Memorial Day BBQ Tablescape

Memorial Day is the day set aside to remember those that give us the freedoms we, as Americans, enjoy everyday.

It is also the official start of summer and Mr. B breaking out his
mad skills on the BBQ grill!

Since the weather was so nice and, the cottonwood trees haven't yet started to shed, I decided to set my very first tablescape out on the back patio table.

I purchased the vinyl tablecloth at Walmart. I thought the checks with the inset stars was perfect for the holiday.
I decided to keep the place settings simple.
A woven charger from Goodwill, plain white dinner plates from Ikea, flatware from Family Dollar and napkins from Walmart.


Walmart iced tea glasses sit on melamine stars from Target.
For the centerpiece I placed white petunias into a planter from Ikea.
Funky vintage style candles from the restaurant supply store
in case we stay out after it gets dark.
The hamburger and hot dog salt & pepper shakers were
a gift from Mr. B and add some fun and color to the otherwise formal table.

The final piece to the table, other than Mr. B's perfectly prepared steaks and my eggy mac salad, is a vintage condiment set for steak and bbq sauce.

A wonderful way to start summer!
Outside enjoying the sunshine and good food!

Sandal weather is officially here!  Not that it matters much, I am an admitted bare footed kind of gal! Even in the winter, you will find me without shoes to go out to get the paper on cold mornings.
 
But this year the summer weather has caught be a little off guard as my winter feet could sure use a little, eh hum, extra TLC. My concrete heels just aren't cutting it! And with my new job, I can wear kicky sandals so, I need  my feet to look in their prime.  Looking at my poor dry feet while I'm writing this, it's clear they need help.  I put lotion on my face, legs and armseveryday, but my feet? Yeah, not so much.

I recently heard of Tree Hut products.  You might already be aware these nationwide Walmart sold lotions, but I'm out of the loop on this one.  
With hand cream, foot cream and foot scrub, Tree Hut has all my dried out areas covered.  I believe I need to use the foot cream ASAP!
