Time for a Garden Party

-
"There's a freshness, a spontaneity you feel when you entertain outdoors,"stated by Pamela Scurry in a Country Living Magazine. When entertaining at home she uses everyday items. In the photos I am sharing from her story you can see her crafty way to make the occasion special with her Garden Tea Party Tablescape Theme!. She recommends using glass tableware outdoors because the sun makes them sparkle!
Inexpensive tip on a memorable flower arrangement! Mix fake and fresh flowers together!
Float Flowers in a Fountain or a Tub.
To make fresh flowers last longer: Cut the stems on an angle under running water with a pair of sharp scissors, then place them in a vase filled with warm water. "Warm water gets the air bubbles out of the stem, allowing the water to reach the flower head more quickly," says Pamela. If your rose has a weak head, lay it in a baking dish filled with warm water. It'll come back to life by morning.
Don't forget to continue your color scheme when entertaining into your food presentations to delight your guests!

The shelves came out alright, but I didn't have a sawhorse, and the only room in the trailer that wasn't carpeted was the bathroom. I didn't want sawdust to get in the rug, so I used the John as a sawhorse. You guessed it, cut the John in Half!............................................ She wasn't too proud of me, but after all, I did get the shelves built, so she forgave me for my little mistake.. Besides, half a John is quite a conversation piece!...... The following Christmas she decided that I might be able to build some plywood sleighs for fru
