Fresh Peach Crumb Loaf…
Corn on the cob and Fresh cherries…
Fresh strawberries injected with whipped cream…
And a little quiet time at the beach after a busy Summer Sunday!
Hope you all had a great weekend!
I am late for Laurie’s Favorite Things , and The Tablescapers Summer Sundays… but my favorite people, my family was here for the weekend!
It’s Foodie Friday at Gollums and Flashback Friday at Suzy’s Kitchen Bouquet.
My friend Pam gave us some wonderful gifts for our anniversary. She knows I am a fan of WSonoma Outlet and put together a lovely assortment of goodies.
I can’t wait to make it…
I hope mine looks like that!
I plan to make it for the weekend, so come back and see if it worked!
My Flashback is to last summer, and another cookie pan.
The Cookiesicle
Tasted good with an Ice Cream Soda made with homemade ice cream! I made these for an Ice Cream Social Suzy had last summer.
Suzy is going to have another Ice Cream Social this summer, I hope you’ll think about joining in! I am digging out the ice cream maker this weekend!
Stop over at Designs by Gollum to get lots of food ideas, and Suzy at Kitchen Bouquet. Ask her the date for the Social!
Thanks for visiting! See you for Favorite Things at Laurie’s and The Tablescapers Summer Sundays!
Once in a while I know what I am going to do, but usually I am trying to think of something I haven’t done!
I mean dh yells asks 10 times a day, “What are YOU doing?” Somehow I don’t think he is referring to my tablescape of the week! :)
My inspiration this week…
By Waverly, pink hydrangea with shades of green…
And this…
Pink Hydrangea by the good Lord!
I started with a soft green tablecloth with a flower design. (clearance at BBandB because the pkg was missing!)
The plates are a rosy pink and are from Portugal via TJMAXX. They are oval shaped, and marked down to $2.00
The salad plate is a soft mossy green. I got service for 4 for 12 dollars. Yep, clearance section of Home Goods!
Complete in cute little hat boxes. Makes it easy to store!
The glasses are from Lenox.
Flatware by Dansk. Beaded napkin rings from CTS. 20 cents!
I also have these, same color, but wood by Park B. Smith, whatever!, also 20 cents at CTS.
Little pink and green ceramic buckets I have had . They are from a no longer store, Odd Lots or Job Lots. The price is still on them, 99 for the small, 1.99 for the large one.
My friend Marigene at In the Middle of Nowhere loves green, but I hope she will excuse my pink! :) I am trying to convert her!
Saturday was my dear little gdau Lily’s dance recital.
She was in 3 numbers and did a great job!
My mom always made a nosegay for our recitals, and I continue the tradition.
Hydrangeas, Baby’s Breath and of course, a Lily for Lily! Last year, the deer ate all my flowers the night before, so I was guarding the blooms closely!
I made a little one for The Tablescaper’s sweet daughter who was in the recital too.
My 3 little gsons sat for the 3 hour recital! Thanks to DSI’s, those electronic games.
Please visit Susan, our hostess at Between Naps on the Porch for all the other tables this week!
And since I have pink this week, I am joining Beverly for Pink Saturday. Thank you, Beverly!
Gollums Foodie Friday, Suzy’s Flashback Friday, Laurie’s Favorite Things and The Tablescaper’s Summer Sundays are all coming up. Maybe you will be joining in this week?
Thanks for visiting!
Laurie at Bargain Hunting with Laurie does a meme every Saturday. You just show a favorite thing. Can we ever run out of those? :)
Do you have these? Hypericum or St. John’s Wort. They spread like crazy, so I just pull them up and plant them all over. My neighbor is a doc and told me they are used to treat depression. Maybe we should roll around in them? No need, they make me happy just seeing them bloom every year.
Some Baby’s Breath and Dianthus…and some silly iris I bought that never bloom. They have to go!
Some to welcome the mailperson!
Clematis on the arbor, and…
Lilies scenting the air…
Flowers are definitely among my favorite things~
How about a boat ride on a Summer Sunday?
Here’s one coming in to pick us up! Grab your life jacket! This is the little yacht club for my community.
See the name of the boat on the left? The owner has a car dealership. Hence the name, :). Pat Mille Favoriti…see where it is from??
I am joining The Tablescaper for her Summer Sunday meme. Please go visit these 2 special bloggers and see what they have for you!
Hope you are all having a wonderful June weekend!
Monday is Flag Day…the emblem of the home of the free because of the brave.
Show your colors…long may she wave :)
Thanks for visiting!
It has been a busy week. As I mentioned, my sister and her husband were here from TX for my oldest sister’s 50th anniversary party.
The first night they arrived I made Colossal Shrimp, (an oxymoron :) ).They were excellent , under 15, plump and juicy! I made them in a wine sauce over linguine and snow peas… Fresh 7 grain bread and butter.
Here is the table…
Simple spooner filled with fresh flowers…
The “napkins” are Waverly dishtowels…really pretty ones!
Red chargers from PBarn, plates from TJMaxx, flatware by Cambridge, glasses from Dansk. White cloth I’ve had, indiv butters from WSonoma.
For Foodie Friday, just the everyday dishes…so not a tablescape, a food scape! :)
Mon. night for dinner we had a big salad, bow tie pasta with roasted chicken and snow peas, and fresh pineapple.
The plates are Fiance Fruit by Dansk.
I am joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
And ML at Designs by Gollum for Foodie Friday.
And of course my friend, Suzy, at Kitchen Bouquet for Flashback Friday.
Please visit them for some more tables and food! :)
Coming up…
Laurie at Bargain Hunting with Laurie’s Favorite Things Sat.
The Tablescaper’s Summer Sundays…Sunday of course!
Thanks for visiting!
I am late but it still Sunday, and I want to join in the The Tablescaper’s event, Summer Sunday.
Today we celebrated a very happy event, my oldest sister’s 50th wedding anniversary. It was a lovely party, 150 people, some I hadn’t seen in decades. Lots of fun and lots of Irish dancing!
A few things I look forward to in summer..
Homemade fresh peach ice cream…..
Watching the gkids enjoy our beautiful beach…
Family clamming adventures! Here come the makings of some Long Island Clam Chowder!
Hope you all had a wonderful Sunday!
It’s time for The Tablescaper’s first party…
Dishes in Poetry
Where do you keep it all?
So many people ask..
Finding room for all this cwap.
Is not an easy task!
Fill up every closet…
Stuff it in a drawer
Give away a few things,
Make some room for more!
Stack it in the pantry,
Racks in basement too
I don’t have a dish ROOM,
Like so many of you do!
Now this is just a smidgen
Of lots and lots of junk…
So when the dish police are watching,
I keep it in my trunk! :)
Be sure to visit The Tablescaper to see her very organized dish room!
