Summer's End - Black & Pink Rose Tablescape

With the kids back in school, Labor Day and then the football season starting next week, it seems to me that Summer has ended. Oh we will get a few more hot days but the nights will cool down so that we can sleep with the windows open. With all of this in mind, I decided to put together a table to honor Summer's end.

I had actually purchased these plates several years ago at Hobby Lobby. They were marked $9.99 each but on clearance, I only paid $1.99 for them.

Then, when my friend Linda was visiting a few weeks ago, we stopped into World Market and I found these napkins in the clearance section. 

Perfect, yes?

Pale pink wine and water stems from Goodwill have been seen on some of my tables before.

Dollar Tree candlesticks and thrifted vase with the perfect color of flowers make up the centerpiece.

Several Ikea rose votives help to light up the otherwise dark table.

My silverplated Rogers flatware really pops off the black tablecloth.

So, one last shot of some bright color before everything switches to Fall's orange and brown. Are you ready to say good-bye to summer yet?
