At The Garden Party








A market canopy is so handy and very nice to have, but a garden party can have just as much romance under a market umbrella, a mosquito net, or even just a few sheer curtains hung from the trees. Ours are vintage of course! And pretty easy to find inexpensively at a thrift store.



The girls can almost stage the scene all by themselves. A different menu every afternoon. . . .



Don't care for chocolate? Lemon flavors not your thing?  Not to worry. . . There's always tomorrow!







No shoes required. 














A nice breeze comes up and there's a beautiful drama of billowing curtains like that opening scene in Gatsby! Ahh. . . Summer afternoons. . . . Here's a link to a little fancier feast we arranged for the garden party last summer.




I hope you're taking a little time out for summer fun too!

  7. Dreamy, creamy, rosy and delightful!

    I went back to last year's and smiled when I noticed how rusty the one iron plant stand holder got within the year.....the rustier the better I say!

    LOVE you have grand daughters. They are beautiful and precious. You are such a good influence to them.

    Hugs.

    I joined in Where Bloggers Create yesterday. It is so fun to post a bit again. I am trying to organize my work to be back in the fall, possibly.
