TABLESCAPE THURSDAY

FIRST PARTY ON THE PORCH


We had friends over, and had our first dinner party on the porch...

This bunch of sweeties have Trick or Treated together now for ten years... Each year we all meet at my home to eat and then head out for a fun night of spooky fun... The girls all ate in the den... Now we head out to the porch...Please remember the porch is still a work in progress... The porch is almost done... BUT I have only bought one piece of furniture for the porch so far ...All the rest are things I have had for awhile...



I sat up a folding table ....Put out a few things ...I used my Black depression glass dishes PATTERN Mt. Pleasant....




This table is the only thing I have bought for the porch... I bought it at an Antique store here in town... If you have ever been to Charleston SC you know that all most all of the homes here in the city have Wrought Iron some where.... This table is made out of Antique reclaimed wrought iron from Charleston... I just Love it...




This is a close up of the table....You can see the wrought iron work here...
The table is made up of four very heavy pieces of this beautiful wrought iron...


Babycakes and Murray ready for a night of fun...



No more pictures PLEASE...Lets go.

    Julie,
    Congrats on the progress on your porch. Love you new table, it reminds me of one of the old gates in Charleston. Thanks for sharing.

    The porch is just wonderful, and I love the Halloween decorations, especially the cute witch under the gorgeous cloche. All of the children are so cute and look like they are having a great time. Hugs, Marty

    Love the black dishes -- would have never thought of that for Halloween -- great centerpiece -- and do I spot corgis in your post? We, too, are owned by a corgi -- Oliver is his name.

    What a great porch. You'll have a lot of fun decorating it. I LOVE the table. It's an amazing place to start. I also love your black Depression glass. I've passed on them in the past, but no longer!

    The porch is now a perfect spot for a party, and I love the day of the dead theme for the table. It is all very fun.

    Oh wow--I love the coffee table and what a neat piece.-- That is one of the things I love doing in Charleston==just looking at all the wrought iron gates. What a wonderful coffee table to incorporate a little bit of Charleston! ps we were in Charleston last weekend eating at a little restaurant/bakery not far from the Charleston Symphony. We like to go to Mount Pleasant to the Whole Food store there. Wish there was one up by us!
