a pina colada: Summer Entertaining

Summer Entertaining

I'm so happy summer is here.

These are some great entertaining items from Sundance Catalog.

The color Yellow is so bright and happy. Who wouldn't want some refreshing

lemonade from this crock? I'm a huge fan of any of the Tolix chair designs.

The traditional tinware is great for camping, traveling, picnics, or BBQ's.

They're so versatile and timeless.

I adore the Provence Table linens: natural and classic.

How fun and festive are these Teahouse Lanterns ? Perfect way to light up the night.

“A good friend is a

connection to life-

a tie to the past,

a road to the future,

the key to sanity in

a totally insane

world.”

-lois wyse

“It is as we serve, as we take time to express
interest and concern in someone other than
ourselves, that we are more likely to gain a
glimpse of who we really are and what we can
ultimately become.”
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“Another fresh new year is here...
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me

To live each day with zest . . ..
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”

~William Arthur Ward

"Whoever is happy
will make others happy too. "
~ Anne Frank

"There is nothing like staying at
home for real comfort."
-Jane Austen

"The glory is not in never falling,
but in rising every time you fall."
-Chinese Proverb

"In spite of illness, in spite even of
the archenemy of sorrow, one can
remain alive long past the usual
date of disintegration if one is
unafraid of change, insatiable in
intellectual curiosity,interested in
big things, and happy in small ways."
-Edith Wharton, A Backward Glance

"It isn't the great big pleasures that
count the most; it's making a great
deal out of the little ones."
-Jean Webster

"Any adult who spends fifteen
minutes with a child outdoors
finds himself drawn back to
his own childhood, like Alice
falling down the rabbit hole."
-Sharron MacLatchie

cause and life experiences is the
effect, then you realize that the
greatest way to change your life
is to change your thinking."
-Marianne Williamson
