Sooooooo happy its Friday..... I am glad the week is over, I need some downtime in a big way. The weather has truly been all over the map as I know it has in many parts of the country. We have had 82 and sunny one day and today it's a cold 48 and rainy........all in one week! I think the flowers and plants are quite confused as to whether or not they should make their debut! I for one cannot wait until the warmer weather is here for good....which makes me instantly crave eating outdoors, one of the perks of the late spring and summer months which leads me to my post today...... I had given a little preview of the beautiful new melamine dishes I was waiting on....by far the most beautiful I have ever seen! So naturally I was super excited about carrying them, well I am happy to report that as of today, they are up for sale in my shop! I am really thrilled about this line, not only do they look and feel like real pottery but they are dishwasher safe, doesn't get better. The glasses also look like real glass....this entire set might well become my every day set! Here's a look at some of the new items, click here to see the entire line in my online shop. Tah dah........Can you believe it's melamine? And it even feels like pottery....I am still amazed! And to whet your appetite for dining outdoors, thought it would be fun to take a look at all the beautiful ways to entertain outside. Don't you just love eating outdoors? I love planning a meal al fresco. How about you? Always love to know your thoughts..... Love mixing natural element like wicker and net with cool blues...so pretty!
