I decided that I would just set a simple little table for one, I mean simple...nothing flamboyant! It's such a perfect little spot to eat alone and quietly take in a little beauty from the outdoors.

Maybe I'll sit down and just have a little light lunch~ maybe I'll turn on my player piano and listen to a something classical or maybe a little light jazz~
What do you think I should have for lunch? I love light, easy and simply~

I think this is a lovely spot for lunch. I am always ready for chicken salad!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful spot for one and a lovely view. I think Linda is right, chicken salad sounds good on a croissant and some fruit on the side.
ReplyDeleteNancy, don't miss my giveaway for Lisa Leonard jewelry going on this week.
Nancy...what a nice spot to enjoy a meal...I say a salad with fruit and cheese on the side....
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spot for lunch... what time should I be there? : )
ReplyDeleteYou get to look at scenery like that?? Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the tablescape and the view out the window. How about yogurt and graham crackers?
ReplyDeleteI am a simple kinda gal! Love this simple but gorgeous setting! The view is awesome! I think you should have a chicken salad sandwich on wheat with grapes in it, pickles, chips and sweet tea! I'll be there shortly, hehe!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day, hugs!
Nancy, I love it. I should be setting a place setting for myself on the nights Hubby works. Those meals are lonely so I avoid the table....and I always eat more than I should if I'm watching TV.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration.
So Pretty!!
ReplyDeleteGreen Salad....yes!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. The vase with the beautiful tulips is so pretty and eye catching. YOur dishes are stunning. I LOVE the colors and the pattern. How about a little chicken salad sandwich and some really cold ice tea. That sound perfect to me. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, What a wonderful setting for you to have lunch at! I hope you had just a wonderful little treat there for yourself! Looking down a bit on your blog I see your beautiful grandchildren! And your trip in 2005 to London pics were fabulous! I went to Europe in 2007 with my oldest daughter and three girlfriends and I agree, it was magical! We went to the Netherlands, Holland (oh, Kuekenhoff Gardens just must be the MOST beautiful gardens on the earth!) and then Belgium and Paris. I'm dying also to go back just as you are! Thanks for visiting my blog today and for your sweet comment on the rainbow cake! Suzie
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to have you come and visit me. Your plates and table setting are lovely...very pretty pattern...and what a great view you have.
I knew immediately what I was going to suggest you have for lunchy and I was surprised because the first 2 comments I read from other bloggers were what I was going to say.
Today I made a chicken salad from left over chicken from last night. I made a yummy sandwich from it along with a side of coleslaw and pickles! Yum!
I wonder what you did have for lunch.
Hope its been a really good day!

Everyone seems to be up for chicken salad! lol! How about a nice caprese salad, the tomatoes would really pop on those beautiful dishes. I love the view out your window...all that greenery!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are surviving this hot summer, Nancy!

Nancy, I love your table for one. I love that idea too. When I'm alone the computer is my setting. Isn't that terrible? I'll try to learn from you. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a simple kind of girl too. I'm all for a peanut butter and pickle kind of girl...yum.
ReplyDeleteYou know you are right - sometimes we just have to treat ourselves and have time with us.
ReplyDeleteChicken salad sounds good.
Sandie
I just found your blog, clicking through someone else's blog (can't remmeber???). Love the photos. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little lunch spot for one! Maybe tomato stuffed with tuna or chicken salad and some fresh fruit and sweet tea with lemon...Lezlee
ReplyDeleteEvery morning my mom in law brings her pretty little milk pitcher to the breakfast table with her to pour on her cereal. So civilized! Your spot is sweet! Jacqueline
ReplyDeleteThat's a sweet little table setting you have. I like light lunches, too. My newest addiction is tuna fish spread on top of Breton multi grain crackers, along with cucumber slices, carrots or raw green beans.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Wednesday!
Nancy
Hi Nancy, what pretty tulips. Love the view out your window there. Hmmm, how 'bout Akmak crackers and Swiss cheese, maybe some grapes, and some juice spritzer?
ReplyDeleteNancy, those dishes are wonderful!! And I'd love to dine by a window like that. Lovey!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out Clay's blog. He is a wonderful photographer and artist.
Hugs,

If you set out one more of those beautiful table settings, I'll come eat lunch with you and I'll bring the food! How about we have a tasty tomato, mozzarella bufalo, basil salad with a sprinkling of balsamic vinegerette? And a tall glass of iced tea with mint. Then you can help me whine about how my little cottage by the sea is not coming along quickly enough — wah wah wah.
ReplyDelete..a lovely view and a lovely setting!
ReplyDeletelove the flowers. the plates were very eye catching.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Too many times I rush through my meal. Because I work from home I TRY and make time to sit and enjoy my food. Table for one, please. Thanks for making it special.
ReplyDeleteLove to you~
Rebecca PS: Thank you for visiting me today! xo
Whenever there is fresh flowers, your table turns to fancy! Any meal would be more delicious with this table setting and that lovely view.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit, Nancy; it's nice to "meet" you. Perhaps you can do Blue Monday next week.
I love the plates! How about my Cranberry Spinach salad I posted earlier this month?
ReplyDeleteThis looks so cozy - a place for reflection and contemplation...
ReplyDeleteWell..what a great way to relax and unwind. I've learned in the last three years to really take time to stop and enjoy the food I'm eating...love to set a pretty table, yours is lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy reunion was okay...glad I went..I'll leave it at that! ;-)
