9. Burlap table runners - the perfect rustic fabric
(Style Me Pretty)

(Martha Stewart)
5. Food on Sticks - That's probably my time in Japan speaking. Nothing says summer like food on sticks!

2. Grilled Corn on the Cob - I love this stuff! The sugars in the corn get all caramelized and totally delicious.
