Vintage Tablescape Inspiration


 Look at this gorgeous outdoor table 
in the current issue of Victoria Magazine. . . 
Isn't it beautiful? 
{you can click pics to view larger}



What a beautiful setting

Don't you just love all that shabby, pink, rose loveliness?






It has inspired me to to set up a similar look with a spring table . . . in our yard,
with items from my shop . . . pretty vintage linens, an old bird cage, 
a silver candelabra, some vintage dishes . . .  fresh flowers . . . . . an old picnic basket, 
some French books . . . . . and how about some of these?


and maybe some of this . . .  


When the sun is out and the lawn can be mowed, I look forward to
sharing an outdoor spring tablescape setting with you.


Hope you have a great week!
Thank you for all of your kind and wonderful comments.
 I look forward to visiting you.

~ Julie

    Julie, such wonderful inspiration! Do you know I actually bought the neatest old chippy farmhouse table last summer for the very purpose of mixing in my mismatched chairs for an outdoor dinner party? I have a huge gazebo and am planning on having it there. Such wonderful photos! Thanks so much for sharing, and I saw your pics via Wow Us Wednesday, have a wonderful week, and can't wait to see what you do with yours, xoxo tami

    I just loved the combination of chairs, especially that huge, would you call it a wing back? How pretty. I feel like I am being tortured with spring! Maybe soon!

    I love everything about that gorgeous table setting - especially the location! I have the perfect setting and the pretties for the table, to create that kind of beauty myself. I just need for my grass to hurry and turn green. ;)

    Thanks for joining the party.

    Blessings,

    Hi Julie!
    I can't wait to see what you set up! I love those chairs and also the green flower pillow from the magazine photo - so much inspiration!
    Thanks for the visit and your kind words. Did you happen to notice the muslin ribbon (from your shop) that I used for the Paris sachet? I'll be visiting again soon to see what else you have.
    Hugs,

    Oh Julie...a girl after my own heart! I almost fainted when I saw this in Victoria. I love to set outdoor tables in the garden, mainly because I have no matching china and I can get away with it.hehe! The kids love to eat 'out' when they visit and it gives me a chance to use this huge garden more. I definitely will be doing a lot of it this Summer after seeing these pictures.

    OMG I have fallen in love all over again. Back in the UK I had this gorgeous style in my old house. However here in New Zealand the national identity seems to be more sterile and modern. I guess thats why I tend to focus my tablescapes on colour rather than style. You have however, made me realise that I should stay true to my first love and add lots of different elements to create the look that you have managed so incredibly!

    I am definatewly becoming a follower!!

    I love the photos! Does it get any more idyllic than that? I've been thinking about having a dinner party out by my creek this summer, and you just gave me fresh ideas. Take care!

    You're right, that's a lovely table setting! And Holy Cow, look at all your buttons! I'm green with envy. I'm going to work on that list of Simple Pleasurs, thanks for the inspiration.
    I'm glad you found me - now I found you!
