Who is ready for summer hosting!? Or summer dining? Or just summer in general? All of the above for me! My girls are in the middle of finals then moving home for the summer in one week! Kole is out of school at the end of May. So ready to get everyone out of school and under one roof again. :)

I’m also excited to have friends over in the backyard to swim and eat and chat and I found the cutest dishes and accessories to use all summer long!

How fun is this set!? I couldn’t love this beverage tub, drink dispenser, serving tray and caddy more. The rattan wrap is summer perfection!

As soon as these cute items landed on my doorstep I set up an outdoor tablescape to try them out! LOVE the braided jute runner. I will use this time and time again through all the seasons. It’s nice and long and was such a good price.
And these chargers! Are you kidding!? Braided jute with a crochet trim. SO cute. I got the blue to match these plates but they also come in ivory. You can flip them on the other side to see more of the crochet trim for a different look. The blue and green plaid plates are so fun with these coordinating napkins.
I love this foldable serving tray to hold snacks or fruit too!

I added this pretty blue candle because it smells so good! It will probably land on my coffee table when I’m not using it to entertain.

Terracotta Vase, Flower Bundle, Blue Plates
For a centerpiece I used this long time favorite vase with a pretty blue flower bundle I bought last summer. It looks like the larger size is back in stock this year! It’s so gorgeous. I’m adding the large bundle to my wish list because I have used this small bundle so much. You just set it in a vase and done! I also ordered these cute blue appetizer plates. They have a green trim and the cutest curvy edge!

Isn’t this table so fun for summer!?

I’m picturing this cute plaid serving platter holding chicken and steak kabobs! Who wants to bring them? I’ll supply the cute dishes. ;)
A few pics I snapped of the yard..

There’s our swan! Now this post is complete. ;)
Happy summer hosting!

What an inviting space, terra Makes me long for the days growing up where we had an inground pool. That swan would have been a must have for me! Thank you for sharing your lovely backyard. Yay for your girls coming home again and Kole finishing up at the end of the month (same here). My younger daughter graduates college in just a few days! Yay! :)
Jeanne! So happy to hear that about your younger daughter! HUGE congratulations! So excited for you all! :)
So pretty!
I’m so glad all your kids will be together again soon!
Thank you so much Kathy! So sweet of you! Definitely ready to have everyone home again. :) Happy Mother’s Day!
What a cute table setting! Honestly, I am so not ready for the summer. We have been so busy almost every weekend with volunteering on top of our normal weekday jobs. Our yard has seen better days, many of our perennials died from the early frost we got last year. We haven’t even cleaned the patio or opened up the furniture covers. I wish the days would just slow down.
I get it Debbie! Always so much going on. I can’t believe we are almost half way through May!
