Make a Party in the Garden!

The trees are finally green, and the grass is growing - probably too fast! It means that it is the time of year to get outside and enjoy. First, you need to pretty up the Outdoor space and get some lovely accessories to sit down and visit with friends.

A simple way to spruce up the patio or front porch is with a few new planters. It is incredible how quickly adding a set of pretty annuals in distressed planters, wire plant stand or small flowers in colorful pots adds a splash of character.

Once you have the flowers and furniture set, you are ready to have a few friends over and enjoy the weather. Add a touch of elegance by putting your drinks out on a lovely drink tray. You can use a distressed folding tray to set out cocktail or iced tea. Even better is when you have a couple of drawers to stash napkins so they don't blow away.

After all that, just sit back and relax. Enjoy the wonderful weather, and company of good friends.
