I know you are thinking, "why is she offering outdoor entertaining suggestions the day after a blissfully long weekend?"  But, dear friend, you are thinking about it all wrong.  These suggestions are actually 3 days early for next weekend!

LOVE this hand-painted drink dispenser! 

Galvanized pedestals set the perfect tone outside!

Melamine chintz!  Need I say more?!

Ceramic berry baskets!  Love those for going from fridge to table everyday!

Ahhh!  The most gorgeous hammock I've ever seen.

Maybe the kids will play with this lawn bowling set while I nap in the hammock!?
