Dining on the Deck!

We have had several real nice evenings that allow us to eat outside on the deck. I try to take advantage of any opportunity we get because as FAST as summer is going, I know we won't get these opportunities for too long. I LOVE eating outdoors. I found these dishes last year and dug them out to use. I have plants in blue pots out here on the deck so it all blends nicely.
 The turtles are so cute and since the deck overlooks the pond they are fitting.
 I have had these napkins for ages, found them at Goodwill years ago and can't believe how well they go with the dishes! I stacked 2 outdoor placemats that go so well with the dishes.
 I had gathered a plain blue napkin and the print one in a white ceramic ring.

 Green flatware is used again here. I am sorry for the glare on the dishes but I couldn't avoid it.
 The stems as well as the plates are all acrylic. Perfect for outdoors with no worry of breakage.
 After I set the table I remembered I had these fish napkin rings!  Perfect!!!
 We are enjoying many meals out here. That is one of the best things about summer for me, being able to eat outside. How about you, do you enjoy it too?
 
Thanks for your visit. Is summer flying by for you too? I always start wishing it lasted longer around this time each year.  Have a beautiful day, my friends.
XO, Pinky

  1. Hi Pinky! I love your turtle plates and the fish napkin rings. They are very beachy looking and the colors are so refreshing. I wish it were cool enough to enjoy outside dining around here. We can barely get out of the 100s lately. I'm linking up a tablescape this week too, finally. Stop by if you get a chance. Hope your enjoying your summer!

  2. Pinky, your turtle plates are so cute! Love your color scheme. It has gotten too hot for us now to enjoy meals outside. Breakfast isn't too bad; but, anything other than that is almost impossible. So, I'll live vicariously through you! Hope you're having a great week!
