I have a confession to make. This is really embarrassing. All of our everyday china has gotten pretty shabby so I bought some plates in January at Home Goods. That is not the confession or the embarrassing part. Nope.
I had seen this new lemon line around lately…so classic and pretty…
So when I saw these at Home Goods I got so excited! And yep, on the back they are stamped Sur la Table. At $3.99 each I scooped 2 up, planning lots of spring and summer settings in my head~lemons and blue birds and a new color palette to play with. Up into the cupboard they went as I smiled and thought of the fun I would have pulling these out in a few months.
In my mind I pictured a table of bluebirds and lemons with a cool carafe of lemonade to drink
I began to set the table
blue napkins and mats, and a bluebird glass
Green flatwre and wait….
as I topped the dinner plate with a yellow salad plate and green decorative bowl I noticed something…someone has stolen my lemons!
Why they are not lemons at all! They are pears and onions! What!!! How can this be!!! Where are the lemons???
Sigh…so embarrassing! With my keen artist’s eye I couldn’t tell a lemon from a pear and an onion!
So maybe “life” didn’t hand me lemons
But I made lemonade anyway!
This is supposedly Chick Fil-A’s official recipe for Diet Lemonade
