50th Anniversay Summer of Love Tablescape

For those less enlightened (or those that don't really care), this summer marks the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love where "Flower Children" from all over the world gathered in San Francisco - most particularly, Haight and Asbury Streets. They came to celebrate, to meditate, to protest the Viet Nam War, or any other thing they could think of. (Later, it became less "love" and more drugs, sex, violence, etc. but for awhile......for that brief summer, it was a world of its own.)

Forgive me for waxing lyrical about the Summer of Love. It was a truly different, wonderful time. So much so that Pat wanted to set this week's table to remember it.

Color - lots of color - and flowers set the theme for the table

To my generation, this sign means "Peace" or "Love."

Pat used these "flowers" as a table runner
