Hobnail glass, a quilt, and finally green grass.
What do these have to do with each other?
The last near tablescape of summer.
The tablecloth is my best church sale find ever.
Most days we use it as a throw in our den but I have just laundered it.

We are thankful for daily rains that have revived our flowers and grass.
I have decided that when I do tablescapes (every other full moon on a Wednesday) I need a basket to carry plates and such to the patio table.
This inspired the last near scape of summer.
My phone is creeping out behind the basket....Yikes.

Love the quilt/table cloth - very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful; even more delightful is the embroidered piece
ReplyDeletein the basket.
Every other full moon on a Wednesday sounds like a wonderful time to do tablescapes. I keep intending to do them....
I can't post a comment here using my Blogger Account; those blogs are linked at my Wordpress site, I think.
I went to the Pottery Barn Outlet yesterday and spent way too long in there. I ended up buying a pillow cover, came home and found out it was $5.00 cheaper through their website. I thought I was getting such a good deal! Love your quilt. Someone's little old Grandma probably spent months making that.
ReplyDeleteOn no Pam. Outlets are tricky. My hobnail glasses came from the store and were no bargain. They are my ONE PB purchase at the store for the year.
DeleteYou know I love that quilt! That is a simple and beautiful table setting for end of summer. Please let it rain here!

That looks like a nice heavy duty basket, great find! Glad things are greening up again:@)
ReplyDeleteHello Olive... and thanks for stopping by today as I somewhat hesitantly began posting once more... your tablescape is beautiful... and your quilt is a treasure... hard to believe how very fast the summer has gone and fall is just around the corner... my favorite time of year though!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful basket you found. And I'm hoping some of your rain makes its way a little further north. Right now our grass is very crunchy!

I love it and you always find the best things. Wish we could hang out and shop together. You could share your secrets.
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is charming! Love all the vintage-y treasure you included. Like Elaine, I want to shop with you too!
ReplyDeleteAs for end of Summer, that must be wishful thinking. ;)
Love that quilt! Now that was a great find, Olive. Your alfresco setting is lovely. Perfect for a summer meal.
ReplyDeleteThe whole table looks pretty to me, Olive. "Near" my eye, I'd call it "full-fledged"!
ReplyDeleteLovely! That quilt really was a great find...love the wonderful colors! The basket of goodies is charming!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty view you have in your yard! The basket is perfect with all the goodies. Those hobnail glasses are wonderful. I can't believe that they're plastic!! I'm in love with your quilt,too.
ReplyDeleteOlive~ LOVE your quilt and wonderful basket! I look forward to your near tablescapes :) I have the same acrylic glasses from Pottery Barn! I had a set of four glass ones that I dearly loved and broke one~ those acrylic look like glass! Love your sweet towel too!

ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is wonderful. That quilt makes a great tablecloth. I think you should set more near tablescapes out there. I would sure enjoy sitting there.
ReplyDeleteA great summer afternoon tablescape, especially the quilt. I added one to our leather sofa for the summer ~ it's cozy and comfy.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Love the quilt and my daughter almost bought those glasses when we were there.
ReplyDeleteThat looks SO inviting! Lovely. And thanks for the info about the egg baskets. lol I guess it was an egg washing machine that he invented, my husband told me.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect way to spend a beautiful Summer day Olive. What a gorgeous setting to enjoy yourself!
