festive weekend table

We set a festive red, white and blue

table over the weekend.

We had no guests over this weekend,

and sometimes it’s just fun setting a

pretty table for the family.

I keep these little anchors and tassels

all ready to go on pre-wrapped burlap.

All I have to do is slip the whole thing over

a napkin, and we’re all set. 

Strawberries and blueberries are the perfect

summer fruits to add a little pizzazz to the table,

and so yummy too!

I love all the rustic textures on the table,

and this burlap runner fits right in.

I was going to put up the patriotic paper lanterns,

but I kind of like them scattered along the sideboard.

They look pretty all day with the sunlight streaming in,

and lighting them up.

I made a huge pitcher of lemonade and

we enjoyed it all weekend.

It was perfect for this HOT weekend.

And so economical, made with 

fresh mint and lemons from the garden.  

I just refilled this dispenser a few times over the weekend,

and everyone could serve themselves.

And just for fun, we made

lemonade flavored ice cubes with fresh

lemon and mint added.

They looked pretty in the glasses too!

I hope you had a nice weekend too!

It was nice to sort of unwind and chill,

since school just got out last week.

Things are ramping up for the summer,

so a little recharge was more than necessary!
