A Battenburg lace cloth that belonged to my Mother covers the table.
The dinner plates are Botanic Garden.
The straw, handled chargers under them were one of my purchases at the recent auction.
I think they are supposed to be steak servers. They came with stainless plates. I paid $5.00 for a set of four. Once again, nobody bid against me. I must have very odd taste. Under each of the straw chargers is a pastel charger. I have four of them in different colors. I purchased them at a store that was going out of business. The four colors were samples, so people could order as many as they desired in the same color. I bought their samples, and with my odd taste, I kind of like that they are different colors.
Can you see the bumble bee on the water goblets?
We didn’t need these wine charms on the stems of the wine glasses. I just used them to perk up these plain glasses.
I served a little salt in the bottom of these decorative bee bowls.
A butterfly pin landed on each side of the carafe that holds Lilies.

I love that little honey bee dish and all of your pretty things. I have been drawn to butterflies this Spring. I just can't get enough of them! Enjoy your week my friend! How's your little grandson doing?
The handles on those chargers are wonderful. I would have bid against you! LOL!
Your attention to details is magnificent. The butterfly pins on the carafe are great.
It's always a treat to visit here.

Great idea about the demitasse cups! Now I know what to do with mine. pretty tablecloth and a fabulous set of chargers!!! Love them a lot. Great table. xo marlis
So pretty! Really like the extra touches such as the butterflies, and using the cups for butter - nice ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you are having a great week.
You always have such fun tables to share, Laurie. I love all your special touches. The demitasse cups is a great idea. I'll try to remember that one.
I always look forward to see what bargains you have to share with us. Your table is beautiful, I love those little cuts.
I have lots of the straw pieces which I use occasionally to make paper plates more sturdy. Why have I never thought of using them with a real plate? Thanks, Laurie!
Love all your little details.
How much fun this is! I love all your little whimsical touches! The colored flatware really intrigued me, and the wine twirlys are adorable. Butterflies here and there and straw are the perfect outdoor touches!

I love the whole table and the butterfly touches, but I have to tell you that my favorite things on it are those beautiful flowers in the centerpiece. I have been pleading for some of mine like that to bloom this year, and so far, we're a bust.
I love butterflies, they remind me of a cousin who passed far too soon. You got a super deal on the straw chargers...love the creative way you are using the demitasse sets. Gorgeous tablecloth, too.
Have a great week, Laurie...
Adorable!!! I would love to go to an auction with you one day, imagine the two Laurie's taking on the auction world!!! Your goblets kill me, pure envy! xo
Cute butterflies, Laurie. You have a lovely table. Love the butterfly plates and cups...Christine
