Vintage Sixties Wrought Iron Patio Tables

I found a pair of vintage wrought iron patio tables from the 60's at Cottonwood Market in Richardson,   Texas.  

 It's an interesting collection of booths people sell their wares. 

  I was looking for a new table because the black table that went with the set was rusting at the bottom of the legs.  The metal was falling apart so it was making it lopsided.  

When I saw the two tables I fell in like!I decided to push the two end tables together to make one large table for entertaining.  Neighbors like to come over to enjoy our vegetable garden.  I picked up the painting of Poppies at a garage sale for ten dollars.  If it weathers its okay because I didn't pay very much.  I love the splash of turquoise with pillows and pots.  

The Eifel Tower in the middle adds a French Flair.  I'm sure the tables have a fun past in a families patio in the 60's.  Children were splashing in the pool.

The birds are a little happier with a touch of yellow from the two tables.  I picked up the ladder back French Chairs at another garage sale for ten dollars.  

The more chairs for people to sit the larger the crowd.  

Cardinals flap their wings with delight.  Gardens are for serenity and peace.

 What is the next treasure you will find says the female Cardinal?

The blue patio rug I found at Lowes down the street.  

My favorite treasure is the Vintage Wrought Iron Patio Tables from the Sixties.

Valentine's Day Table Decorations

Celebrating for Valentine's Day is a time to love one another.  

Garlic shrimp with carrots, onions, peppers, parsley and dill looks better from a background of hearts!

A fabric table cloth of hearts is a perfect backdrop to Valentines china filled with love from my mom.

 Peace on Valentines!

Heart napkins purchased at Home Goods is gathered with a pink rose.

Pink roses fill the crystal glass bowl my mother gave me.  

Valentines Day reminds me of our wonderful trip to south of France with fields of flowers.

I brought back an oil painting of the French countryside to remind me.

Roses made of felt decorate the inlaid wood table.
