Spring (or is it summer now?!) has arrived in full force and the flowers and trees seemingly bloomed overnight. Mother’s Day and Lucy’s birthday have come (seriously, where does the time go?!) and gone and Father’s Day isn’t far away. With warmer weather and outdoor entertaining in mind, here are a few ideas from Shop Iowa, a one-stop e-commerce site that allows you to shop local from all over the state directly from your own home or mobile phone! If you happen to be near the store you’re shopping from, you can even select local pickup!
I have outdoor entertaining on the brain and am itching to update our backyard patio as evenings warm up and we spend more time outdoors than in. Here are a few things that caught my eye for our patio, entry way, and maybe a thing or two for Father’s Day! How fun would this large Jenga set be for your yard?!
- Seagrass Bamboo Vase | Whether your setting the table for Father’s Day or just enjoying a breezy evening on your patio, this vase is the perfect addition to show off your latest blooms.
-
Hyacinth Tray | This tray will help round up all your entertaining and serving needs for your outdoor entertaining this summer (think napkins, a citronella candle, a cup full of utensils to easily grab from)!
-
Garden Markers | This past year more and more people took up gardening. These garden markers are perfect to help you identify your plants and herbs.
-
Wood Cutting Board | I couldn’t talk about outdoor hosting without making a plug for a charcuterie board. This gorgeous board would be the perfect display to test out your skills crafting the perfect meat and cheese tray!
-
Daisy Flower Stake Vase Holder | If you don’t have a lot of patio real estate to put your potted plants, this is a fun take on how to show off flowers this summer, and maybe protect them from any small critters!
