SIMPLE SUMMER TABLE CENTERPIECE
08/21/2023
I put this simple table centerpiece together this weekend with things from around the house to satisfy my desire to decorate something in the months between 4th of July and Halloween. While they kind of look like I purchased them as a set, all these pieces were collected at different times from different places. Table decor doesn’t have to be elaborate. It can be as simple as a tray to hold items used at mealtime like the basket of napkins, a woven utensil holder, salt and pepper shakers and a vase of flowers picked from the yard.

You know I had to make a Chiefs sweatshirt, too. This is a nice lightweight sweatshirt that is longer in the back and perfect to wear...

Now that we can use the new back patio, I spend every evening right in this spot. Unfortunately, the mosquitos like to, as well. I recently found this battery base to allow me to bring my favorite disco ball diffuser outside with no cord required. I’m able to diffuse mosquito repellent scents that I enjoy and the mosquitoes hate. Three of my favorite things all together – summer, back patio and disco balls. What more could I ask for? My favorite mosquito repellent blend to diffuse is citronella, peppermint and lemongrass (lemon works, too).
