Brunch Under the "Can Can" Umbrella

H and I are having brunch in the back yard this morning

I love these old wrought iron chairs....H and I bought them in Mexico when we were first married.   So, that would make them over 40 years old!

We are eating on the Paris themed dishes...

For the table, I used a wicker coffee table and covered it with a vintage table cloth...
I brought out my pink umbrella and covered it with a tulle "can can"

The last time you saw this Can Can it was under the Ballet Christmas tree!

Today is just beautiful...lots of sunshine...a wonderful day to be in the yard.  After brunch, H is going to start painting the studio brick...Yea!!!!  

Til next time...

    Very fancy . . . . You'll have to invite someone special to sit under that charming umbrella with you :)
    Have a lovely weekend,

    Penny,

    Such a pretty setting!! I would die for just one chair like those!! At first I thought they were pink but realized it is the reflection off the can=can umbrella. I would love to have an umbrella but the wind is wicked some times when it blows through our back yards because of the rows of houses forming a sort of wind tunnel. No matter what I weighted them down with, they still blew over so I gave several umbrellas away.....

    So pretty!!

    Hugs,
    Deb

    You've had some fun getting this brunch table ready! Love the chairs and the fact that you've enjoyed using them for so many years. I'm surprised your husband is good with sitting amongst all that finery ;) So much pink that even your white bricks reflect pink in the last shot! Thanks for sharing such a pretty setting. Wendy
