~White Garden Patio luncheon Table ~

Happy ~ Show And Tell Friday ~ friends. I hope you all had a really great weekend. As for us we had to work but that is fine it was a great weekend anyway. Today I am posting our patio table and chairs. We had bought this set for only 50 bucks at Mora's Antiques here in town. It was painted black and had no seats. I just painted the tables and chairs with a couple of cans of spray paint.
The back splat has roses on them and the edge of the table also has roses going around the edge. And they are cast iron which makes them sturdy. I think I need to put another coat of paint because the sun and the heat has taken a toll on the paint job again.
I also have a small cast iron urn filled with sea shells and Spanish moss sitting in the middle of the table. The seats are covered with some outdoor fabric with the common cabbage rose pattern on them.
We eat out there, every now and then when the weather is nice or the early evening when it is cool. Ray placed our "Poppy Trail" pattern which might be from the 60s or the 70s but they were made here in California. They were a good deal for a 20 peace set for 15 dollars at a thrift store in Riverside. Well I hope you all have a great week and please visit the other participants and Thank You For stopping by................Julian

  3. You know in Canada, the prices on anything that is vintage is astronomical! You might as well buy something new that has been distressed. Great find, great pics and I absolutely love the rose detailing!

  31. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. But imagine
    if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!
    Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this
    blog could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its niche.
    Great blog!

  33. I have the same set, but have a terrible time keeping the dirt out from under the rim of the glass. Any suggestions? Clear silicone? It's time to take out the glass and paint it again, only this time I plan to take it to get powder coated. When I put the glass back in, I'd like to put it in in such a way that it will be easy to keep clean.
