COTTAGE STYLE CENTERPIECE FOR THE SUMMER SEASON

Let's set the mood....

Summer is pretty much here...

it seems as if the garden bloomed overnight...
I just saved a recipe for
Strawberry Peach Ice Pops...
how divine does that sound?

So, I was thinking that the farmhouse table needed a new look...
I pulled together a little centerpiece for June....
and as I promised, I wanted it to feature the creamy white
of the Magnolia blossoms.....using things I had on hand...

For the base, I used a wooden cutting board,
two different neutral containers....
faux florals I had on hand....

For ambiance, every centerpiece needs a candle....

with the most beautiful aroma of freshly brewed coffee..

and a touch of green toile.....

I am totally in love with small touch activated accent lights...

Summer brings forth the smell of freshly cut grass,
the ever so refreshing taste of watermelon
and those afternoons browsing the Farmer's Market...

I think it's the perfect time to make a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie..
just like Mother made..
the days are long and carefree....
let's gather at home...
