The sunflowers set the mood.
There seemed to be no choice but to use yellow and green.
A wrap of twine for the flatware seems to add to the outside, simple, natural feel.
A special treat for my mom
Surrounded by iris and roses...
with butterflies for company, anything eaten outside always tastes better.

Love the sunflowers and the green/yellow combo of your dishes on the dark surface of your table. The surroundings are gorgeous too. Welcome to TT! Your pics are awsome and I agree, everything tastes better when eaten outside!

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I really appreciate it. I love sunflowers. It reminds me of my trip to Tuscany. There were fields of sunflowers as far as the eye can see. Unforgettable! I'm a new follower. Thanks for sharing.

I love the way you've let the sunflowers be the stars. The rest of the table is simple and elegant -- great placemats (or chargers?)!
Love the napkins and "I love you mom" spoon - how fun!
I agree, eating outdoors is always nice. Well, as long as there are no bugs and the wind doesn't kick up to much :)
Your table is darling. Love the pretty sunflowers. Cute spoon!
Hugs,
Joanne
I think you are doing a super job! I can't believe you're new to both. Your tablescape is wonderful as is your photography, and I adore those sunflowers.
Happy Tablescape Thursday and Welcome! :-)
XO,
