Our porch is not as large as Susan's but I wanted to have a little place to escape to read, enjoy tea or lunch or just watch the birds as they come and go from the feeder.
My original thought was to find some pretty white wicker furniture. But when I found this set recently at Home Depot, I knew it would be perfect for our little nook.
A little note about these luncheon napkins. My step-mother gave these to me, along with a matching tablecloth. The tablecloth was used til it became thread bare and badly stained, but I never used the napkins. They were a wedding gift, so they are probably considered vintage by now ;-)
I've been picking up these Boopie glasses at Goodwill for $1.00
Thanks so much for stopping by. You can find me out here with my book and cup of green tea.

Hi, Wonderful setting-you are so lucky to have a porch that is big enough for chairs & a table. Our front porch is not that big and we don't have a back covered area. BTW, I love Susan's blog too-oh it is so delightful(but so is yours). I love the vintage napkins and they actually look antique.
Thanks for the inspiration, and I'd love to join you for tea.
Hugs, Noreen
Love it. I wish I had a porch--and hope to have one someday!
Vintage napkins? I'm vintage, so I know it will take 50 years for something to truly qualify as vintage--so your lovely napkins have a ways to go before they can say they are vintage--and I hope they get a lot of wonderful use in the meantime!
What is the official title for things less than 50?--Used, maybe!
I love your new set of porch furniture! I'm envious~ it is NOT porch weather here and probably won't be until the end of October :) Your napkins are so feminine and beautiful!
Oh, I'd be out there too. We live on our porch year round because some years ago we traded the screen walls for permanent doors and windows. This way we can air condition it as needed or open it when the weather allows. ;-)
Your back porch is beautiful. I love the new furniture.
What a lovely porch and I love the furniture! That table is really cute with the settings. Enjoy!!
Have a wonderful night!

How wonderful that you found room on your porch for new furniture -- and that the weather was cool enough to be outside. I was lucky this week, too -- and did an outdoor tablescape on the FRONT porch. Your napkins are lovely, and I for one am always happy to see vintage beauties used -- even if it means they eventually become threadbare like the tablecloth. As for stains, check out the linen cleaner on my sidebar. It works!
Darling porch! And the new pieces are perfect for it. Love them. Your napkins are sooo pretty. Vintage is good. It's all so inviting.. xo marlis
Your porch is so cozy! I love the glassware! I'm so the lookout for some dessert dishes, either boopie or candlewick, I'm not picky!!
Your porch is wonderful and I especially love the table. I was so glad you mentioned the napkins, b/c I was going to have to ask about them. They are just sot sweet and you need to use them! Dianne
Such a lovely porch! And everyone knows I am a sucker for boogie glasses :-)
The wicker really added a nice touch to your porch.
Wonderful! I really like the wicker, candlewick glass and vintage napkins! A lovely place! From VTT!

First of all I love your porch furniture. It's so calming and comfortable looking. The sweet table setting is perfect for the porch. I love Boopie glasses and have a good collection of them!
Lovely setting! VTT :)

Love your porch decor, so charming. I adore your luncheon napkins, so lovely and what fun those Boopie glasses are! Are they really called that? So cute :)
Happy VTT!
Love your new set. Although it's new, it has the look of vintage. You have made yourself a cozy little spot to hang out. That's how I am with my pergola. Love sitting under it and taking in the garden. Visiting from VTT. Would love you to link up to my party, Share Your Cup Thursday.

Your back porch is delightful with your new furniture. I'm a big fan of vintage linens, and your napkins immediately caught my eye. They're gorgeous! Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
Lovely tablescape on your porch! I can see why you would be out there as much as possible!
You have a very pretty porch and your new furniture looks relaxing and comfortable! Lovely tablescape, and the napkins were the first thing that caught my eye! No wonder you used the matching tablecloth so much!
Your back porch looks lovely and inviting! And you setting and the food look wonderful!
What a lovely space to sit and relax! I love your dishes and your beautiful napkins. We have a courtyard out front but I would swap it for a back porch any day of the week!

Quintessential comfort and charm! I like the color, too! It's cool that you were able to use & enjoy the tablecloth your stepmother gave you. Now you can enjoy the napkins in whatever way you see fit. That's really wonderful!
What a lovely spot to sit and have a cool drink.
Your boopie glasses are lovely, as are the napkins!
Thanks for linking to Let's Dish!
I love what you did with your space. I know what you mean about coveting Susan's porch, but you did a great job with what you have! Sandi
Just charming and I love the soft gray you used.
