Tablescape Thursday: Lunch on the Deck

We've had some beautiful spring days here at our Little Red House, and the rhododendron is blooming with abandon.  So I thought I would set the table on the deck for a simple al fresco lunch.

The salad plates are pastel-rimmed, with pretty hand-painted flowers.  I bought them at the thrift store a few years ago.  The dinner plates underneath are my hard-working neutrals -- Baroque, by Atelier at Home.

I'm a milk-glass junkie.  They make wonderful serving pieces, like this footed rectangular dish piled high with fruit.

The rhodies are gathered in two milk glass vases, and a small  cup and saucer are ready to serve mayonnaise.  A lovely milk glass basket in the background will hold relish.

The linen napkins are edged with rick-rack.  The silverplated napkin rings are from Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Any outdoor feast should be a feast for the eyes as well, don't you think?  No paper plates here, especially as there are only two of us.  ;)

You've seen my mother's pressed glass goblets before.

Yes, I need to polish some silver soon.  The German silver spoons are my favorites.

So, are you ready to enjoy lunch on the deck?

I want to thank everyone who visited me last week for Tablescape Thursday.  Life intervened, and I was not able to visit all your posts.  I promise to do better this week.  :)

Many thanks, too, to our wonderful hostess, Susan.  Visit Susan's blog, Between Naps on the Porch, for loads of beautiful tablescapes.
