The first local peaches finally hit the stores and I couldn’t wait to get my teeth hands on some!
Good ole Chilton County Alabama peaches
They are worthy of very special treatment~
and a table full of other summer fruit to compliment them
Cantaloupe, cherries, limes and cherry tomatoes as sweet as candy
all piled on a painted fruit platter with a peachy pitcher
with watermelon accessories
and “watermelon” napkins tucked into the peach colored goblets
It’s a summer fruit explosion!
To make the napkins, just fold pink and green napkins and roll together to form your “watermelon”
roll the ends around and pop it into a glass
Now if you want to go a little over the top
attach some seeds!
Just cut some seed shapes out of something black, felt would be ideal but since there wasn’t any around I painted a piece of paper and used a glue dot to stick them on~just warn your diners to watch out for the seeds!
Ain’t life just a bowl of cherries!
Not to mention a peachy blueberry pie
Topped with granola
You could eat this for breakfast!
