Dinner on the Deck

It's been so warm here the past week, we've decided to have dinner on the deck. 

We change from the front porch, the dining room, the deck and random places to have dinner at least once a week.  This leaves my husband and kids guessing where we are going to be eating...lol. 

I love all the light color green everywhere, so I am keeping this tablescape green.



We have a two level deck and hopefully soon we'll turn the upper deck into a screened-in porch.  Until then, I have a white gazebo and have put up mosquito netting and corner curtains.

I love how the sun shines through this sheer curtain.

I decided to use Mr. man on this table since he has a green hue.   Is that a smirk on his face?   I think he's enjoying being outdoors for a change.



I made the arrangement inside the kitchen before I put it on the deck, so I was able to get better close-up photos.

My little kitty, darling Darlin,  is checking out the table.  She always loves to check out my tablescapes.   She never wants her picture taken, but always jumps in when I'm shooting the tables.  What's up with that?


I liked the large peach picking basket I saved from last years harvest, so I used it on this table to add a little volume and a country feel.

This little hanging planter is right beside the table on the deck.  Can't wait to see the flowers growing and full.  The little cherub,  which I found at the flea marketis super heavy so I think he's iron.
 


This gives you an idea of the two level deck with the tent.  Wouldn't the upper deck be pretty screened-in? 

We had a delicious dessert.  I made an upside down cake, but instead of using pineapple, I used chopped almonds and peaches.  It was nice parred with the slightly sweet white wine.


Thanks for visiting my deck tablescape.  I hope you have a fantastic Monday and see you Wednesday.

Birthday Party

Today is my niece's 11th birthday and I am hosting her party here at my house.  My family usually has each of our birthday parties at my mother's house, but she is having her hardwood floors refinished and I volunteered to have her party here. My niece is Mary Catherine and her favorite color is blue.  
This is my niece, the birthday girl.  Isn't she cute?  She rides horses and these are some awards she won.
I decided that since it's been so cold here I wanted to bring in a little spring by using yellow to brighten up the blue.


I chose butterflies and pinwheels as my theme.  For the tablecloth, I bought a piece of fabric that has a bit of a shine and used 3 yards.  Sometimes is to your advantage to just buy fabric to get exactly what you want. It isn't very expensive if you watch you spend.  Yes, I love polka dots.



I love the reflection of the light on the ceiling.  Even our little statue got in on the action.  lol.  I Hope you enjoyed this tablescape and that I brought Spring in a little early.
