Found these great bandanas in the men’s department at Wal-Mart.  All cotton and great size for summer picnics.  Bought the blue and white too so you will be seeing them some more this summer!

Recycled a couple of sake bottles for candle holders. Just the right color blue to go with my little flags!

Started out in the side yard under the arbor because the weather has been so hot but the table wasn’t large enough and I do miss the bayou view!  Maybe next time….
