Hello everyone,
With yet another cool windy day here we are confined to the indoors for our lunch today but at least we can enjoy the lushness of the garden from the bay window.
I am still enjoying my lilacs and love to pick bouquets of them to enjoy indoors.
I have been picking up some thrifty china here and there lately so the table has a summery look.
I love the soft aqua green color of the china and did you notice the little pitcher even has polkas dots on it.
My aqua green china was all bought for less then $5.
a pretty little teacup
The first warm sunny day we have here I look forward to having a garden tea but for now I hope you enjoyed lunch in the bay.
I am joining Susan for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch

Aqua is my fave colour, and your table arrangment is wonderful...I am kinda jealous but more admired! :)

My goodness what a gorgeous table! I would have never though of pairing lilacs with seafoam green. It is breathtaking. Each detail on your table is rich and oppulent.
This is one of my favorite tablescapes!

Beautiful!
Hello, dear Carolyn! What a treat to see this post this morning. Your table setting is a thing of beauty and so inspiring. We, like so many, are having a late start to summer, although today is supposed to be sunny and warm. Your lovely luncheon table is a bright and welcoming scene! – g
No matter the weather outside, Carolyn, your tables are always sunny with beautiful dishware! Those bickies look mighty good, too, my friend! Lol
We have been having such a poor spring here - we've not seen the sun in so long - that I keep having to remind myself of the sentiment behind this beautiful quote:
"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasing; if we did not sometimes taste adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome..." Anne Bradstreet
Love that and your site, too!
Wishing you and your friend Heather a beautiful day together,
Linda
Dear Carolyn
Your table looks really pretty. Love the slight touch of Mint. It makes if fresh and gives it a summery feeling. The lilacs finish it of perfectly!!!
Happy day and enjoy the sun!
Lieve groet, Madelief x
Carolyn, this is super lovely! I love your blog and I´d be very honoured if you stop by mine too ;-) Greetings ftom the Czech Republic!
I just love your table! I want to sit right there, by that window with the lovely view and enjoy a cup of tea. It feels decadent and cozy at the same time.
This is so lovely. Your aqua and white dishes are very pretty along with the teacups. You do have a lovely place to sit and enjoy the gardens on the cooler days! Summer is taking forever although today was almost perfect here. Pamela
Is that where we'll have lunch together when I visit, Carolyn? :) I tell you - your house, your gardens, your style, your beautiful island.....you need to publish a book on it all, friend. It is soooo beautiful!!!!! ♥
