Yesterday while treasure hunting I was thrilled to come across this lovely vintage French bistro set.
The color is perfect and has a little chippy paint,although I don’t think this is the original paint.
Our yard is still a mess from the construction,well mostly our garden.
I have a crew coming next week to help get our garden back into shape.
We have lots of rocks here,you dig into the soil you hit a rock not fun when you are doing the edging or planting.
Because this will be a big job , my husband and I decided to hire a gardening crew to get things started.
As much as I would like to show you my screened in porch it’s not happening until we get our yard cleaned up,it’s not a pretty site.
But I may still take photos of how it looks now once it looks pretty.
I think you will like seeing the before and after.
I wonder what my neighbors think of me setting this vignette up and taking photos.
Only one of my neighbors knows that I have a blog.
(That sweet pink tote and pitcher are available in the SHOP)
I am keeping this French bistro set on this side patio.
It’s nice to have extra seating and it can easily fit inside our porch.
Love these roses but I am looking forward to cutting my own from my garden.
I am planning on planting more rose bushes and perennials.
I won’t get everything planted this season,something will wait until next year.
It can be very expensive buying perennials and shrubs,and it’s also good not to buy too many because it’s more watering that must be done.
And we usually go through a drought starting in July.

Thank you Yvonne!
I have the same set! Although I brought the chairs indoors to use in my bathrooms. Lovely find Anne!
Ha! So cool Anne yes this can be used indoors or out!
That’s a great looking bistro set you found! I love those. I know you will enjoy using that in your soon to be fixed up back yard.
Yes Kelly it will be nice to sit outdoors and look at pretty things and not a messy yard!
Beautiful set Anne~I love roses too, and look forward to cutting some of my own when they finally bloom in a few months,
Thank you Amy!
Love the set.. I have one sitting on my back veranda and it gets used quite often! take care, Maryann
Thank you Maryann!
Love your bistro set, Anne. I hear you on the expense of landscaping! It is a commitment once the $ is invested to continuously water; otherwise, you may as well just watch those dollars circle the drain. Have a great weekend.
Thank you Rita! Yes it is an investment,usually we plant in the fall which is better but I want an instant garden this year with my daughters graduation party.
Hey there! Remember me? We met at Kris’ last summer. Do you mind telling me how much you paid for the bistro set? I have been looking high and low, saw a few and just don’t know what a fair price is. Can you send me an email?
Happy Weekend, Anne!
XO,
Jane
Not sure what a fair price is either Jane.I did not get these at a thrifty price,but I really love it.And they are in amazing condition.Still completely sturdy 🙂
charming little table and chairs, anne:) love the color–mine was a not so cute green when i found it. happy weekend!
Thanks Lynn….happy weekend to you too 🙂
Anne this is just gorgeous chipped and all.. I would love to find one of these are even a chair, I am not picky. I have had a thing for bistros sets for years now. Don’t know where it came from but I adore them. I can’t wait to see the porch. I know you have been waiting a long time for t hat baby!
Cynthia
Thank you Cynthia! I too have been looking for a set for awhile,and then I spotted this one.Don’t give up you will find the perfect one.
Very pretty ~ I love bistro sets and that soft blue is my favorite color!
Thanks so much JoAnne!
Anne,
It’s gorgeous! What a lucky find. We are in the process of fencing in our front lawn a bit so that we can contain our two dogs after we throw open the doors to our dogtrot and enjoy the lovely breezes. I’m looking for a small bistro set like yours, so that we can enjoy our large front porch much more than we do now.
Congrats!
Kim
Oh that sounds wonderful Kim! Keep looking you will find one!
Oh sweetness! I am so glad there was a place to sit, I needed to rest and take in the soft beauty and cottage romance of it all, just so sweet here beautiful!
Anne, you never surprise us with you beauty, it’s something we are certain to find and see on a visit with you.
