The beautiful sunshine was calling to me this morning…
beckoning me to come outside and work in the yard a bit.
My little vintage garden table went back to the pea gravel patio for now
where it found itself covered in the warm sunshine.
Which inspired a quick spring table setting.
A dainty lavender bloom in beach cottage wicker,
a chippy old birdhouse just freshly out of the cold snow
and a sweet burlap sack for a tablecloth.
The old mirror tray is a recent thrift store find for $2.00
I love how sweet these vintage partridge plates are.
They are just perfect for a little outdoor dining.

The weather is beautiful with sunshine,
blue skies and warmth
and

almost all the piles of snow are melted away!
🙂
Hope the weather is perking up for all of you
and the storm in the East moves quickly on by.
It’s my little baby sisters 24th birthday today!

(Sorry for the terrible quality pic from *a few years ago*)

So beautiful Courtney, your backyard is still gorgeous even after the snow damage! I'm in So Cal and it is hot today! I'll probably have to run the air once my hubby gets home from work!
Thank you for hosting your lovely party, I'm so excited that I'm the first link up! Talk about good timing:)
It is very pretty! And Thank You for hosting today……..Julian
Your outdoor setting looks beautiful and so inviting! The sun finally shone here today too and it was wonderful.

Sweet little outdoor space. I like the way you used the burlap bag across the table. Your vignette is pretty. I recently picked up some burlap bags to use for the table. Haven't decided exactly how I'll use them at this point. Our tables are round so can't just toss it at an angle like you did.
Thanks for hosting each week. I'm not on Face Book so I can't see the posts, but it sounds like a nice idea. ~ Sarah
Love your outdoor vignette. Thanks for hosting a party for us to participate in.
Oh I love this table with your burlap sack as a foundation! Your mirrored tray is wonderful too for your centerpiece~ what an excellent find! Thanks for hosting 🙂
Thanks for hosting Courtney! Love the inspiration here.
What a pretty tablescape, Courtney! I am sooo ready for spring! Happy weekend!…hugs…Debbie
All your snow melted…oh happy day! I can't wait for that to happen here. Your tablesetting looks so nice and inviting!
Have a good weekend 🙂

What a beautiful garden table. Isn't it nice to finally have some sunshine? I think I may be complaining about the heat before too long though.

Loved seeing all your pretty garden items!
Lots of great pics this week! I love your partridge plates- I have some that are similar that I picked up at a thrift, but I was only able to get a few pieces and haven't found a suitable use for them yet. Love the wood headboard Genevieve shared also- I wish I were that crafty!
I’ve been into blogging for quite some time and this is definitely a great post.Cheers!
