Welcome To The 71st Masterpiece Monday!

Plastic Fantastic!

I have a few sets of plastic ware I like using during summertime.

Unlike paper plates, they're reusable and cuter. And great for gatherings so you don't have to worry about broken dishes too.

And they were free, from Freecycle.

My old ice cream bucket usually sits atop the frigde, today it becomes a Summer centerpiece.

Ice cream is our treat of choice during Summer for sure!

Relaxing, my favorite thing to do, this Summer I'm going to make time for it!

Linking with Between Naps On The Porch for Tablescape Thursday.

You're so right. It's much better than worrying about breaking something when we have dinner on the deck. I'm so jealous of that gorgeous bucket! I've been looking for one like it, but no luck so far. Thanks so much for hosting another fun MM. Hope your upcoming week is an awesome one! ~Mary

: Name: Mary; Location: O.C., California

Huntington Beach, California. I'm a Christian and happily married to the love of my life. I'm the proud foster mom of a beautiful teenage girl. I love sharing the beach and the simple, fun of boogie boarding with the children we foster. I never tire of watching the joy on their faces the first time they try it! That's why my home is called "Boogieboard Cottage". I love the simple, frugal and beachy life style. My favorite things are thrifting and collecting vintage treasures, cooking, crafting, and decorating.
