When life gives you lemons....Make Lemonade!

The calendar says June 1st but my thermostat was saying 95 degrees today.  That's a little warm for this time of year in New Jersey.  So I thought, what a great day to create a fun and summery tablescape.  While in Marshall's awhile back I came across these adorable lemon plates and had to have them.  What would I ever do with them, well, I'm blogging now so maybe I could create a tablescape!  



I got the green dinner plates at Walmart for $2.00 each and the polka dot tumblers for $1.78, yes, Walmart.  What a great store for such inexpensive and cute finds.  


This was my grandmother's lemonade pitcher.  I just love having things that once belonged to my family.  They are very special to me.



The little yellow napkins rings came from The Christmas Tree Shoppe. This is another great store for inexpensive seasonal things. 



The rattan charges came from, GUESSWalmart.....$4.00 each!


Thank you so much for stopping by....and please bare with me while I try to get my blog site fixed.  I've been having issues with it and I'm not the most tech savvy person around!  

I'll be linking up with:

  13. What a pretty table. You know everyone says they hate Wal-Mart, but I don't know why. You can find great things, like your table setting goodies. Lemons always put a smile to my face for their bright colors. Thanks for sharing them with us today.
