, I always look back at this picture and remind myself that bright days will come again.
This tablescape began with a soup bowl that looked like the sun, round and yellow with a touch of minty green and red.

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.
A Tablescape Thursday contribution.
This would be a GREAT TT post, too! :-) This is sooo festive...I love it! Now I'm eyeing all my throws...what a great tablecloth! I love those "fake" flowers, too...never need watering and never die on ya! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm on my way! Pretty setting, cute tablescape, and I agree - I'm a faux flower fan, too ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteHow inviting this looks...stunning color!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love the rich textures and patterns.

You have inspired me: My DH and I will have lunch on our deck on Wed. I have to work tomorrow:(:( LOOOVE your pottery and now will think of throws to use as tablecloths! Can't wait to see the next post! YOu are amazing! Hugs and XOXOXO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteHey, Gollum, haven't been by in awhile & I see you are still shopping at Big Lots. I haven't been in there lately either, but you got me excited to go again. Not that I need a thing. Those white dishes are beautiful, saw that Katherine got some too. Love your tablescape on this post too! Hope your summer is starting off good. :)
ReplyDeleteI adore your "tablecloth"!
ReplyDeleteG... I think this would look pretty on any porch.. how about a Texas porch.. come on down and bring your dishes with you!
ReplyDeleteblessings. Dixie

ReplyDeleteOk, I keep seeing the maker of this pottery come up - and now I MUST Google it and see what kind of trouble I can get into. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love it G! I wish I was close by so I could pop over for lunch with you. What fun conversations we could have. They would probably consist of dish talk, but oh well.
Thanks for sharing, Barb
How pretty! Love that china -- so nice for dining al fresco. And I'm looking forward to the bigger porch project ... Algae and grime? Yummm... have we got lunch in the making?

Evening, Dear Gollum! Oh, I'm in hog heaven - so beautiful and those dishes! I love them!
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay, hold on...I'm coming!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
p.s. I'm reading "She Flew the Coop" and am just loving it!
What a festive, beautiful tablescape.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone else having problems with their blog, or other blogs, loading? I have stripped mine to the bone and it's still slow.
ReplyDeleteNice tablescape :) Eating outside is so nice!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Allison
You're new header is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd what time is lunch?
Ah, so pretty. Has kind of a south western flair in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
Ok, I'll be there! I'll bring this great new drink I found this weekend.
ReplyDeleteNow that is one colorful, feast for the eye table! Love those vivid colors. Of course red has always,always been my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteNow in my world of silks, I find they are more acceptable if you use the word faux instead of fake! LOL!
Looking forward to seeing more this week.
Gollum:
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful you shared that you have winter grime. I was just asking hubby if there were any pristine yards in the world and he said No, so get over it!
I finished Crazy Ladies and it was wonderful and now I wish it was a movie. And I wish the three new books of yours I ordered would get here...
Have A Terrific Tuesday

I love the new look of your blog, and what a lovely header photo. And wonderful colors in your tablescape. Just Beautiful, all of it.
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show that an old throw can make sure an impact with a set of dishes. This is so cute and Iove the out door eating areas too. Great glasses.
ReplyDeleteSuch great color! I love it as it conveys such a feeling of summer escape. Is the vase Roseville? It is beautiful. Sally
ReplyDeleteIt's so Arizona to me ... I don't know why, but it is ... BEAUTIFUL and Arizona. :) Maybe I'm just tired of the cold weather? Who knows!? LOL! Can't wait to see your porch all done up and Met Monday'ed!
ReplyDeleteI love the tablesetting! Very cheerful for an almost summer day! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove that china! This is such a "happy" table setting. laurie
ReplyDeleteThe white tablecloth does look like white sand (if I squint my eyes a little...) :D Beautiful table - you really have a knack!! I'm off to Big Lots just because of you!!
ReplyDeleteLove this...I'm feeling a little mexican dinner out here on the porch!
