I’m sailing into Labor Day Weekend with a little nautical fun and a table for two on the dock.
Labor Day marks the end of summer and a last hurrah for weekend boaters until Memorial Day next year.
We look forward to quieter and less crowded weekends. . .
Just us and the ducks :)
I set sail with nautical flatware, acrylic boat glasses and melamine anchor plates for a table for two.
A nautical insulated picnic tote made her maiden voyage, here.
If you need a little boating-inspired food fun, help yourself to Deviled Egg Boats~ Bacon, Basil & Tomato Deviled Eggs, sails optional :)
And enamel boat dishes are ideal weighing anchor with Lemon Basil Shrimp Salad, a recipe from Southern Living’s collection of Quick & Delicious Summer Salads.

What a beautiful tablescape you have created on your boat dock! It’s absolutely wonderful, I love every colorful and bright detail! I’m thinking that salad is one I must try! It’s a scrumptious looking salad and those deviled eggs look delicious!
Happy Sailing!

Definitely the best part of Labor Day weekend is the end of tourist season and crazy boaters! Your table for 2 is just delightful! Love all the anchors and red white and blue! We are in the 90s with 95% humidity today waiting for the sea breezes to come up~ Happy Labor day Mary!
Mary,
Happy Labor Day weekend!! I’ve missed your postings as my computer has been down and I finally got it fixed. Your salad and deviled eggs look delicious!! Enjoy sailing away from all of this madness.

I have always loved your red, white and blue themes and especially when you use the enameled boats!
Have tried finding them but no one seems to have them!
Everything is so pretty! It must be so much fun to eat a meal with you! :-) I’ll be trying that deviled egg recipe. Have a great weekend!

I love your table setting. I’m going to try the Pumpkin-Chocolate Cake sounds good. Happy Labor Day
The flatware is too cool Mary! Have a great weekend-enjoy:@)
Happy Labor Day weekend, Mary! I would be mesmerized just watching the ducks, and enjoying your nautical-themed meal.
Mary, it looks like your water level has come up some! We’re at full pool…when we drove up this morning, we couldn’t believe how high the lake is but we shouldn’t have been that surprised considering all the rain we had last weekend and early this week.

I love everything you do Mary!! This is just so perfect for the end of summer holiday!! The recipes look fantastic and of course I’ve got to try a couple this weekend. Thanks for all the details and inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend!
Smooth sailing and happy Labor Day Weekend to you too. Wish we were spending it lakeside as you do. Such a beautiful setting, Mary. Enjoy!
Your nautical table is ship shape!
PS ~ if you decide to get some of the plastic flatware go directly to the source madhousecollection.com. Other sites offer it, but at double the price.
Mary, I am going to use pretty chargers on my table tomorrow night. When we sit down for the meal….are you suppose to remove the chargers?
Hi Carolyn, no leave them like you would a placemat :)
Ok….will do! Thank you!
I would love to be on that dock for a meal and one of your meals is always perfection. So is the table! I never would have guessed the paltes were melamine, they are great!!! I am sure you are looking forward to just you and the ducks;):)
Love the nautical tables cape! It is just perfect.
Mary, Mary, Mary ~ you never cease to amaze me. This table is so charming and I can’t wait to try your recipes!
Big Texas Hugs,
