I love eating al fresco. It usually up in my mind a little bistro in Europe with amazing food, wonderful vistas and great ambiance.
So here’s a nod to all those fantastic memories of those memorable meals right in the corner of our own patio.
It immediately elevates whatever one is eating, drinking, talking about, etc. to another level.
I set an intimate table that looks worthy of a celebration but it’s for any, ordinary day.
Instantly it becomes an extraordinary day & dining experience
Why not !?!
We own all the plates and glasses and silverware and all that stuff; why not use them in a fun and unexpected way?
It makes life so much more fun and interesting and worth living!
Bon appetite!
Here’s a post that shows you that little spot of the patio.

Beautiful table, relaxing sitting for your table. Love your centerpiece with the hydrangeas. Such attention to detail.
Oh MaryJo…That table is red carpet of tablescaping dear lady. Love it!
We too often rush through our meals and that’s a shame. Each meal should be taken leisurely and of course in good company. You’ve set a beautiful table and the ambiance is fantastic! Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story and we hope you will join us again next week.
Thank you so much judy. These hydrangeas are from my garden and I just love them. xo- maryjo
