A luncheon on the back patio.

Please visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch to see lots of beautiful tablescapes!
I was in CVS this morning and I was inspired! There was a display of various polka dot dishes and pots. The colors were just so pretty and I realized they would go wonderfully with a table topper I had recently found (also with polka dots). I added some daisys from the dollar store and a butterfly from Hobby Lobby. You just never know where inspiration will come from. While at Hobby Lobby, I also found these adorable felt flower votive holders for 50% off - complete with lady bug. It is so windy here that there is no way the candles will stay lit.
The white Oneida Basketweave dishes are very versatile. As many of you have mentioned, a nice set of white dishes is invaluable! I have found that I am using them regularly.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I truly appreciate it!

    OOO, Your table looks so fresh and spring like. I love your table topper, it is really unique. The little votives are so sweet and they just pop right out of the white dishes. So cute!

    I love those votive holders from Hobby Lobby! You could even take the candles out and maybe fill the cup with nuts or something!

    I can't stand it! This is so darn cute. I love the dishes too. They are great. But I love the polka dot decor idea! Very cute. Isn't it fun to find things in different stores and then it somehow comes together? I just love it. Your table is beautiful and the whole setting is wonderful looking. Great job.
    Blessings,
    Debbie

    What a delightful tablescape. The birdhouse centerpiece is darling. I just love it. How fun to find all the great polka dot items. They just add such a fun tough to the setting. Your white china is lovely, and I agree, it's probably the most versatile set to have. Love it all. Hugs, Marty

    I love Spring and seeing the wonderful outdoor settings. So cute. I have never seen the felt votive, how clever. And the back drop of your green lawn is perfect.

    Enjoy,
