I'm wondering if you can imagine my GLEE at the prospect of taking our first dinner of the year out in the French garden
today?
Napkin rings; Sur la Table.
I'm sending a huge bouquet of thanks to our dear host of Tablescape Thursdays, Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Please click the logo above to visit Susan's blog and see all of this weeks participants.
I really enjoy April Cornell prints. How lovely to be able to set the table outside. Everything looks so inviting!

Great table outdoors. I love the bubble glasses. I have seen them at Target and haven't gotten around to purchasing them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMari, YOur table is garden perfect! Oh, I love the colors you used. Browns, ivory and green. You have blended them so perfectly. Your napkins make me weak in the knees! Everything is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYvonne
You have set a lovely table. The first of many for the coming seasons I am sure.
ReplyDeleteGlad you could enjoy the weather. We managed a few hours on our deck this week too. Yay spring.

You are so good at this Mary~
I just love this time of year, when you can get out into the garden to eat. You've set a very pretty table. And I love the picture of the inside of the tulip. They are one of my very favorite flowers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tablescape Mary. I love how you "water coloured" the last photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dinner in the garden.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had a meal on the back porch, yet. I think it's beginning to be warm enough though.
Love this post!
Very nice. I love the green glasses and the napkins and ... and ...
ReplyDeleteI love all details, its realy nice.
That is so beautiful! Love those colors and the photography!!! Yay Spring and dining al fresco again!
ReplyDeleteOh, those tulips are such a gorgeous color! They really pop on your serene and elegant table. Love those green stemmed glasses!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I need to do this sometime:)
ReplyDeleteMary - Such a beautiful table you set and what a perfect setting in the garden. We have been eating outside as well but with Sara climbing on everything now I have no time to take pics. We have been in the 80's for a few days now and it's so pleasant to eat out - I think it makes the food even taste better ;-)

p.s. I asked hubby if we could get some chickens in the yard and he said no way...so I will need to come visit your blog often to get my baby chick fix..although fresh eggs would be so nice each morning.Sighhh
Love it! This is beautiful. I really enjoy your blog...the recipes and the wonderful photos. I have especially enjoyed all the chick pics lately. My husband and I dream of one day having chickens. What fun!
ReplyDeleteSo charming garden table!!!

So beautiful and serene, Mari. You've transported me to your garden with your gorgeous photography. I'm there!

Oh so beautiful...

I wish I could sew!

Hi Mari,
ReplyDeleteYour table is so lovely - garden dining is one of my very favorite ways to enjoy any meal. Your tulips and crocuses look absolutely perfect and our woven jacquard cloth gives just the right weight for an early spring day. I just know you'll love our jacquards this season. One of my favorites is the Papillon Jade - looks great with an embroidered cotton cloth over top:

I always enjoy seeing your lovely tables!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!
A sun-dappled meal out of doors is always so restorative and your beautiful table makes it more so. Please stop by when you have some time. -- Jane F.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely -- I especially love the last picture!
ReplyDeleteYour table is stunning. I'm a city dweller, so especially love the outdoor setting. I'm curious about the wonderful picture at the end and how you created it!
ReplyDeleteI don't know where to start with telling you how much I love this! Every single touch is just gorgeous to me. I could sit at that table and bask in it's beauty for hours. I was sad to read you got those chargers a long time ago as I do love those. Thanks for telling us where everything came from and for sharing this beauty with us!
ReplyDeleteDonna
Love this style, I have those cabbage dishes, love them, so simple and elegant at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI really like the natural rantan/wicker charger showcasing the cabbage plate. Nice!! I'm so partial to ivy, love the look.
Good job!
Beautiful! Love your gorgeous pics! Your napkin rings from Sur La Table work so well with your BL chargers...how cool is that!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! Dinner in the garden looks like the perfect spot. Your photos are amazing. Thank you for sharing this delight.
