  13. A Toile Tale says

    Susan —
    Thank you so much for the beautiful surprise of posting one of my tablescapes in you outdoor feature. That particular tablescape is one of the very first that I posted and one of my favorites. I was actually thinking about it as I set the table the other night for the post that I did today. It is outdoor on the same deck, but very different in feel. Your blog party was always my inspiration to begin blogging. I wanted to come to the party!!! Thank you for the opportunity.

    Thanks for the inspiration! I've made a resolution to dine on the porch more often this Summer, and this is just the boost I needed! Impossible to choose a favorite…

  16. FABBY'S LIVING says

    Each table is so inspirational and beautiful, with stunning elements, each one, that invites one to want to eat al fresco. I love them all, specially my friend's Christine, which is just gorgeous!
    Many thanks, Susan.

    Gros bisous à vous.
