Silver and Succulent

.

Doesnt this look great, so chic but unexpected.

I think one of the greatest things about this is how cheapola it would be.

And the fact that most anyone could source the things to do this table setting, so even if not for a wedding for a dinner party, birthday, fathers day (!!) or just because.

So pretty!

The Long Table

The boys and I are off today on a picnic.

Such beautiful weather at the moment, we are going to soak up the sun.

I love long tables, long lunches, good wine, good friends.

These pictures inspire me to actually have dinner parties more, I dont really have them unless its a Holiday or birthday celebration. Otherwise its more a barbie or we go to a resturant so Im going to plan a nice fancy long lunch on a pretty long table for my friends.

Yum.

Pretty Table

 

I love to set the table nicely, I seem to like anything that involves eating in some shape or form .. I blame my Dutch genes for my unhealthy obsession with Food, then I married a foodie and there just no hope.
But, there's something special about a celebration with a table that matches the occasion.
These paper flowers are just the prettiest things I have seen in a long time.
Not that Im thinking about Easter but they would look so lovely set out for a Tea Party, Bridal Shower or even Easter. Heck, I think if you had enough will to make enough of these babies for a wedding they would look breathtaking.

Also note the brown paper roll for the runner base and the stamped napkins. they make me happy.
