I love to change table settings, both inside and outside. Here are a few recent ones:
A Book Club lunch for the four of us who stay in the desert during summer with lemons and figs:

Poppies and Sunflowers on the kitchen tables (in an empty tomato can):


Zinnias and Veggies:

Very festive Palma! a true celebration of summers bounty and relaxing summer days w/ family and friends.
Are those real "veggie vases" w/ the zinnias? Did you hollow them out and fill w/ H2O?

So cheery and lovely. It's like a table calling out: "Come here and BE HAPPY!"

No Geri,
They are ceramic. I've had them for YEARS!

Palma, I love your poppy dishes! Where do you find space to store all your different tableware?

Colleen,
Those were from Crate & Barrel a couple of years ago. I have LOTS of storage in my kitchen and the rest of the house and it is ALL filled with dishes!
