PINK LEMONADE









A Casual Tablescape








With summer's end in sight and a few blooms still in the flower garden I decided to set a casual tablescape inside using my vintage milk bottles. Purchased at an auction years ago, they have been pulled out of storage to use this fall on my dining table on the veranda. I thought this would be a great way to bid farewell to summer. I'm serving my favorite lemonade, and a tart lemon and lime cookie straw purchased at the market. 




My White Ruffled Table Runner



Lazy Susan given to me by my son and daughter-in-law,
made from an old wine barrel top



Pink Rose Tray



Blue Hydrangea Tray














Galvanized French Champagne Buckets












 Dessert Plates








Pretty French Tea Towels

    Thanks for your best wishes on my good news! Moving to Colorado will be a big job but I'm going to be so thrilled to be closer to my children and grands!

  5. That Lazy Susan idea was a touch of genius! I'd love one myself - maybe you should start producing them. Love the table ware etc.

    Happy Pink Saturday!

  10. Mmmmm Pink Lemonade. Yes, I'll have some! Wonderful table setting...very End of Summery. Love the Lantana in the milk bottles. Lantana is one of the hardy flowers that withstands our Texas HEAT. It's been pretty this year. Happy Pink Saturday and thanks for visiting CollectInTexas Gal.

  12. Very pretty items and rich woods - love the lazy susan, bottles and buckets - well, it all just looks really great. I suppose we'll be looking for rain (hoping and praying for it) and waiting for some kind of cooler weather the rest of the summer.

    Happy Pink Saturday!

  13. Sure wish I could join you too, Emily. Every detail is lovely as usual. Love the milk bottles and the tea towels. I especially love that Lazy Susan. I've been meaning to purchase one for years. The color of the lemonade is so inviting. I think I'm inspired to make some for brunch tomorrow.
    To enjoy the last days of summer I'm celebrating it at the shop with a French theme, and I also hope to head out to the beach this week.
    Always a pleasure stopping by.
    Happy pinks!!

  70. Hi Penny, I was actually thinking of you earlier this morning, and I noticed your comment just as I sat down at my computer to pay you a visit. :) Sure hope you can join the carnival. Sounds more spooky than it really is but Anna and Marfi encourage whimsy too, so I think it will be fun.
    I ran across your lovely French drinking glasses a couple of weekends ago while shopping...simply love them and I think I might go back for them. I'll use them to toast some pink lemonade with you. ;)
    Enjoy your weekend, my dear.
    XOXO's,

  72. So I am catching up on your lovely blog, and I get to the Pink lemonade post. I had to get up and make myself a lemonade. Talk about the power of suggestion. Your blog is such a delight to read and look at.

    Your roses are really spectacular. You certainly are talented!
