Sunday, sigh….I hope you have had a stellar holiday weekend!
After a long, busy, fun, filled week with family, they all left this morning…so we are basically jumping up and down, woohoo! really sad…
We often stay one extra day to get things back in order after which we will enjoy a leisurely meal overlooking the water~I hope~it has been a rainy weekend, and I took these photos earlier in the week when we had a quiet lunch~
Just the 2 of us, some blue skies and some sea shells
everything cleaned up, with peace and quiet on the menu
all the toys at rest on the sand
If you look closely you can see that the blue “tablecloth” is actually a beach towel~
Beach towels are great for using on tables in the summer time, they are bright, colorful and easy to toss in the washer when the meal’s over
This salad buffet we had earlier in the week was set on a beach towel too
Towels are a simple and fun way to add a punch of color, an unexpected table dressing
perfect for lots of different summer meals and parties
Fish place mats swim across the towel to provide landing pads for buffet items and the salad bowl
A blue spoon rest holds the sea shell forks
A pink adirandack chair hold napkins secured with a flip flop
A blue fish platter at buffets end holds bruschetta to nibble with the salad
A few candles and some simple flowers make an effortless summer buffet
It’s fun to see what you can come up with using everyday yet unexpected things…
Thanks so much for stopping by~
Most of the items pictured I have had for a while, I receive so many wonderful beachy gifts from my friends such as the fun
adirondack chair from CTS
sea shell plates at CTS earlier this year,
rattan mats with sea shells are from World Market
