Summer Tabletops To Love

After Wednesday's post, I decided to stick with the entertaining theme and kick-off the weekend with some fabulous summer tablescapes. Whether its hardy succulents or precious peonies (I think we still have one more week of their season!), tulips or simplistic baby's breath, flowers are in abundance this time of year. Rustic, formal, casual or traditional - I can't decide on just one theme so I'll just have to have enough dinner parties this summer to experiment with them all. Have a great weekend everyone - I'm off to a short staycation here. Get outside and enjoy the sun!!!

Summer Essentials From Ikea

This weekend I popped over to Ikea with a very specific shopping list.  Well, it had been at least a year since I'd wandered those aisles, trying to find everything that I didn't need.
