Hello everyone,
Our snow storm ended and today was a sunny day once again-just is case you wanted to know! Is it just an Island trait or does everyone like to talk about the weather?
Anyway, I decided to go with a little country French style for our lunch today.So, for a change I set up our table in our little porch.
Although, I mainly collect red and white transferware dishes but I do have a pretty good collection of blue and white ones too.
I got the toile fabric at a thrift shop recently so I used it for our tablecloth. The shutters were a bi-fold door that we cut down and painted-I really like how they look in here with the lace panel.
I am using a mix of different patterns again-mainly because I collect dishes one or two at a time usually and here or there.
The garden statue in the corner came in from the garden for the winter along with the garden bench. The French style chair came from a junk store and it was recovered last year.
I love this French toile soy candle.
The mirror on the wall came from a local garden centre.
The soup tureen came from an auction sale.
Well, that is my little touch of a French country style tablescape- I hope you enjoyed it.
Hope you also have time to visit the other lovely tablescapes at Between Naps on the Porch.
Thank you for visiting ,
Carolyn

It is so lovely...of course my favorite color is blue so how could I not love it....I also ADORE those little sheep on the side table below the mirror.
Thank you for sharing

We all talk about the weather here also. :D I am in the MidSouth - If you don't like the weather just wait it will go to another extreme soon.
Your table setting is so pretty. Really like the birdcage.
Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Carolyn, your table, your room, the ambiance you created is absolutely stunning. great idea putting the shutters up. Loved dropping in!
I loved all the blue. My father loves blue, too!!! That's his favorite color. So it's always nice to see beautiful ideas in this color...something that would make him happy and me,too :) :) Thanks for sharing :) :) I really liked that soup tureen. It's a very unique shape :) Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
What a beautiful room setting - and your collection of Blue and White is to die for. Thanks for sharing.
Blue and white, French toile, transfer ware, garden accessories ~ this post has lots of my favorite things. Beautiful as always, Carolyn. ~ Sarah
The old door and chairs and all really make it so French country. The blue and white china are wonderful.
Hello Carolyn, thanks for visiting.
I love the serenity of blue. Your table setting is so stylish, I was wondering could I be your "Alice in Wonderland" just one time??? ;)

This is a beautiful table. I love the way it has an elegant yet garden feel to it.
So pleasing to the eyes, Carolyn. i just love the blue. The snow pictures are delightful too! Here, (yes we talk about the weather here too) it seems like spring is arriving. The daffodils are pushing up through the ground.
Amazing table! I could just sit there all day and have tea and lunch...The blue and white is absolutely gorgeous!
Hi Carolyn,
Your room is really beautiful. The blue and white is just beautiful and I love your toile tablecloth.
Hi! I'm visiting you from TT at BNOTP.....this table is amazing!
I LOVE blue and white transferware and the toile fabric makes my heart go pitty-pat!
Such a beautiful room too; I love the matching toile pillows and the pretty bench and chair.
It's such a lovely table with many gorgeous pieces of transferware. Thanks for sharing !

Tudo muito lindo no seu blog, Carolyn. Já estou seguindo o seu blog. Siga o meu.
This is such a beautiful post. My first love is blue transferware so this post set my heart aflutter. I love the idea of the shutters on the window!!! I think I will have to steal this idea for some small windows in my home to make them stand out more. Everything is lovely. I especially love the mirror. It is very unique. Thank you for sharing this lovely setting with us. ~~Sherry~~
Always, always beautiful and inviting, Carolyn.
And, I love the birdcage.
Oh my goodness I am in love with this room!!
Did you paint the cabinet and shutters yourself!? The cabinet is the exact color and finish that I have in my head for a piece I have in my home.
I love how the tablecloth fabric matches your dishes. That was a gorgeous tablescape. I always love the blue and whites.
Carolyn, the room is beautiful and the tablesetting is perfection.
Enjoy hearing about your weather since we are so far apart. I am in southern USA and yesterday we reached the 70 degree mark. It was wonderful and inspired me to trim shurbs.
I also enjoy your music, especially the Irish Blessing.
I love blue and white so much...
Loved your pictures, first time visitor, came through one of your friend's blogs. And so serendipitous as you are in P.E.I., and we are in the midst of planning our first trip there. Will be back for another visit soon.
You have such lovely things~
Oh ist das wunderschöön!Sehr geschmackvoll..gefällt mir.Das Geschirr hae ich auch in Blau.Bussi.Luciene.
Hi Carolyn! Your table is so beautiful! But so are all the details in the rest of your room! I love country French!
I just love all of your posts and cannot get enough. Your photos are amazing!!! What kind of camera do you shoot with? I use a Canon 50D and 40D and I do not feel like mine are as great as yours! I love all of your china and that mirror - I want it!!! LOL!
all of your rooms are so inspiring...
Beautiful, Carolyn! Love the little sheep too. Enjoy this lovely day we're having.
Blessings,
Sandi
Lovely as usual, dear Carolyn! I saw a picture in a magazine the other day that immediately made me thought of you and your lovely home... it was a corner with a similar angel statue and arrangements... your whole house is like a picture taken out of a magazine.... is always a pleasure coming here.

What beautiful dishes! And your tablecloth is gorgeous!!
I could not leave without telling you how much I enjoyed your post. Your table is beyond lovely....such delicate shades of blue in a room fit for a princess. Your touches of the shutters, the fabric patterns, the mirror and the French chair all add a cozy, yet elegant, look and appeal......very inviting. You may want to consider leaving the garden bench and statue in the room this spring and summer. They add a unique touch, also.
Carolyn,
Exquisite, my dear. Each and every detail in this room held my heart and my soul!The blue and white with your mirror and iron works gave such a welcoming, warm visit today. Thank you for this lovely post!
Fondly,
Pat
Your table is the perfect finish for a lovely room....so many pretties to look at.
Absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
You have such a great way of putting things together. I love the table setting..I would like to collect some blue transferware but haven't decided on a pattern. I also love the set up with the mirrors on the wall...it kind of feels like it's a spot to wash up at! I have a mirror that resembles one of the smaller cathedral styled ones that I need to find a spot for. Your creative mingling of items is always so intriguing to stare at! My fairy girl is out in the cold covered in snow!
Wonderful table setting! LOVE this FRENCH COUNTRY look!
