It's Tablescape Tuesday, hosted by the extremely talented and gracious Susan at "Between Naps on the Porch"... There are so many talented ladies that post the most beautiful tablescapes... I hope you will visit Susan's blog and visit all the folks posting a tablescape today!
Sunny Sunday afternoons are the perfect time to set a simple table for a light meal outside. Last Sunday it was about 65-degrees and the sunshine warmed the porch up just right. I set out this pretty black and white earthenware from Stafford, which I picked up for nearly nothing at Marshall's after Christmas sale.
Several ladies did tablescapes with black, white and green last week, which inspired me to use green in this tablescape. 
This old metal table and chairs was a freebie from a friend that moved out of state a few years ago. Free, yes free... couldn't pass up a bargain like that! The pretty lace tablecloth is actually not lace at all... it's vinyl for outdoor use! You wouldn't know, even close up! My chair pads are a black and cream Waverly toile from JC Penny, but I bought all 4 on eBay for $35.00!

I accented my black and creamy white with a few pieces of green depression glass purchased from a special friend whose antique business was closing, and a couple of vintage 1960's tumblers purchased at an estate auction for me, by Ricky, a few years ago.Oh, and I can't forget my Eiffel Tower metal candle votive... I am going for a French feel here ya know! And my black and creamy white water pitcher from Hobby Lobby... I normally use it as a vase in my home office!
I used black cloth place mats to show off the plates and black & white napkins (purchased at Dillard's after Christmas closeout for $1!).
I adore this transferware pattern of farm life and the horse pulling the hay cart... a perfect plate for a country house.
Added a little French Cafe' Paris coffee cup, and sat it on a green depression glass saucer. Perfect country table for a perfect sunny Sunday afternoon, down here in French Lique...
