Summer Hibiscus Tablescape

 

As we were working on this week's table, the sky was overcast with smoke and the air was thick from nearby fires burning in Northern California (not close to us, but still affecting our area.) Pat decided we needed some sunshine - so she pulled out the "sunniest" accent plates that she could find and set the table in bright, upbeat colors to cheer up the day.

Flatware is "Bamboo" by Cambridge

We found these Hibiscus accent plates years ago at Pier 1

Pat used one of our favorite "go to" sets of glassware - from the Dollar Tree

The arrangement of silk flowers is in a "Paprika" colored Fiesta(ware) large salad serving bowl

Not tablescaping stuff:

With smokey, overcast skies comes colder temperatures. This is what is on my phone currently:

I have the heater on......in the middle of Summer at 10:58 in the morning. It's a bit weird....
