Setting a Summer Table

I don’t know about you, but summertime makes me hungry. 

The seasonal food is downright fabulous, and I have way too many favourites.  They’re fresh.  They’re sweet.  They’re delicious to eat.   My only problem is knowing when to stop!

Anyway, in addition to so much good fresh food, summer is definitely the best time to dine al fresco.  Awhile back, while gift shopping for a special occasion, I was delighted to find a gorgeous selection of sophisticated serving ware at none other than Ten Thousand Villages.   Inspired by an old tear sheet I had tucked away, I decided to set myself the perfect summer table, fair trade style.

Can you imagine a dinner outside this divine?

    Thanks for the shoutout! I love that tablecloth too! It is almost like a beautiful denim indigo in person. It is inspiring me to do a blue dining room.

    Hey Babe

    You need to say you booked your Spain tickets!

    Remember the books I bought on dating a YEAR ago if you can believe it, at chapters during our girls day at Hilary,s.

    Some of them are good! You must have single women in your readers….an idea, no?

    Your blog is fantastic:)
