picnic on the deck

i always love the change of season and the warm feeling you get when spring arrives. 
today i'm taking the inside out for a picnic on the deck.
liking all the white outside, the combination of found and collected things, the fabrics of this pale blue and white striped turkish towel and cath kidston vintage style nautical cushion i made a while ago, with wicker and white lighting up a deck neglected over winter and creating a sunny place to relax.













have a great week
:)

    Oh, I really loved the mix of shells. How are they stuck together? Holes and tread?

    And I like your header :)Nice mix of colors

    Oh wow. Perfection. Adore that cushion. Enjoy your picnic! It's going to be 24 degrees in Sydney today (and I'll be at work)... Plenty more days on the way for us though with Spring here on our doorstep. Pruxxx

    Lovely... I can almost smell the Ocean... and I now feel as though I had a refreshing day at the Beach to beat these 110+ degree temps we've been enduring for over a month! *Winks*

    Your deck looks very inviting, indeed - it definitely calls for some relaxation time.

    It's getting to be deck weather around here, too, but it's the end of summer. Summers in Texas are usually too hot to spend time out on the deck, so when summer winds down, and the temperatures drop into the 80's during the day, it's the perfect time to sit outside on the deck or patio, so I'll be enjoying some patio time, too.

    I'd love to join your picnic ... just wanted to make sure you're serving more than sea shells, though ...

    :)

    And that vintage nautical fabric is fabulous!
