Pink Summertime Tablescape

Summer is finally here. Current temperature (it's 11:04am) hovers around 59 degrees and its expected "soar" to 63 degrees by mid-afternoon. So....our Great-niece Maya decided to make it feel like a warm Summer day (although she now lives here in Northern California, Maya was raised in the very hot Southern California area) and set this week's table blending pink and yellow with lots of flowers to make a sweet, very feminine table.
