Happy Memorial Day! I hope you are spending this day with family and friends. We are celebrating in our favorite spot, remembering all those that have sacrificed for our freedom, and counting our blessings.
If you look carefully at the shape in the distance you will see a red, white, and blue parasail floating over the Gulf waters~
For our coastal celebration we have to include a nautical centerpiece
The boat is afloat on a sea of blue woven mats
The blue and white boat is filled with colorful balls, bottles and flags
and I couldn’t resist adding a beach chair tea light just for fun~
My good friend SC, who is CC’s other grandmother, surprised me with these little chairs for Mother’s Day, Sweet! I can’t wait to use them all over the place this summer~
The stars and stripes napkins are anchored with mini life preservers
The red and blue glass glistens in the bright sunshine
A white wicker table stands nearby for serving and extra glasses
and we are ready for a lovely meal
on a summer day
Tonight we’ll set the candles aglow
and tomorrow
our guests will head home and I can really be lazy!
