The weather has been so beautiful, it's the perfect time for a garden table scape and what could be more appropriate then ladybugs...
The glassware is hand painted by Lenox, you will remember from this post HERE they were from the Goodwill...what a deal...I love a good treasure hunt, I think cause you just never know when you will find something that will just make your heart sing...la la la la I always knew I would be doing a ladybug tablescape...
The dishes are so cool, all of the ladybugs are three dimensional and really pop out from the surface.you can see even on the plates, the greenery is 3-D I thought I would add a couple of ants, you can't have a garden setting without a couple of ants...
The cute little bird cage napkin rings are from Pottery Barn probably 4 years ago, you all know I do love napkin rings that are a little unusual and you all know how much I love Pottery Barn...Although I have not purchased any in quite some time, I have a great collection of some so unusual...
Each birdcage is a little different, I hope I got a shot of each of them, one even has a bird swing inside...
The swing is in the bird cage above, too hard to see but it is cute...
Try not to notice the one place setting with only one fork...I purchased this set last year and this wasthe first time it has been used...there was one dinner fork missing...The twig flatware is from West Elm, (they are owned by William Sonoma) I phoned them and let them know the dilemma...the service person, Susan, said she would send a full place setting right out and I could just keep the additional pieces...sooooooooooooooooo nice....now that's customer service....I think all people named Susan are just really nice... Anyway the flatware is one of my favorite sets and I love the way the knives lay so the blade stands up on the table....perfect for a garden setting and the ladybug tablescape...
This is the door from the living room, that goes out to the deck, under the gazebo where this table scape takes place...
These little ants are from Michaels, they had little clips on each one to anchor the tablecloth, I just pulled them out, I think they look cuter just hangin around....
The white napkins have a beautiful soft embroidery edge and are from Home Goods...The red checked napkins do have a tablecloth as well are from TF Maxx purchased last year...or maybe even the year before...
This is a better look at the fireplace area you will probably remember from the backyard garden tour HERE you can see how it all coordinates with the red checks on the pillows and artwork...wouldn't it be nice if it always worked out that way...
The Adirondack chairs in the background is where Mr. S and I love to sit in the early evening....
I am so happy the geraniums are still in bloom...they are such happy flowers...
This would make a wonderful breakfast set up as well, wouldn't love to wake up to the sounds of the birds chirping and the fountains running and a stack of pancakes waiting for you...me too...
Thank you so much for stoping in and letting me know what you think....Phyllis
