When I was at my home in Washington State I thought it would be fun to do a tablescape outdoors. The weather was lovely and I raced against the setting sun to set this table in my front yard. The neighbors are probably wondering about me…
This is a vintage tablecloth that my MIL had in her stash. The hobnob little clear & milky plates are from Dear’s Great, great aunt Emma. The old silver flatware is from Dear’s parents too.
We bought these beautiful daffodils at Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle. I loved the fullness of them and the added orange.
Oh and looky here Jack Sparrow and Sparra Queen Warbeak made it into an actual tablescape!
For more Tablescape Thursday please visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch!
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

A pretty table — it’s always nice to eat outside — and it was nice to see the “birds”!
Love the bright colors and your great dishes!
wow… what a lovely tablescape! I adore the tablecloth, those birds are too cute… and the beautiful flowers just top it all off! Lovely cake plate too! Awesome job! Thanks for sharing… Please check out the give away on my blog this week! Katy *Plucky
Simply WOW! A most inviting table. The colors are as delicious as any food that could be served. Great job!
Oh, I love those 40’s tablecloths! So bright and pretty! I am hoping to go to an antique fair in the country this summer and get some of those, providing they are not too expensive. You carried the theme through beautifully with your selection of dishes. The flowers are perfect for this tablescape. Not only is this perfect outdoors, but it’s also not a table you see every day which makes it even more special. Beautiful job!!!!!!!
I love this tablescape! The flowers are gorgeous! And that vintage tablecloth is so festive! The hobnail plates add the perfect touch! I am glad that the birdies made it back for the tablescpae! lol I hope you are having a great week!…Debbie
Oh I love the pink camilla in the little birdie dish. That tablecloth is absolutely stunning. And by the way – my neighbors think I am wierd, too! Gathering flowers at midnight….snipping herbs in my nightgown. LOL Thanks for sharing this with us, Barb
Wow!! That is gorgeous. Love the way the flowers match that wonderful vintage tablecloth. I envy you so much having Pike’s Place close by. We went in December when our son got married on Bainbridge Island in 2005. Of course, I’m sure the flowers are prettier this time of year.
Absolutely fabulous table…love it all…but my favorite is the beautiful vintage tablecloth…amazing!!!
;-D
How beautiful!
Very pretty! Love the beautiful flowers, tablecloth and dishes. Very happy and colorful!…Christine
ooooohhhhh! I love your vintage – bet the neighbors were just hoping you would invite them to your pretty table!
This is just exactly the kind of informal setting I adore. Just beautiful and I would arm wrestle you for that adorable tablecloth. lol

Okay, I want that tablecloth! It is one of the most beautiful vintage ones I have ever seen. The gorgeous pattern is just the perfect backdrop for your tablescape. I just want to sit down and eat! Very nice. Amy 🙂
That tablecloth is fabulous. I love the little birdie on the cake plate. Very inviting. Your neighbors were probably wondering if they could get an invite!

I love the vintage table cloth. I have collected a few of them and I like to use mine outside, too. Very pretty table.
Beautiful and bright table! Yes those nice days here in WA. have been really nice but a bit of a tease when they go away, huh?!
I think I see Target birdies again too.

Wow, those birds sure get around — a full and interesting life!
Lovely table. I especially like the vintage cloth — so evocative of times past; I remember cloths like that from my youth! (A hundred or so years ago!)
Thanks for sharing… Cass
I love the cloth and the way it just makes that table. The colors you chose are just so cheerful, it’s a happy table.
Ellen, your dedication to your blog is definitely commendable. I love reading about how you have set your table in the yard! 🙂 I love that cheerful looking tablecloth, and the daffodils are beautiful too.
