What says summer better than eating outside?
I cannot imagine anything that makes summer more pleasant than a good meal eaten in nature.
Anika and I took a table outside this fine afternoon and started setting up. We had many ideas which included some lavender mats under our Waverly dinner plates. Of course, as with many great ideas, the ideas came and went. We redid the table a couple....well a few different ways.
We had chairs at one point....then we set them aside. There was talk of going to get the round table and opting for a dinner for two, but we scrapped that. Our neighbors were cooking out....we were thinking they might like to "borrow" the table when we were done, after all they are the family of four we didn't want to break the table down to two for!
Well enough "chit chat"
Here is what happened and we Loved it!!

Thanks for stopping by - I bought my orange flatware in the seaside town where we have our beachhouse. I paid $4 for a setting of four!!!
