~Table Tops & Dragonflies~

Beginning anew, comments on, after time off from regular blogging and Memorial Day weekend.

One table times three…

I’m adding these new back porch vignettes and table settings to Marty’s Table Top Tuesday.

The pair of ducks formerly sat atop a narrow cabinet at our lake place.  They make an ideal summertime addition to the back porch wicker dresser.

Sunday Breakfast

When we moved the wicker dresser to the back porch, I didn’t think there would be room for a table and chairs. 

We used a small wicker end table, for meals in front of the settee, until over the weekend, when I moved an old green metal table from the garage and two of the breakfast room chairs, to the porch.

The table fits very well in front of the fireplace and can be moved easily when more room is needed.

I played with dishes and linens, setting the table for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Lunch

I found the fabric, for the table cloth, stored away in the basement.  I covered the chair seats in this fabric not long before we moved into our home in 2003.  The chairs were also stored away in the basement.  I used silk peonies, to mimic the peonies in the fabric.

Supper

A rooster is usually heard from in the morning.  This time, it’s roosters in the evening. 

The third table is set, with burlap and roosters, for a simple supper on the back porch.  The red chairs were brought out from the breakfast room.  There are 8 ladder back chairs, around the 9 foot pine farmhouse table, in four colors…red, green, gold, and orange.

 

I found the dragonfly lights, last month, at Home Goods, St Peters MO.
