I am having trouble leaving summer this year. Perhaps because it is still 90+ degrees outside or just that I'm not ready for all the Holiday rush! I set a table in my breakfast nook to celebrate the last of summer.
This table was inspired by these cute fish glasses bought at the World's Longest Yard Sale. I had to show them off before they went to the cupboard for the winter.
The Pink Fiesta Dishes I found at a resale shop for cheap were perfect for this table
I used a white placemat ($1 ea at the dollar store)
Pink Fiesta Plate and a Turquoise berry bowl also Fiesta
The little fish butter knives were a fun touch
My summer blooms are gone...but I found a few Pink stragglers
to add to this vase with a pathos vine
I like how some are almost dried..adds some texture
This milk glass pitcher is perfect for morning juice
Nice large Fiesta coffee mugs
The white handled silverware was a recent Goodwill find
Milk glass creamer and sugar
Yes Summer is over and time to move on, but one more cup of coffee please!
I am joining in these fun parties!!

That was a nice little last fling with summer, Linda!
Beautiful! Love those vintage glasses. I have always wanted to do the "Longest Garage Sale". I'm afraid I'd have to rent a uHaul though! :)~Ames
Oops! I meant "Longest Yard Sale". Pay no attention to me...I'm dyslexic :)!Ames
Very nice finds, Linda. Your "what-not" shop would definitely be a winnder! Susan
I love it! Your fish glasses are just too cute and they match the Fiesta perfectly-enjoy!
What a pretty breakfast table...love those fish glasses...perfect with the Fiestaware.
The only flower I could find blooming in my yard was sedum, everything else dried up!
I remember back in the sixties my parents built a home and the kitchen was pink and turquoise just like your dishes. They even painted the fridge turquiose! I have a milk glass pitcher just like the one you have that we inherited from my mother-in-law. I love old things.
Love your table setting!
Summer is over for us, it's rainy and cool.
But your pictures warms me up and coffee sound good too!
Hi Linda,
I'm glad that you are holding onto the last bit of summer and your lovely table setting brings the sunshine! Love the fiesta dishes!
It won't be long until we are all planning our Christmas decor and showing it off. You know how we are here in blogland...always ready for a party!
hugs

no!! it says it's going to be 94 tomorrow, that can't be right! love that milkglass, girl!
I'd want to come to your place for breakfast!
Love those fish glasses.

So beautiful soft colors for this pretty tablescape!
Linda, what a lovely table setting this is. I LOVE it!!! Of course, you know I'm drooling over the pink plates, but I'm loving the aqua as well. What a fabulous color combination!! And I LOVE the milk glass.
And, of course, you know I'm having a hard time letting summer go as well. In fact, I'm hanging on tightly by refusing to decorate for fall until at least mid-October.
Hope you're having a lovely day.
Hugs,
Patti
Love the little milk glass pitcher!
I am soooo ready to leave summer. We can trade houses if you want so you can have the heat for another month or so!
As always, very inviting. I love the pink fiesta and the fish glasses!
hugs,

Love those dishes!
I wanted to go to that sale, but didn't make it!
Thank you so much for linking to 2nd Time Around!
Linda-I'm glad we have met, too! And I thank you for all your great help and for always visiting me....

I am NOT ready to say adios to summer just yet! While fall is pleasant, summertime is free and easy and just right for flipflops. I dread trying to cram my hippie toes back into shoes! Your summer table setting is so cheerful!

Don't you just love fiestaware? And milk glass? And that pretty flower arrangement? And those adorable fish glasses!
Love your table setting. The colors are awesome. I'm not wanting to let summer go either. Although I sometimes complain about the heat, I'm a summer person.Have a good summer extension! Annette
Great tablescape! Goodbye summer, hello autumn! -Your newest follower
Hi Linda! Love the table setting..the color combinations, etc! So pretty! We're still having very summery temperatures here, too. It was 90 degrees yesterday, (the 20th), and today was really hot, too. I didn't hear what the high was. I am SO ready for fall and cooler temps, as I've been saying for quite a while already!!
Thank you so much for voting for my photo! I have those same pink dishes at my lake house, I got one each of eight different colors then I painted each chair the same color as my plates. I love Fiesta wear and it has always been a favorite to me! I am so glad that it is almost fall,eventhough it was 95 here today! I dream of snow and coats and fires in the fireplace.
I am loving the pink and blue! I had some pink and blue I did not get to do this summer:-( Love those glasses too. Thanks for stopping by! The spiders and bugs also get to come in with all my outdoor leaves and twigs! !
I am so jealous that you did the longest yard sale! It is still 90 degrees here in Florida also, it is so hard to get into the fall mood! Thank you for stopping by

You found fish knives to go with your glasses! You really have the touch.
Wish we could keep summer around a bit longer too. The acorns are pileing up at the end of my driveway ..washed there from last nights rain.. Your table is so pretty that it certainly wouldn't hurt to have one more cup of coffee
Linda, I love this table! Those fishy glasses are wonderful, and the pink Fiesta, well frankly I'm jealous of your pink Fiesta!
I know what you mean about still holding on to summer. I'm loving the cooler temps, but I know what comes after the cooler weather. Icky, snowy sleety weather. Yuck!
I'm with ya baby, hangin' on to every last strand of warm sunshine I can get. You table setting is just amazing! My mom had a very eclectic set of Fiesta Ware your brought back memories of my childhood. Beautiful ones of course!
God bless ya and have a marvelous day!!!
Hi Linda....too cute...those glasses are adorable and only you would find little fish knives to match..Hopefully this ridiculous hot weather will be gone when we both get back from out trips....see you soon.
Hi Linda...even though I've already commented on this post, I'm back today just to say...Hello! Because it's Comment Like Crazy Wednesday!! :)
Linda,
It is SAD, but I'm soooo looking forward to cooler days!!! Good looking tablescape and thanks for sharing it with all of us at NTT!
Blessings,
Linda
No, no and no! I am not yet convinced summer is over! Love your tablescape! The glasses and knives are great! I am especially loving your Turquoise Fiesta!
~ Tracy
Oh it's not that hard Linda...think of the cool crisp air, some pretty Fall table scapes, cider, pie, cinnamon, you getting there yet? You do have a pretty table though today, love the colors...they are very retro!
It is sooo yucky hot today, those fish glasses took me back to the beach for a fleeting moment, I swear I could almost feel the ocean breeze:) So thank you, and how nice to think about cold juice in a pretty fiesta cup!
what a cute table setting. i have never seen glasses with fish. rose
Wait Linda! Don't go packing away that pink Fiesta to deeply! February isn't that far off and that means Valentines Day! Love that hobnail creamer and sugar and the pitcher! Very cute breakfast setting!
Love the colors pastels are so appropriate for summer events, weddings, anniversarys.

Oh Linda! You just get better with each post! I am so jealous! HeeHee! Actually, I think you are so super talented putting all these cool things together. You have such a cool knack for this!
I bought some Halloween burlap placemats that say "Ghouls Night Out", they are so sweet!
