The cherry blossom tree is spectacular! She dressed it with an old chandelier and paper lanterns.
Have a seat
Can you hear the birds singing? They were.
The table is nestled amid freshly blooming lilacs, roses and fragrant rosemary
The table is dressed in thrifted linens and vintage tea cups
Her potting bench in the background
A beautiful afternoon
So pretty! I adore her potting bench... don't tell my hubs though since he built mine. I wish I had a vintage chandy just laying around waiting to be hung in a tree!

That's so sweet. What do I love the most - the paper lanterns hanging in the tree, the sweet vintage tablecloth, the tea cups. It's so hard to decide because I love it all.
