DINING ALFRESCO

Picnic in vintage Bronco-Bargain Decorating with Laurie

I'm ready for some outdoor dining. I'm sharing some of our outdoor dining from previous years. Last year, we had a Fall picnic by a lake.

We had a colorful al fresco dinner. The title of this post was "Honey, I blew up the crayons!"
 
Are you ready for some alfresco dining? I hope I inspired you to bring your dinner outdoors.
Thank you for joining me outdoors today.

Thanks for sharing your outdoor ideas. I just got a small table to start doing some alfresco dining. Now you have inspired me to start my idea with the small table.

Oh, all your fabulous tablescapes have made me want to get outdoors and dine...after I set a table of course! So many terrific ideas here. My fave is the first pic of the fall picnic on the back of your truck - unique and very picturesque.

You've always done the prettiest tablescapes. I'd love to sit out by the pool and have a shish kabob. Can you make that happen?

I'm so glad to see this at TOHOT, Laurie. The tailgate picture reminded me...years ago when we were first married, Paul and I used to go to Steve's Ice Cream in Dallas. It was one of those places where they mash all the goodies into the ice cream. Then we would sit on the tailgate of his Nissan truck and eat the ice cream. It was not the North Dallas thing to do and there were a few comments made at us but we didn't care. :)

Thank you for supporting Thoughts of Home on Thursday.
