Summer Arrives ~Whoa, that’s a lot of Color!

Today summer officially arrived and it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

The flowers are blooming…

And so it my table!

table 4230

Some purple hydrangea for the centerpiece.

The cloth is called Elizabeth Exotique by Duralee.  It is a remnant I got at the outlet.

And it has A LOT of colors!

table 4225

The little casseroles are a dark purple, not black!

I used a yellow plate, red charger and green napkin.

table 4234

Purple stems and antique tumblers…

Please stop over at Marty’s A Stroll Thru Life for more Tabletop Tuesday entries, and I am also joining Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday.  Thank you, Ladies, for hosting!
