Playing with dishes

Happy late Summer 

Sweet Friends,

Know most of you must have your

kiddles back to school and might

be glad to be back on some sort of

 schedule yet missing your chicks.

We have been getting prepared for
our daughter and son-in-loves visit
on Thursday.  So was planning
 ahead for a few nice tables so I
could put them together quickly,
if need be.


So did this one last week,  and
thought I would share it with yall.

As it might be my last summer 
table, and might have been my
only summer table....not sure,
cause I don't remember!!  lol

                             

I wanted to use my new dishes that they

gave me for Mother's day, they were

actually to use on our porch as they

are melamine, but by the time I was

gifted with them, and we got home

from our trip,  it was already getting

too hot, muggy and rainy, so never

got to use them out there. So decided

there was no time like the present,
as I want them to know I really
liked and appreciated the pretty
dishes....would rather be using
them on the porch, but that will
have to wait for Spring, I guess.

Thought this fav tablecloth would

 go well with them, so started

with that.  Just love these colors
especially for spring and summer.

Decided the plates sort of got

 lost in all the florals,  so thought

 it needed the green place mats,

and liked it much better.

Decided to use my pearl handled

flatware, since I haven't used it

in awhile...........

My biggest problem was what to

 do for a centerpiece.  I do have

some blue items but they were

all coastal looking and I wasn't

going for a coastal look, so went

 looking thru my stash and found

 my french looking crate basket, 

and it had some gray on it, as does

the tablecloth, and I had 2 other

 plates and bowls left, so decided 

to put those in the crate, along with

 some greenish/yellow hydrangeas.

I used a plate, napkins and the

hydrangeas for the back side.

Also found these 2 blue candles,

 so that took care of that problem!!

Also used these short glasses that I found

later that matched my dishes, I really

 wanted some goblets but there were none

 to be found anywhere in the right color,

so I settled on these, as I do like them.

but these pretty green glass

 goblets make for a much prettier

 table.

So I would probably use the 

green ones for dinner

and blue ones for breakfast.

Already had the green napkins,

so that was nice....

This is from one end of the table.

and this is from the other!!

I always enjoy seeing pretty
tables and think most of you
do too......

So thanks for coming by,

and 

hope you have a great week.

Love, Hugs, and

Colorful Summer Blessings,

Nellie
