To market, to market, to buy a good dinner,
Thoughts of a menu to help us get thinner.
Though it's still very warm here in Texas,
as evenings begin to cool with pleasant breezes
we can once again enjoy alfresco dining on the terrace.
My little wooden pig with his cart full of veggies
inspired the theme for this summer table.
inspired the theme for this summer table.
I pulled in a linen scarf that features veggies
to use as a table topper over a green tablecloth.
These little rectangular plates
are the perfect size for a small meal.
Hand painted by local artists, they
add a bit more whimsy to the vegetable theme.
I layered them atop pewter chargers and
colorful plates and linens to compliment
the bright colors of the garden theme.
Mustard Yellow with Aubergine
Aubergine with Fern Green
Flying pig candlesticks
to offer a bit more whimsy.
Dinner is a salad of crispy greens
with orange and yellow peppers,
red onions, and zesty radishes
Along with a steamed salmon steak
To complete this healthy,
colorful, and tasty meal.
colorful, and tasty meal.
Served with a glass of
Chateau St. Michelle Chardonnay
Perfection for a late summer meal.

I love your whimsical table, Sarah! I'll bet Earl wished he was dining there!! The cart is adorable, and so are the flying pig candleholders and those pretty rectangular plates. I love the piggy pitcher, too. What fun! Your meal looks tasty and healthy.

Dear Sarah,
thats a fun table and an eyecandy, too. Love the pigs everywhere and the colorful veggetables. Really lovely.
Best greetings, Johanna
Sarah, this is just the cutest and most fun table I've seen in some time. I am amazed that you found so many little piggies to carry out the theme. The outdoor setting is so very pretty! -------- Shannon
Sarah~ I love your To Market table! I ADORE your colorful scarf topper and festive pig plates! So fun and colorful...Hurray for alfresco dining! It's been stormy and humid here for a week~ not favorable conditions for enjoying an outdoor meal but I'm hopeful we'll be able to do it again sooner rather than later, or before pigs fly :)
Sarah, I adore that last photo. Such a relaxing feeling! The linen scarf that features veggies is great as a topper. I bought an April Cornell scarf for $1.00 at a house sale, and have used it as a topper. I love it!
The pigs are a nice touch.
I love this fun whimisical tablescape! and the setting is so beautiful! Who knew pigs could be so cute?
The late evening is so pretty Sarah..Love the tablecloth and plates..I have that cutlery and am fond of it:)

Your table is too cute! Lynne must be eating her heart out. Over your little piggies!
Sara, this table is just so fun! Almost makes a low-cal meal more appealing (of course, your low cal meal looks delicious). Since I live in Razorback country, I love all of your pig treasures. Nobody could look at those candlesticks and not smile. Love your little rectangular plates too. You have the best "stuff". Have a great weekend. laurie
