Pink/Green/Yellow Tablescaope Mock Up

A few disclaimers here.  Pretend everything is clean.  :-)   Pretend we have awesome napkins.  {I have no idea what they look like, but pretend they are there!}  Pretend we have a centerpiece. Also pretend that I shot this all in the correct light so the colors are bright and cheerful...not gloomy. 

I took photos using what I have to see how it photographed. 

Hot Pink and Green Set of Picnic Stuff

I have so many pieces for this set, but making it all pop is going to be a challenge.  I am thinking white place mats will be good under the pink plates.  White glasses would be good too.  What color napkin?  Is the lime green stuff too much or does it break up all the hot pink?

These mini colanders are so cute.  What can I do with them?

The tablecloth.  Love it!

September Tablescape Idea Board

Remember this bowl from Sam's Club 100 years ago?  I don't have the rectangular platter that goes with it, but I have saved this for ages to go with a bowl and pitcher that Aunt Judy gave me for my wedding. 



Here is the pitcher.  It needs a white background to show up...so I need a white table cloth.

I am using my orange place mats!  That will be three tablescapes in a row using orange place mats!  Anyway, I am thinking I am going to put an Italian spin on this table scape.  I am not completely sure HOW I am going to do that, but that is the goal.  Any thoughts or ideas?

For Halloween - Two white pumpkins and orange-ish place mats




English Hunt Table - Inspiration is place mats which I would not actually use as place mats.  I have two of them.

Blue Hawaii - 8 plates, one tray, one sand shovel for serving

I am thinking of this for the blue and sand table scape...although after this I have no idea what I am going to do.  :-)

I made some pickles

You know that big jar of oatmeal that I keep on the counter?  It was empty so I washed it up and made pickles in it.  Kids are so excited for them to be ready to eat.  I don't know if I added enough salt, but we'll see.  I just thought it was so pretty I had to take a picture.  Only problem is that this takes up a good amount of space in the fridge.  But if they eat them up like they say they are going to, then it'll be gone pretty soon.  {I also have a much smaller batch of sweet pickles going for me.}

New Stuff

Our breakfast this morning.  We went to the farmer's market and picked up a quart of strawberries.  We made strawberry whipped cream and sliced strawberries withe sugar for our frozen waffles.  Pretty yummy.   

I sent Alyssa and Isaac out to take pictures of Alyssa.  I did not give them any ideas just told them to get good pictures and to work together.  This is what they came back with.  I am absolutely amazed. 

How sweet is this?

Her bracelet says Faith.

I'll have to photoshop the bra straps, but love the pic.

I know she's not sitting up straight, but still a cute picture.

And finally the new fabric for the love seat.  It is a brick red with a gold check pattern.  It is washed out in this photo.  I love the pattern especially for $3.00!!!!
