Now for my Sunday dinner with friends. We were not sure of the weather for this day. Our sunshine had disappeared and the winds were picking up. Finally about half an hour before they arrived I decided to take a chance on the weather and I set the table.
We don't get the hot sun back there anymore since the trees have grown so big. Not that it was sunny that day. Of course Maxine is right there hoping for a place setting of her own.
It is funny how the wine glasses have disappeared in the photo. I should have poured some red to help them show up.
My dripless candles were apparently not cooperating. We also had to relight them a couple of times when the ice cold wind blew in. Us ladies were wrapped in afghans shortly after dinner. We finally gave up the challenge and went inside to enjoy dessert.
Very pretty! I love your deck, too.

Lori,
ReplyDeleteI love this!! It is more of a backyardscape than tablescape. I've never heard you mention that beautiful veggie garden! And your lovely deck! I want to know what kind of flowers were in the pitcher on the table...I haven't seen them before.
The tablescape is pretty. Sorry about the candles. That must have been a bummer cleaning up that pretty candelabra.
You know, we can sit out night after night but when we have company, it's either too hot, too cold or the bugs invade. Such is life.
Have a great week, my friend!! :-)
xoxo

Yes the deck...I have recently spent a week staining it. Two decks actually as there is one up top too. Will have to do a met Monday with the pictures.
ReplyDeleteJane: those flowers are imported from some far away land where they grow in a factory with underpaid labor putting them together. So sorry.
Hi Lori,
ReplyDeleteGreat tablescape and fabulous back yard. It makes me want to put a deck in our backyard. It looks so relaxing. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outdoors setting. Your deck looks so nice and your table is so soothing! Love the soft green colors!

What a lovely deck tablescape! Love all the greens.
ReplyDeleteOH MY...your deck is wonderful. So nice and big, no problem with several tables.
ReplyDeleteIt's the wind that causes problems with candles, yes, even the dripless ones.
Sorry the weather was not cooperating but I bet everyone had a great time!
An afghan in July? How lucky you were!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, I especially love your lantern in the background. I'm SO jealous that it was actually cold there!
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, I love your setting and your wonderful table. It all looks soooo completely inviting! Wow, when's dinner?

Hi Lori! What a lovely setting! I just love outdoor dining and your deck is perfect for it. Beautiful table!...Christine
ReplyDeleteLove how well those DRIPLESS work... LOL! Lovely deck and table!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice...love eating outside!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe someone needed an afghan for warmth somewhere! We're dying in the heat here in Texas! You've set a lovely serene table here in a most scenic setting.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
What a great place to entertain your friends. The table is lovely. Send some of that cool air down our way! Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteChristi
You sure did a great job on your deck. This looks so pretty Lucy. I had that same dining set in Canada,and it lasted forever and was so comfortable. You have it all done so nicely with the pitcher of flowers.
ReplyDeleteXO Lucy.
Love the lush yard! Hard to picture it covered in snow here soon! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice outdoor setting! I agree about the towels, much better than napkins!
ReplyDeleteVery soft and pretty! I hope the weather cooperated!
ReplyDeleteKatherine
The freshness of the colors and the simplicity of the setting really appeal to me. Great photo of your "dripless" candles! Your witty comments alone are well worth the price of admission!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your before-and-after pictures of staining your decks.
Have a great weekend!
A very fresh and elegant look.Thanks for sharing.
