Roses, Lilacs, and Pansies! Oh My!

I decided it was warm enough to set an outdoor table this week. The weather was beautiful and I thought an intimate breakfast table for two would be perfect. The lilacs are in full bloom, and their fragrance fills the air.


I'll warn you--if you don't like hand painted dishes, you are going to hate this tablescape! I hope you enjoy!

See, I did warn you.

 I decided to add some "behind the scenes" photos.

This is what I found one day at Goodwill.

 It was a sale day, so I only paid half the price shown.

 Here is the bottom of the plate.

The same day, I found this cute chair.

Half price, too. The painted arms were cute, but... 

 ...they didn't go with my dishes, so I repainted them.

I hope you enjoyed my very inexpensive, very colorful, and very floral tablescape!

But, don't go away yet!





My sister and I will be doing another Sister Act! This time we will be using the same animal print placemats. If you didn't catch Sister Act I, you can see mine here:
