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!!!
