Sunshine & Dishes Tablescape for Summer
An abundance of sunshine, some gardening and a table setting for 2. Life is good!
I stained my tables in the backyard. The wood was looking too new. I am thinking it might need one coat of poly to give it a tiny bit of shine...what do you think?
I used a homemade stain (I filled a mason jar almost full with vinegar and dropped in 3 steel wool pads from the dollar store and waited 2 weeks. This color is one heavily applied coat)
The table runner is actually a thrift store pillow sham.
If you had seen me putting this together, you probably would have smiled, or laughed.
I was battling wind gusts of 10 to 20 mph, and my little green moss rocks wanted to fly fly away.
Such is my life; chasing faux moss rocks, yelling "come back here sparky!"
I sometimes wonder, am I the neighbor you wanna hang out often with and laugh, or are you going to put a privacy fence and waterfall so you don't hear or see me.
Is there a better background then grass? Especially when you can smell the grass your neighbor is cutting?
I'd have taken a shot of him for your use, (Who wouldn't want to see a hot lawn boy?) but I like you....and Brad Pitt he is not.
Trust me on this!
He is a nice neighbor don't get me wrong, but he plows his backyard in the winter time so his dogs can go potty.
I haven't made up my mind if he is a genius at avoiding hideous "shovel injuries" or just a redneck neighbor.
They are still getting bumped around from the wind, so I left the candles out for now.
Remember the burlap table runner I made? You can see that post here
Well all the leftover strings got made into tassils.
I'd say we'll eat out here this evening, but hubby spends a lot of his time working outdoors, so I don't ask him to eat outside after a 10 hour day. But I might be able to entice him with a nice cold beer.
Have a good one!
