Now that the days are longer and the sun doesn't set until close to 9:00, we enjoy eating outside every chance we get.  When the sun goes down, we plug in the lights and fire up the tiki torches which makes everything feel a little more like we're on vacation.  A few weeks ago I indulged in some pretty things from Serena & Lilly for the table in hopes of upgrading our outdoor dining experience.

While I prefer white table cloths, it's nice to have a little pattern too.  The table cloth I found is the best of both - mostly white and has the block print border which I love!  It comes in three sizes and the smallest size fits perfectly.  I just love how summery and fresh it looks!  

After a recent instagram story several of you asked about maidenhair fern car.  I water this one every other day because it dries out quickly.  It is usually lives in the kitchen window, but I bring it outside to use as a centerpiece from time to time when the sun isn't to intense.  Do you have any tips"
The knotted trim detail on these chambray napkins is so pretty, and I do love chambray.  They are even better in person.  I picked up the bamboo flatware last summer (deal alert:  it's currently on sale for 24.50 for a 20 piece set).  The raffia place mats can be found here.

It's fun to mix & match napkins in a more casual setting.  The vintage print floral napkins can be found here, love the pop of coral!
