Hi and happy Friday to you, is it really already August! The other night I set up a casual al fresco dinner for four and it was such a treat. I can’t believe it’s only, \u00a0I think the second time I have done this all summer. I say it every year but this summer has flown, really<\/em> flown. I plan to do more of these. We bbq’d, another thing we have hardly done and it was a treat. Add a little ros\u00e8, some nice music and it made for a beautiful summer evening.<\/p>\n

I paired my melamine with porcelain chargers, fun to mix things up. And to celebrate summer we have a very special offer for any melamine purchase from our truly exceptional melamine collection<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. People often cannot believe they are actually melamine!<\/p>\n

So here was my setup-<\/p>\n

_____________________________________________<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These beautiful summer flowers were my starting point in one of favorite small vases<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Prepping behind the scenes on the menu was barbecued steak, chicken, eggplant and chicken burgers plus lemon pesto pasta and salad<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So happy our fabulous porcelain wine cooler just came back in stock<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The perfect ingredients for an alfresco table, our melamine pates, monogrammed napkins, porcelain chargers, bamboo flatware and pretty summer flowers!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

These square porcelain vases<\/strong><\/em><\/a> are the perfect size for a small dining table<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This fabulous ice bucket\/cooler<\/strong><\/em><\/a> can easily hold 4-5 bottles such a great piece that I have also used as a planter for flowers, double duty:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Blue and white always feels right<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/em><\/p>\n

Haven’t done a BBQ in so long!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" <\/em><\/p>\n

Love a nice fresh salad<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/em><\/p>\n

Food was so good<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This ros\u00e8 was really good, first time trying<\/p>\n

____________________________________________<\/p>\n

For every melamine purchase you make, get another free! (no code necessary) <\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Need to do this a lot more often while the weather allows it! Blue and white always to the rescue and when paired with pretty summer flowers, its a hard combination to beat. Thanks for stopping by, wishing everyone a fabulous Friday….<\/p>\n
