Get Your Summer On!

Its that time of year again when we fire up the barbeque, dust off the picnic table and break out the watermelon!

I love what summertime is all about:
 the long, lazy days,
the lighter food
 and entertaining more.


You may remeber this from last year. This is one of my favorite easy peasy decorations to put together. I save a few jars in mismatched sizes, fill with sand and a tealight and wrap ribbons and wired garlands around the lip. Sometimes I add a piece of heavy wire to create a handle. I put a few on the tables on my deck but always line my fron entry way with them to set the mood for guests.

I also like to string clear Christmas lights around the deck's railing for more mood setting effects!

I love the color palette used for this tablesetting, so bright and cheery! You can find more inspiration from Better Homes & Gardens.com
