Une Table Pour Deux, S'il Vous Plait

a table for two, please..........
Bon Jour, and welcome to our petit bistro!
I've never tried my hand at tablescapes, but I thought I would get brave today and give it a whirl!  I am amazed at all of the incredibly talented ladies out there who create such stunning table settings!  So I was always too nervous to create my own.  Well, I thought it might be fun to try my hand at it, so I created a simply set table in my favorite room in our house, the sun room.

As you can see, our little dog wanted to be part of the action as well!  Sorry for all of the glare on the windows.  It was a nice an sunny day today, and this is a sunroom, after all!  I really love our green bistro set of ours.  We enjoy eating breakfast and lunch here, and since our back yard is surrounded by woods, there is always alot of wildlife and birds to entertain us!

I love blue and white, so that was my theme for today.

Our water and wine glasses have the most beautiful etched designs.  I found the wine glasses a few years ago at a garage sale for just $1 for 4! We have since broken two (phooey!), but I would love to find some additional ones that match!  They have a pretty butterfly and floral design.  A friend of mine gave us the water glasses a couple of years ago.  Notice the pretty hummingbird and hibiscus etched design?

A cute little vintage jam pot, and a pretty cobalt blue dish and ladle (I love colbalt blue glass!), sitting on a vintage blue glass plate, along with a vintage napkin with the most beautiful crocheted lace edging.

I love milk glass, and I found this pretty vase at a moving sale this summer.

The pictures just do not do these beautiful vintage napkins justice!  They belonged to a world traveling aunt of mine, and I think she brought these back from a trip to the Philippines.  Don't you just love the pretty white dove napkin rings?

I wanted to show you our place mats.  They are made in England, though we picked them up in Paris a few years ago.  I just love bringing things back from trips that we can use on a daily basis, as a little reminder of far away places!  I think you can find this brand, Portmeirion, quite readily here in the States.

You may have seen my candle lantern chandelier before.  She didn't always look so pretty!  She began life as a circa 1970 beyond ugly Mediterranean style hanging lamp.  She was wrought iron, and had a very ugly gold glass lamp insert.  Needless to say, she was quite dated!  Thank goodness for Heirloom White!  I added an old strand of rosary beads.  (I'm not Catholic, so I hope that's not a faux pax to do so!).

A cute bistro signs completes the look!

And here was my helper!
Thanks so much for stopping by today, and letting me share my very first tablescape with you!  Have a terrific night!
