It is crazy how few photos I’ve taken recently.  I must have set a personal record for the fewest number of photos taken in the last few months.  So uncharacteristic of me!

I really noticed it when I got home from the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck this past weekend.  I had a wonderful day with fabulous friends.  Normally I come home with tons of photos to put up for you to see.  Not this year!  In fact, I took only a few photos the entire day!  I guess hanging out with the fabulous friends got in the way!

When I looked through the few photos I had, they were all related to table settings.  I always say everything runs in themes with me and it certainly is true.  My takeaway from the fair this year is to ‘summerize’ my tablescapes!

I love all the cool arrangements created by Cutlery Couture.  They put flatware in little burlap pouches with pretty coordinated designs and ribbons…aren’t they super!  The green herbs are my favorite motif!

I am also inspired to think about adding some embellishments to existing napkins.  Look at these black and white napkins with an embroidered bee…it inspires me to do something similar.  I would like to do some with ladybugs!

I hope the few photos I am sharing from the Country Living Fair this year are inspiring you to come up with some cute summer tablescapes like it did for me!

Thanks for stopping by!  Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie

P.S.  I won’t forget to share ‘after’ photos of the dresser in an upcoming post!
