Lemonade on the Porch

Come and sit down on the porch...
it's time to cool down with some lemonade
and to chat about some
 Vintage Inspired Entertaining ideas....


We've used a vintage silver tray
that we just picked up from and Estate sale this month....
We prefer this silver tray @ $6
 to any plastic thing that comes from the store these days!
We've put these sliced lemons
in a little vintage sherbet glass

We've placed this adorable flow blue bone dish
 (that we got this spring at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market)
on the tray so that your guests will have something
to put their lemons on when they are finished with them


We've put a sweet little embroidered vintage tea towel
on the tray for color, but also to catch any drips that might occur....

A pretty cut glass vintage pitcher that we inherited into our collection
holds some delicious cold lemonade

Now it is time for a
History Lesson:

These....
these pretty glasses we found at an estate sale this spring as well
they are called "Oak Harbor Glass"

Oak Harbor
 is a town not far away that these glasses came from.

During the war
{not sure if it was I or II}
A gentleman set up the
Oak Harbor Glass Company

and taught women how to etch glass....
and that is where these glasses came from!

 **************
And now we come to the
Entertaining Tip:


Last year on vacation we picked these pretty hankies up


Take assorted colors of pretty hankies
and tie them around your glasses

Bigger hankies for larger glasses
Smaller hankies for the petite glasses....

Isn't this the cutest??
Not only will the hankies help the glasses from sweating
but
they will help your guests know
 which glass is theirs!


We LOVE this...
and have been dying all week to show you all!!

Sip some Lemonade with us as we visit
Debra from Common Ground
for some fantastic vintage inspired ideas for
Vintage Inspiration Friday!
