Peonies in Blossom

What a glorious time of year with all kinds of blossoms in

my garden.  

The peonies are beautiful this year. These are more of those

blossoms that just don't last long enough.

I think one of the prettiest color combinations is

one found in nature's flowers - pink and green.

I brought together some of my botanical bowls and plates for

this outdoor table celebrating Mother Nature's bounty of flowers.

Aren't these fun?  I found these last year at Tuesday Morning.

The elongated leaf plate has a small pink strawberry at the end.

I also found the little pink cabbage bowls there on a

separate trip.  

These are especially striking viewed from the side.

I wanted to showcase my peonies, but accented them with a variegated 

hosta and some ivy.

Soft green tones are everywhere on the table.

The peonies take on a casual look with an embossed tin bucket.

Casual plaid napkins are paired with pink satin napkins and

tucked into the green bubble goblets.

Everything creates a fresh look for a summer day.

Just another little touch of ivy to ring the bottom of the stemware.

I just love hostas and these are my favorites.

The textured pale green plates are a perfect simple backdrop

for the other dishes.

How I love to spend time in my back yard.

Get outside and enjoy eating alfresco.

I will be joining these parties
