Dining with the Birds

Do you remember when I invited you to my screened porch here ? We’d “gone to the birds” with our wrought iron shelf decor.

Well, the weather here in central Ohio has been absolutely glorious—clear, bright blue skies, a nice breeze, and in the high 70s—perfect for outdoor dining~ BREAKFAST, LUNCH, or DINNER ~in our screened porch, of course!

And it was the perfect opportunity to once again use my PB bird plates (thanks to Yvonne at Stone Gable, who used them on a lovely table of hers). I had to have them, and off my husband and I went to the PB outlet about an hour from home.

You can see the bird touches on the shelves in the background.

The water bottle was a fun purchase last summer at White Magnolia, the loveliest of shops, in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. And the little birdie is a pitcher—I guess like a creamer or a vase?? I’ve only used it as a vase.

My Nicodemus robin that I’ve had for years, and has made appearances on many of my tables, because I love this chubby little guy!

Good morning, Sunshine!

Twig place card holders, from Pottery Barn, I think, seemed just right for the occasion, along with the PB goblets from PB’s early years—a gift from my MIL that I’ve enjoyed over and over and over. I guess they’re “vintage Pottery Barn” now!

The Blue Hour is upon us…lovely time for dinner.

When I saw the twinkles in the goblets I couldn’t resist adding this picture…I hope you like it as much as I do.

How’s this for perfect for our Dining with the Birds centerpiece? A robin’s egg I found in our landscaping this spring. Never fear…I researched what to do with it and learned that by the time I found it it had probably gotten too cold, and besides, there was no nest nearby, so it had been stolen by some mean critter, so I gave it a home for a little while before disposing of it.

Do you like to have every.single.meal outside during warm weather? I find that I’m as bad as the little ones—I don’t want the lovely warm days to end, and I don’t want to go inside!

The table is set…please come join us!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ll leave me a comment to let me know you were here—I read every single one of them! And if you like what you see a lot, maybe you’d like to +1 this post or pin it on Pinterest too! Thank you!
