Many of you who have followed our journey know that we have this great old tree we named "Barnabas". It has a great open area under it where I want to put a dining table and I'm always looking for inspiration for lighting and seating.
A wonderful FOF (Friend of the Farm), The Happy Hippy, saw this and emailed it to me. She is just the sweetest thing to think of us. She has a blog but has also transitioned to a beautiful Facebook page as well that links from her blog.
I love the simple white tablecloth and the wicker chair. The lights are also neat, and would work well in our tree area. That's on our project list for this year so I'll have to keep photos like this and others on hand.
Have a great day,
Be Inspired...

1st Man,
ReplyDeleteI love this picture your friend sent you. It's a great idea to be able to relax under a tree on your property and have a relaxing meal with the ones you love.
You could also place a candle chandelier in your tree. I've see some really beautiful but simple candle chandeliers hang from tree's at parties.
I'm going to have to work on that area soon. Once the garden beds are up and running, I'm going to focus on the dining tree area. I'm going to have to google some pictures to decide how to do it just right. :-)
Deletethis is too pretty. i saw the coolest thing that you might like. you take the fabric off of an old golf umbrella and string tiny white light along the frame. hang it by the handle upside down and plug it in and you have a chandelier! if i can find a pic i will send it to you!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a great idea. I'll have to google it and see if I can find it. I actually have an old patio umbrella, but a smaller than normal one, that was old and worn out and I hadn't wanted to throw it away. I just might have to see what I can do with that. Thank you for the suggestion.
DeleteThat photo is so cool! I love the idea. Barnabas will look fantastic decked out in lights!
ReplyDeleteHe does need to be decked out in light huh? :-)
DeleteI like this as well, down home countrified pretty, I'm going to check out her blog!
ReplyDeleteShe lives in paradise, literally, ha. This isn't her tree and property, just a photo she found online somewhere and thought of us, but her blog has some beautiful photos that she has taken.
DeleteLove it!! What a magnificent tree! I'd want to spend all day at that table. :o)
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty huh? I'd spend all day there too. I'm afraid when we get our tree all fixed up, I might feel the same way ha.
DeleteFairy lights are always lovely at night. I think it's a great idea and a lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks, we'll hope to have it done one of these days and you'll be out there to enjoy. :-)
DeleteThank you so very much for the kind words 1st Man, you are such a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI have a number of photos that I have gathered, and think I have the umbrella fairylight idea jaz@octoberfarm mentioned - I'll see if I can find it.
Very happy to have any of you FOF join me, either over at my blog (which may encourage me to actually write more regularly) or on the FB page which is updated daily at
