Lilac Inspired Luncheon

As Mr. Flea left for work this morning...he gave me a kiss and asked what I had planned for the day...
...Oh, I was full of plans...they involved clearing the dining room table of all my stuff so we could actually sit down and have dinner....



After he drove off, I took Big Blue, as usual filled to the brim with steaming hot coffee and walked out back to see the lilacs which are now in full bloom.



I breathed deep...taking in their heady fragrance...



I gazed up at the clear beautiful blue sky with complete gratitude...
...and that's when it hit me...



I was lilac-ly inspired....
Back inside, I hunted down Nana's old white pitcher...



...the next thing you know I was setting the table...



...wouldn't Talulah Rose and Mildred Grace love to have luncheon out here by the lilac stand?



...an old fabric remnant...some lace hankies...some pretty glasses from Anthropologie...
...I even penned a few place cards for the girls as these delicate glasses are also place card holders...



...some mismatched tarnished silver and milk glass...



Oh...this was fun!



Where did the morning go?
I was all set to dress the girls for their afternoon affair when Mr. Flea arrived home for lunch.
Caught in the act!
He doesn't usually come home during the day...
Do you think he was checking up on me?

I'm really liking being home.
