How would you set the table for summer?

raining here this morning as well...your images a great escape. Ordered an electric ice cream maker this week...we'll be ready for outdoor dining as soon as it arrives!
ReplyDeleteI'm dreaming with you Jeanne since it's pouring buckets here for the fourth day in a row...grrr! I just want some warmth and I would be happy but your pictures make me smile.

ReplyDeleteThis is one beautiful setting you have shared with us. I love the flowers and the fairy lights too!
Happy Tuesday.

Just lovely and I wish we had the weather to match! Love the idea of using the good china outside - why not?? It was great to see you last night - I'll be in touch soon so we can set a date to have you guys over when all of our out of town guests clear out. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your idea of setting the good china out and adding flowers.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous post! Planning my brother's engagement party for this weekend - already have the pink drink with limes lined up, and the mix-matched china out, now have to score peonies at the market this weekend! :) Maybe you should come by to soak it up at some point this weekend too...

If the East Coast will ever dry out (I know...no sympathy there, right?!) I can't wait to entertain a little outdoors. I'm all about lots of candles and casual fresh blooms. My husband is a mast griller, so I'll focus on the appetizers, salad and cocktails.
ReplyDeleteAnd lots and lots of twinkly lights in the trees!!!

Oh how I miss having a garden! You really showed the loveliest options here Jeanne (as always) and made me dream (also as always!). :)
ReplyDeletethat porch is stunning!
ReplyDeleteWell, you did your best to brighten things up today. See, it worked: I am writing this message at 4:30pm and the rain finally stopped. Well done!!! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
