Floral Summer Table for our Dinner Group

Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. On Sat. night, Joe and I hosted our dinner group, so I set a pretty table. I like my guests to feel like I set a special table just for them, cause I do! I cut some hydrangeas from the yard for my centerpiece and the rest grew from there. I had gotten this crock, that is actually for utensils at Joann Fabrics back in the Spring. The colors were perfect to use as a vase for my flowers. I actually placed a glass vase inside the crock so it wouldn't leak on the table.

 I have had these flowered placemats and napkins for years and love to use them in the Spring and Summer.

 I kept it pretty simple. Onto the placemat I used a blue dinner plate, light turquoise salad plate and turquoise shell shaped dessert plate.  I used my nice, bamboo design flatware.

 Garden S and P.

 I used my nice, bamboo design flatware.

 These blooms are so pretty. I do miss my blue hydrangeas so am going to amend the soil next year to make one of the bushes produce blue flowers.

 2 turquoise and silver candlesticks hold turquoise LED candles! All came from Home Goods.

 I am sorry I didn't get any pictures of the food! We served Filets with madeira or peppercorn sauce, mashed potato casserole, and I sautéed some onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and asparagus. Everyone said it was all delicious.

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate every one of you.

XO, Pinky

~~~Easter Table for our Dinner Group~~~

 Happy Easter week! This past Friday evening we hosted our dinner group. So, I set an Easter table for us. I will use these dishes again on Easter Sunday when the family is all here! I wish my son could join us but he is in Fl. And our SIL's sister is serving our country in Germany. But they will be here in our hearts. I love this arrangement of faux tulips, I just didn't have time to run to the store for real ones which I would have preferred. We had a realtor here for 3 hours Fri. afternoon so time was crunched:) Here is the place setting. I used a crisp white tablecloth, a straw blue placemat, then my woven chargers. They remind me of an Easter basket! Then my polka dot dinner plates topped with a polka dot egg salad plate.

 I have 2 different Easter napkins so alternated them at the table. This brings some more interest to the setting!

 I had only purchased 8 of the egg plates so I used these pink flower plates at each end. And they have a cutwork napkin.

 The Napolean Bee flatware seems perfect for an Easter setting!

 The bunny and egg S and P sit on a glass dish.

 I placed the PINK pillars on a chippy wooden holder but lowered them for dinner. A pretty egg ring surrounds the pillars. I found these at World Market this winter when we were in Florida.

 I used my green water goblets and clear wine glasses. I took the pics before I had the wine glasses on the table. I can not BELIEVE how many glasses 10 people can use in one night:):):) I also lowered the centerpiece for easy conversation at dinner.

 Each guest got some jelly beans in these cute egg dishes I found at CTS. I think they are SO cute!

 Looking down the table. Our daughter and SIL joined us for this party and it was wonderful to have them!!

 The 2 ceramic bunnies were a gift from my daughter many years ago and I treasure them. I had spotted them WAAAAY up on a shelf at a gift store so told her and she went and got them for me!!!!

 One is sitting and the other is looking for some lettuce, I bet:)

 Pretty tulips...

 Polka dots

 Pretty details of the napkins.

 Here is a shot of the table. I sure had to use a mish mosh of chairs but that was fine. We had a wonderful evening. Here's hoping you all have a beautiful, blessed  Easter and are surrounded by loved ones. Thanks once more for your visit! I will join these linky parties:
