Garda Lake from Costabella
I'm terrible late, but today just run away and in a wink it was evening!
This morning I did housekeeping..wow that's fun!! (I'm kidding of course)
This afternoon me and my two dear friends Simoo and Monica went up on Mount Baldo,
trying to reach Telegrafo from Valfredda for the second time in 4 days.
(usually we walk up from Vallone Osanna that is some 6km in 1000mt in
height difference, but we wanted to try
from Valfredda less height difference, but a longer walk)
nothing to do! it is sunny down here, temp 23°C perfect!
up there the wind was cold, but that is not a problem,
the air was brisk, but that is not a problem
there where nobody around, and that is absolutely not a problem
it was very very foggy..and that is a big problem!
grrrrrrrrrr!!
we have to try hay again, probably saturday.
Tomorrow I have 10kg of apricots to transform in jam! :))
Shoppingbags on the table? why not!
this is not my idea, I found it in a book of mine.
"Fun tablescaping"
in the book the used white paper bags from "PRADA" and "GUCCI"
but me not having such luxury bags, used one I found at home.
anyway this brown paper bag, didn't look too bad with my white and light yellow
Lonicera and tender apricot coloured Sally Holmes rose! :)))
I admit it wasn't very practical, having a paper bag under the plate
I did cut what I could from the boarders, but not too much,
as the bag was white inside and had white edges.
(that's probably why they used white bags in the first place. silly me!! :))))
but I just adore the bag handle twisted around the napkin!
brown simply pots for my lush centerpiece
napkins inheritance from Grandmother Reneè, my hubby's beloved Grandmother.
I love them!

Gorgeous absolutely gorgeous. I love the flowers!
ReplyDeleteReally cute table! I made apricot jam a couple years ago, even made a salsa with the bit of left-over jam. So good, one of my favorites (love that you don't have to peel them)-have fun!
ReplyDeleteFirst, the pictures are fabulous. Second, what a clever idea for a table. I really like the shopping bags and putting the napkin in the handle -- brilliant-- and you could always turn them sideways under each plate. I always hang on to shopping bags and I have a new idea for them!!! Thank for posting this.
ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteHi Brii...What a fun idea, this is! I love how the handle is holding the napkin...so clever! Unfortunately, I don't have any of those "fancy named" bags either. I don't think Macys, Trader Joes, Walmart or Publix would quite be the same. (LOL) I do love this idea. Imagine a whole table done with Tiffany bags! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, you asked about the Blue Hour...here's a link to a post about it:
