When we were on vacation early last year I found the most adorable bee-inspired pieces for my table. The pattern is so sweet and I have been adding to my little collection over this past year.
I actually found the tea bag holder in Carmel and then the honeypot and creamer in
Solvang a few days later. Love when that happens!
I've always loved blue and white tables so this
pattern just stole my heart.
I was certain there had to be a matching teapot somewhere and I was fortunate to find
it on the internet.
I later purchased the matching desert plates
and tea mug to complete my little tablescape.
Sunflowers from the grocery store inspired me to set my table out in the garden this morning with the butterflies and bees buzzing about!
The napkins were purchased several years ago in an antique store. The french provencial pattern is one of my favorites and the table cloth was a thrifty
find in Austin.
I found the bee skep in a local craft mall and love the natural element it adds to the table.
I love stacking different textures and patterns!
This was a fun table to set and when the weather cools off a bit I can't wait to share it with a friend!
Enjoy the summer....school is staring here and fall is just around the corner!

Your table in the garden is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to like about this darling table? Your bee inspired dishes are sheer delight. You know I'm fond of most things bee. '-) I've not seen this, but love the soft colors How nice that you can continue to find pieces to add to your set. Love the bee skep. I keep thinking I'm going to find one, but so far no luck. The blues and yellows and the alfresco setting put this table @ 5 stars!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are having a great summer! ~ Sarah
How wonderful that you were able to find so many pieces. It's truly a darling set. I love the blue and yellow and then the white pieces really set themselves off on this backdrop.. Love love love.. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteYes I do love it when it all comes together and you find the pieces here and there...it sure makes the collecting fun...sometimes it happens that I find the mates on the internet but their soooo expensive I cannot justify the expense...that is when it is not fun and then I just have to look some more.,,,lol..I love all the things you put with your beautiful blue and white, the yellow is perfect...thanks for sharing your beautiful finds...
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty summer table! I love that sweet china! Looks so pretty the way you set the table in your backyard. I don't want summer to end this year...the weather has been sooooo much better than in past years. Last year...I couldn't wait for it to end but not this year!
ReplyDeleteSWOON! Your table is bee-utiful! I love your bee skep and adorable tea pot and dishes! Your tablecloth is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! It is always fun to track down the other pieces when you find something you love.
ReplyDeleteThis is so, so pretty! The bee skep was a great idea. There is a vintage blue glass candy dish floating around out there in antique stores, footed, with a lid, that has little bees pressed into it. I think it was made by Anchor Hocking, not positive. I watched it in an antique shop for a year, finally decided to go back and get it, and then of course it was gone! But it would be great with your set, so something else for you to be on the lookout for. Take care - Dawn
ReplyDeletePerfect dishes for this table! I love the bee dishes on your colorful tablecloth...
