Hi, everyone!
How much entertaining have you done this summer? I know, I know…it’s only been “summer” for a few days, but I’ve been making the most of the gorgeous weather. And, surely you’ll be doing some entertaining when July 4 rolls around….NEXT WEEK! Where does the time go? Anyway…I’ve got some fun, functional, entertaining ideas that you can try at your next get-together and there’s really nothing to it. You might even have most of the supplies on hand.
First thing’s first: drinks. In the summertime, the colder the better. Why not trade your cooler for something a little more fun?
Okay, you’ve got the drinks chilled. (If you're loving the blue trunk organizer you can find it on QVC.com!) Now let’s talk about the tabletop. How do you really incorporate the look and feel of summer onto your table? Answer: beach buckets…complete with the shovel!
The easiest way to decorate is to use things that remind you of the season. Blow up beach balls and scatter them around the yard. Drape brightly colored beach towels on your yard chairs. Scatter seashells—and maybe a fishing net across the center of the table. You can also take paper plates—the foundation of every summer picnic and fold them into bowls just like you see in the photo. I made those for our Pool Party episode on You’re Home with Jill that you can still watch on QVC.com. You can watch EVERY episode from the season, too!
I’ll blog with you again next Tuesday—then every Tuesday throughout the summer. In the meantime, you should start thinking about your July 4 party menu…check out my recipes on QVC.com!
From my home to yours,
—Jill
