Bring the outdoors to your table!

We love eating outdoors, on a sidewalk cafe, by the beach or in the backyard. Even if you are not quite the entertainer and have limited supplies on hand to decorate your table, take a few minutes to just look at what is around you. Even the simplest elements added to your tabletop can turn into unique conversation starters. Use what you already have around you, throw it on the table and see what happens: rocks, funky glass jars, pine cones or leaves, small potted plants, tin coffee cans with flowers from your garden.

The worst thing you can do is repeat the same mistake twice!
