This is the first time I've joined Susan from Between Naps on the Porch Thursday Tablescape. She so graciously brings an abundance of bloggers together for a tablescape. Be sure to visit....
I hadn't intended to show this as a tablescape I just loved the colours together. We were having a fish dinner at the cottage when Marc's daughter Janet was coming over for dinner last Friday with Jack.
We were having clam chowder in the mugs and I normally could use the bread plates under the mugs. I didn't though and Jack didn't mind. He just gave us one of his favourite smiles.

It was a casual dinner and I put out the bright summery striped placemats I'd purchased recently. They go so well with the glasses we drank our iced water or iced tea from. The dishes we have are stoneware by Corningware in a reddy chili colour and yellow peppery colour. When we set them out we coordinate each person's place setting using a mix of the 2 colours.
I know some of you say "oh no...not faux" but I couldn't resist when I found these 2 bunches of "pick me up faux flowers" at the Dollar Store. Then I added a third little sprig of blue. I couldn't resist they were sooo pretty. I'll tell you in another post about the "real flowers" in the glass vase beside the faux flowers.

Wasn't it a beautiful day with the lovely blue lake in the background? The windsock was barely moving just enough for a gentle breeze.
I hope you've been having a lovely day...
