I love it on tomatoes so I think I will give it a try! Such a clever umbrella holder! I'm sure no designers on HGTV ever thought of doing that! hehehe I love your watermelon theme. And I am extremely jealous of the beach. We are heading to Cape Cod in a few weeks but just for a few days. Kids can't get away now with summer jobs--sad, but true! Have a happy day!

LOL! I love so much of this, and where in NY are you? We're in Niagara Falls - and I'm still anxiously awaiting most of my summer blooms. I came by via Susan's party, but I missed it myself. I took pics of my pergola all dressed up this afternoon (with the 2 hour lull in the rain), and I REALLY hope you'll stop by and take a peak, and let me know what you think of the progress! :) <br />xo,<br />Aniartisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328154164462941199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-69361776861745685482011-06-23T20:00:38.143-07:002011-06-23T20:00:38.143-07:00So beautiful!
