Summer Dining

Summer is in full swing at our house.

Loving a little nautical table for our Sunday dinner.

Simple summer dining.

The centerpiece is made up of things pulled from our guest bedroom/bath.

The ocean really does fix everything!

Tablescape -

Pier One - glassware, blue glass chargers, galvanized chargers, and napkins

Amazon - silverware {sailboats}

 TJMaxx --  red placemats and gull

Hobby Lobby -- white tray

Mom-N-Pop Shoppe - salt and pepper shakers

Centerpiece - treasures and shells collected over the years from our ocean visits

Every year we have a 'back-to-school' dinner as we prepare to head back to school.
A few years ago we had a nautical themed dinner.
{You may notice a few items are being used into our current table.}
You can read more about it here.

Sand & Sea Table

A simple Sunday table -- using aqua and blue.

{Reminds me of hunting for pretty shades of sea glass when we lived on the coast.}

Tablescape --

TJMaxx -- striped napkins, aqua placemats, stemware, white plates & fish bowls

Pier One -- galvanized chargers & blue glass chargers

Amazon -- sailboat flatware

I've mentioned this before, 

but I often like to assemble my centerpieces on trays --
for easy set-up and removal.

Red.White.Blue

Setting our first red.white.blue table for this weekend.

I like to keep a centerpiece on our kitchen island.

Then, when it is time to set the table, it is so easy to pull everything together.

Initials for each person in our family...

Love these chargers from Pier One.

Early morning sunshine coming in the window...

Happy Flag Day!

One of our past flag day tables.

Looking forward to more red, white, and blue in July on the 4th and 24th!

Sunday Preps

I like to set our Sunday dinner table on Saturday night --

a quick trip out to the garden for these pretty peonies.

I'm thinking white plates and aqua accents.

Happy Memorial Day!

Just a little grill-time in the backyard --

Fresh fruit

Pasta

Veggie Platter

Baked Beans

Burgers on the grill

Summer Kick-Off!

Fifth Day Fifth Month

Happy Cinco de Mayo --

from our table to yours!
