Fall is for Footbal

Fall is certainly for football fans.....

This table is set for burgers and chips and a relaxing day by the lake to watch football.

We have a store nearby called Mystery Bins and I bought all of the paper goods (plates, cups and napkins for 20) for only $2.  I cut 4 rectangles of brown paper for placemats.  The center tray is an enamel MacKenzie-Childs Emerald Check Tray.  An old milk glass vase holds the flag as a simple centerpiece.

What's in the little canvas bags?

These were freebies at the NYS Fair last week!

Cute wooden flatware!

This was a last minute table setting and quite inexpensive, too!

Williams Park, in Cicero, NY, is the perfect place for a picnic and only a few miles away.  The view of Oneida Lake is lovely, there are small covered pavilions to reserve, grills, a gazebo, a splash pad, a beach and a playground.

Let's grill some hamburgers and have "football brownies" for dessert.  Bring your iPads so we can watch the game.

Are you ready to cheer on your team this season?

I hope your team wins!

This tray is perfect for serving hamburgers or appetizers for football games: MacKenzie-Childs Emerald Check Round Tray

Easter Breakfast Table for 2

Once again I am joining Rita @ Panopy for a Tablescape Hop.  At the end of this post you will find the other participants, so hop around for some Spring inspiration!

We are heading to Disney with our girls and their families for Spring Break so we won't be having a traditional Easter this year.  This table was just set for a Sunday morning breakfast for just the two of us:

I placed the bunny plates on top of MacKenzie-Childs Royal Check dinner plates and paired them with matching napkins.

Dollar tree blue stemware and my hand painted champagne flutes coordinate well with the 'blues':

My 25 year old Dedham Pottery bunny, which was a gift from my BFF, sits in the center of the table:

A few Royal Checked flowers coordinate well with the dinner plates:

A simple setting for a breakfast of mini quiches and fruit!
