Sunday Lunch


I love Sunday lunch in the backyard with some good friends. Setting the table with fun summer linens, plates, silverware, wine glasses and with a nice bottle of wine or two...it is a totally wonderful experience. Eating off real dishes outside adds to the entire experience. And really, instead of throwing everything away...you run the dishwasher...big deal~!
One of the things that I like to add is an herb bouquet instead of doing flowers. This one is made from Basil and Chive that have gone to flower, with just a touch of Thyme. You can pick it from your own garden, if you have one, or just use what's left over from what you may have purchased. Honestly, it would be so inexpensive to just buy some herb bunches and make the bouquet. This one has been sitting on the patio for a week...still looks pretty good...even though my cell phone pic is a bit blurry...but then again sometimes so am I. The thyme is a bit dried...but it adds a bit of character. So easy, looks fabulous and smells wonderful too~!!
Try it & Enjoy~!!!
