A Simple Alfresco Lunch

Our bounty from the Mediterranean stand at the farmers' market provided us with the perfect alfresco lunch and inspired setting an Italian table after a morning of gardening this past Saturday.

The table is set with all vintage things: old linen French sheet for tablecloth, embroidered apricot table runner from Chris's French grandmother's handmade collection, ceramics we picked up in Deruta, Italy a few years ago, my grandmother's old ironstone, silver from a French flea market, a very old pressed glass vase my mother gave me, 1970's Fitz & Floyd luncheon dishes and old square hotel silver dishes.

the combination of rabbit's ears lavender and

geranium leaves from our garden in a vintage French glass

makes a wonderfully fragrant tabletop arrangement

please join us!

just outside our back door, under the arbor in the shade

a well-earned reward for a morning's hard work!
