Thursday ~ Mellow Yellow

I'm in a yellow mood this morning. Not usually one of my favorite colors, yet something about the gorgeous morning that made me think of yellow. Hummm, I don't think I have made any yellow aprons. I can already see visions of bumble bees on bright yellow aprons.

This Thankful Thursday I am so thankful for my much needed rest lastnight. My kids are with my mother and then they go off to summer camp. I'm on my own for a few days. Last night I went to bed at 8:30pm. It was raining and the lightning was spectacular. It was the perfect weather to cuddle up in bed for an early night's rest.

For Tablescape Thursday I found bright yellow tableware. I love the yellow set of cups and especially the pitcher. They are from Macy's and will make the the perfect summer treat. It reminds me of the 1970's yellow kitchen ware that was so common. When I was a kid, we used to have a yellow set of containers for sugar, cookies, etc. I wish we could have kept some of them.
