Fun Tableware! Invite Some Ants To Your Picnic!

A summer dinner is even more fun with some fantastic dinnerware or accessories like this red gingham and ant earthenware serving platter.  Piled high with hot dogs or sandwiches, it will add a lot of summertime fun to your picnic table. 

This 16 inch by 11 inch oval platter features a red and white gingham pattern and a hand-painted ant design. A round serving platter is also available.

Boston Warehouse also features this checked pattern in a three-piece serving bowl set, a condiment set, a plate set and they even have an ant-shaped salt and pepper shaker.

These red and white dishes are a lot of fun, positively brilliant for summer entertaining. I would be serving my best-ever glazed baked ham on the platter and my best-ever Hawaiian potato salad in one of the serving bowls.  Naturally, you can use the pieces however you wish.

I was thrilled to see more additions to the ant collection this year on Amazon. Don't forget that Amazon offers FREE shipping on orders worth $25 or more.

Whatever you choose to serve on these pieces, they are sure to inspire a smile. The Boston Warehouse collection would be a top-rated gift choice for anyone who loves entertaining in the summer or for anyone who loves and collects ants!

Red and White Gingham Tablecloth

There's nothing that says summertime to me more than a red and white gingham tablecloth and I know from experience that they are not always the easiest tablecloths to come by.  I was, therefore, very pleased to find this one on Amazon. It is perfect for my summer dinners.

This tablecloth features the classic red-and-white checks that you are looking for and will set the scene perfectly for any casual country dinners and backyard picnics that you are planning. I guess it would be fun, too, for a western, cowboy or farm-themed party.

It is made of a 100 percent cotton, machine washable fabric and is a rectangular-shaped cloth, which measures 60 inches by 84 inches.  If you would like to assemble a complete set, matching napkins are available, too.

Jessie Moris, an Amazon customer reviewer, says that this tablecloth is "the perfect tablecloth for tailgating and parties. Good quality. Good weight. Washes VERY well. Fantastic." Amazon customer reviews are a great way to judge the quality of products you are considering buying online.

Amazon has this DII tablecloth nicely discounted at 30 percent off. PLUS Amazon offers free shipping on orders of $25 or more so, this tablecloth and the napkins, together would ship for FREE. 

Definitely a great way to set the scene for your summertime gatherings!
