Tablescape Thursday - Lunch on the Back Porch

With the warm weather weekend we had, I decided that my tablescape for this week would be located out on the back porch.

My porch is rather small, so it can be a little cozy back there. I have a little table and a couple of chairs that my grandmother gave me about 6 or 7 years ago, as well as the canopied swing my son-in-law and daughter put up while they were visiting last month. I found a throw pillow at Target with a dragonfly motif and thought the swing was the perfect place for it!

When I found the pillow, I also came across these little dragonfly candles. I think they're so cute (and I love the color!)

I picked up the pitcher at an antique store in upstate New York several years ago... one of my treasures I rarely take out anymore!

The luncheon plates are part of a set that my great-grandfather gave to my great-grandmother some time after they were married. By my calculation, the set should be at least 75 - 80 years old. My grandmother currently has the rest of the set and has told me that I'm to inherit the set. I think of my great-grandmother and my grandmother every time I use the little luncheon plates. I love that.

The pressed glass bowl was given to me many, many years ago. It's another lovely piece that I rarely use anymore, though I really should!

The glasses are from Williams-Sonoma. The white napkins that the plates are resting on were purchased from an antique store many years ago. I've had the tablecloth for about 25 years - I have no idea where I got that!

Thank you once again to Susan of Between Naps on the Porch for sponsoring Tablescape Thursday. Don't forget to check out the rest of the participants listed on her site!
