Hello Everyone!

I first want to thank everyone who has participated in my french ticking pillow giveaway, I really appreciate it.

There is still time to enter it if you haven't already... Just click here ~

It ends Friday at 9:00 P.M. P.S.T.

Today, I thought I would share a few pictures of my dining room with you.

My mom and brother were here visiting a couple of weeks ago, so I snapped a few pictures of the way I set my table for dinner.

I kept it very simple....

I used french canning jars to hold roses from my garden.

I clipped a few hydrangeas from the garden.

Since it is at the end of the hydrangea blooming season, the flowers do not wilt very easily, so I was able to just add them to the table without needing any water.

I am addicted to this sparkling lemonade.

The brand is called Lorina, and is a product of France.

I buy mine at Safeway.

I love to have them sitting out on the table in these french bottle carriers.

If you do not have access to fresh flowers this is a fun way to add color to your table.

My mom made the table runner for me.

I will be selling runners like these in the shop.

I love using a french red stripe runner in my dining room.

The glasses are from Anthropolgie.

I like to only use these on special occasions....

They help add a little bit of color to the table...

I have a mismatched collection of bistro chairs.

I think having them all be different colors makes the table more interesting...

One of my favorite chairs is the orange one....

All of my plates are mismatched as well.

I have found most of my ironstone plates at local tag sales.

I made blackberry pie for dessert.

My friend, Tracey, from French Larkspur, is sharing a french inspired table setting today on her blog...

French Larkspur~

I hope you are all having a great week.

I have to apologize for not being able to get back to everyone lately....

I am hoping to catch up on my emails this weekend!

Take Care,

Maria
