Dining Al Fresco!

I LOVE eating outside in the summer! Going out to someplace that has outdoor seating is fun and having it at home is even better! I found these amazing acrylic dishes at Home Goods weeks ago and couldn't wait to use them! I marinated some boneless chicken tenders and made a pasta salad and a fruit salad for a light but delicious dinner. I love the blue colors, the bamboo edge and the lovely design on these dishes!

 I found a navy blue beaded placemat, and a  rattan charger for my stack.
 My cream flatware is perfect with the dishes. I used papaer napkins to keep it very casual for just the 2 of us.

 The bowl held our fruit salad.
 These glasses are acrylic also! I LOVE them as they look so pretty!
 Pasta salad
 Fruit salad in an acrylic bowl too.


 My centerpiece is a plant that sits on the table all the time. The coleus came up from seed last year out in the yard. So, I put it in this pot, along with an ivy and this flowering plant and it wintered inside very well!


 I love my large cement like bird too as it is heavy and won't blow away:)

 The night was capped off with a beautiful sunset!


Thanks for stopping by. Have a beautiful day doing what makes you happy!
We had Colleen from Thurs after school til Sunday afternoon and we were exhausted:) But, it was so much fun. She fills my heart with JOY!!!

  3. Love your outdoor setting Pinky! To top the evening off with that beautiful sunset was truly a bonus....It's been quite warm here, even in the evenings. Glad you can have such a wonderful dinner outdoors and enjoy your beautiful surroundings!
