Tablescape Thursday-Summer Picnic

For this week's tablescape I decided to skip spring inspirations and go directly to summer.  So I started with a blue and white checked tablecloth that reminds me of a picnic.

Next I thought wicker is also very summery so I used my wicker chargers.

  Next layer is a fun square bandana print plate that is melamine.

On top of that are white with blue edges enamelware bowls that I bought in Boston at the  April Cornell store when the store was closing. I made my husband haul them home for me.

I couldn't decide on the napkins to go with this setting so I will let you choose from the following three.  (1)  I love these fun bicycle print dishtowels from Mary Lake Thompson

but I also love (2) blue and white striped ticking ones.

In the end I used these (3)  blue with white polka dot paper napkins. 

For the centerpiece I started with a wicker tray, then an old little piece that looks like a small picnic table.  Next I added a topiary for greenery with it's summer leaves, then some small vintage chairs and a few birds.

There is even a straw hat in case the sun is too hot!  Perfect for a summer picnic.  To see more tables and be inspired go to Between Naps on the Porch or click here.

Have a wonderful day and I hope spring, then summer come your way soon!
