Blue skies and sunny days make for beautiful luncheons outside! I love to photograph outdoors, you can't beat natural daylight for great pictures!
You might remember when I made my ruffled burlap runner....
I recently found these fantastic dessert plates at a roadside flea market that I just couldn't pass up. They are from Villeroy & Boch, manufactured in Luxembourg, pattern: Acapulco. I love the pattern, birds, and of course the color! Don't they just make you happy?
I paired them with an apple green dinner plate (Big Lots, last Summer) and Pier 1 charger plates (Found at Goodwill)
I was having more vinyl number fun...June 1 is my birthday, I decided to throw in a subtle birthday theme!
Blue goblets, that my dear friend Judy gave to me, love them!
michelle! first of all- happy birthday! secondly, i really LOVE your table setting. love the funky plates you used, and the colors are fantastic. i need to make a runner like that- so fun! it really looks incredible.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Michelle! Every birthday should be celebrated for at least a week! :) I love your glass vases with numbers. What a great idea for your birthday decorations. Your plates were a great find. Lucky YOU!
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy birthday, Michelle! What a pretty tablescape! What I *really* like are the sticky birthday numbers on the bottles. Most excellent. I will be doing this from now on! Won't mama think it's fun to see little blossoms poking out of bottles that are sporting, 1921 . . !

Happy Birthday, Michelle! What a beautiful table and I love how those dishes pick up your runner colors. Your pictures look great, too.
