Watermelon Explosion

It is summer here even though the calendar and the wind don't say so.  The temperature is in the mid + 90s.  The wind use to stop in early May but it has continued daily.  It is very hard on the alleriges and for those with asthma. 

I did two versions of this table last year.  The second was due to the gift of the glass bowls and tray from my friend.  This year she gave me the candle holders and one set of the s and p shakers.  The green goblets and pitcher are from another friend. Every time I get new goodies I want to use them right away.  So here is this years version.

This table says summer to me. So I'm linking up with The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays. Be sure to stop by and see what everyone else is up to these days.

Fiesta and Roses

It is the windy season here in El Paso.  So I prefer to play inside with my dishes.

This table has been up for a couple weeks.  I found the tablecloth and matching napkins at Savers.  It has a label that says made in Italy.  The napkins have the buds and the cloth has the blooming flower. I then found the glasses at Goodwill. There were originally at Dollar Tree.  The napkin rings were a find at Goodwill several months ago.

 Here are some real roses from my dad's house.  Can you see all the buds? I didn't get a picture of them blooming because the winds came in really strong.

I am joing The Tablescaper for Season Sundays.

I hope you all have a great week.  Thank you for stopping by.

Fiesta and a Cherry Tablecloth

The inspiration for this table was the tablecloth. I found this tablecloth at my favorite local thrift store for $2.99. I don't know antything about the cloth but I love the feel and the colors. There is only a hint of the blue on the cloth.  The Fiesta colors are Scarlet, Periwinkle and White. 

I am joining Kathleen for Let's Dish.

Have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by.
