Girl's Camp With A Little Style

Welcome to my back patio.  It is time to have a little backyard fun.

As President of The Young Women's Organization in our church

I am off to Girl'sCamp this week.

We go high into the mountains and when we have to go in June

it can rain and snow every day.

So I found these stylin' rain boots with a western/animal/girlie flair

and knew I had to have them.

Then I knew they had to be the centerpiece for my camping tablescape.

If you can believe it, I found them at the airport!

The Simplicity hedge roses are on their last leg, but they look

perfect placed in boots with matching roses.  I just

placed a tall glass in each boot to hold the water.

I wish Girl's Camp was this civilized!

We do a lot of crafts at Girl's Camp.

That's probably what inspired the napkins and napkin rings.

I had pale pink fabric and animal print fabric already, so I cut

it into 18 1/2 inch squares and used my serger to give them

rolled edges.  The animal print fabric was from a valance that I was

going to throw away.  I decided to hang onto it and have made one

into a table topper and now these darling napkins.

(No greasy fingers-pleeeease!)

I knew I needed some napkin rings to match, but couldn't

find anything.  Then while perusing Wally Mart I saw

these curtain rings and thought, maybe, if I can't find anything else.

Also at Wal Mart I saw these cute jewel buttons, and then

I knew what the napkin rings would be - girlie and bling bling.

I layered black Pfalzgraff with pink ceramics I bought at a local store, Tai Pan.

The heavy braided place mats are from Wal Mart.  The utensils are from

World Market.

If you didn't catch it before, these boots are kickin'.

Don't I wish we had s'mores served up like this!

And if you can find marshmallows in matching pink, why not?

I found these at Wal Mart too.

Mmmmmmmmm Good!

And if it is going to be girlie, we have to have pink lemonade.

These glasses are made by Libbey.

You can get these at a steal on line.  Click here.

At this source they are a couple of dollars apiece.  Other

sources wanted about $15 apiece.

When I get back the Simplicity roses will be done until Fall.

One last look from above. 

The gas fire pit was my Mother's Day gift last year.  It came from Costco.

Before you go, let's toast up some of them  pink girlie mallows.

For now, I am just kickin' back and relaxin'.

Soon I have to leave this ideal world and go pack for the

real world of Girl's Camp - dust and dirt and no showers, but

we do have cabins, and it is spectacularly beautiful.

Of course, the girls make it all worth it

And I do have my boots!

Oh no!

"Mom, would you forget about blogging!  You burned my marshmallows!"

My husband says I have to do some more "manly" things.  One of our

former neighbors and great friend played in the NFL and he told me

he's one of my followers.  Ok, maybe after camp.

I will be sharing this on Rhondi's Rose Colored Glasses for her Porch Party

and Inspiration Tuesday.

It will also be my pleasure to share my dream of Girl's Camp

on Tablescape Thursdays and Pink Saturday (if I can get my sister Joni to link me up while I'm gone.)
