Enjoyed sharing DIY Summer entertaining ideas on

KING 5 Seattle with the lovely Amanda Grace! 

Here’s the easy-breezy  How To.

The Summer Essentials:

Set a simple seaside tablescape by layering fun fabrics. I started with

a raw linen tablecloth and added an Ikat-like fabric topper. The edges are 

left unfinished! Add netting for a summery nautical vibe.

For the summer centerpiece  go with little R & R, repurposing and reusing.

Recycle your pantry tins! I used tea tins and potted up some cool succulents.

Succulents won’t wilt in the summer heat and will last for months!

Next, grab a tray because well…

everything looks better on a tray! Break out the bubble glass and a candle.

Nestle the candle in crafts store sand. Add shells and sea fans to finish the look.

For the easy summer menu, try this mouthwatering duo.

* Watermelon, feta and mint skewers with a quick lemon vinaigrette. SO 

easy & refreshing! 

* Peach caprese skewers with fresh mozzarella and basil.
