“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!”
Psalms 95:6
Hello sweet friends! I hope the start of your week has been wonderful. We had beautiful weather over the weekend, so we worked in the garden…weeding and planting annuals in several pots. Today Butch will sow sunflower seeds…now that is exciting. Setting a simple garden table is perfect for a weekend dinner. With God’s creation surrounding us, there isn’t much need for table decor. You’re invited to join the two of us.
Apricot Drift Roses were once again the inspiration for a simple table!
The tablecloth with its colorful pattern offers so many choices for mixing dishware.
The table was placed in front of the roses with the pasture as the background!
I mixed Hobby Lobby blush dinner plates with Johnson Brothers “willow” salad plates and sweet French-inspired appetizer plates from Sur La Table.
With so many colors represented on the tablecloth, I had plenty of napkin choices.
I love mixing blue with the blush color!
A small Italian pitcher holds white iceberg and coral drift roses cut from the garden. Privet was cut from the pasture and added to the roses.
“A word fitly spoken
is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
Proverbs 25:11
The roses have such a sweet fragrance that was wafting through the air!
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave a comment. You truly make my day!

Just lovely. My favorites are the roses and the tablecloth. Where is the tablecloth from?
Hi Rhonda, thank you. Tablecloth was from TJ Max a few years ago.
Hi Rhonda, I saw a table cloth almost like this one on amazon few weeks later, you can search on amazon I hope you can find it.
Love the colours! Do you have a sheep for the pasture?
No sheep, cows, or horses. We have a farmer that we allow to come and cut the hay for his cattle! We now own 25 acres, so we could raise some cattle. No one raises sheep this far south.
Cut grass is good for compost too.
So fresh and pretty. I’ve missed reading your posts. All I could do was view Instagram very quickly. My phone won’t hold a charge and there has been spotty internet and time. Your scriptures were very much appreciated this morning.
Thank you Bonnie. I can’t wait to hear about your trip, safe travels!
Bonjour, Belle table et joli jardin : tout y est…Bonne journée !
Bonjour, thank you!
What a wonderful outdoor setting for your table. Love how the tablecloth is so vibrant with color. The roses are beautiful – the drift roses are such a pretty color. It’s great to get outside and do yard work. I’m finally able to enjoy that up here now. Wishing you a blessed upcoming Mother’s Day!
Thank you Liz. I know you are excited to finally be working outdoors. Happy Mother’s Day!
I can’t wait for my garden to fill out. Yours looks lovely. The tablecloth reminds me of Fiesta Ware. It’s a happy table this Tuesday !
Thanks Rita, can’t wait to see your garden!
What a beautiful al fresco table for a spring meal!
Thank you Carole!
What a pretty table and the surrounding setting looks so peacefull!
Thank you Penny for stopping in. Have a wonderful day!
Everything looks gorgeous, Pam! Your gardens always amaze me with their stunning beauty! Your roses are breathtaking! Enjoy your day, sweet friend!!!
Thank you and enjoy your day, sweet friend!
What a beautiful table setting and lovely, peaceful backdrop!
Thank you so much, Roxanne!
Simple it may be but your table has perfect energy in its lovely setting.
Thanks Linda!
Now THAT is a seriously happy tablecloth! I love the flexibility for dish and glassware colors. It all looks terrific, especially in your beautiful garden.
Thank you Jeanie, it is also waterproof!
It starts raining during lunch – “ Quick! Everyone get under the table!”
Cath, you are too funny!
If I was at your table you would have to hide the yellow pitcher as its so lovely it would be really tempting for me to bring it home with me.?
Alice, if you were at my table I would be so excited. You could definitely have the pitcher!?
Thanks!
How cheerful! Love the colors! The roses are stunning!Hugs,Pam!
Thank you Maristella! Have a great week!
Everything is just lovely and elegant.
Marilyn
Thank you dear Marilyn!
Those flowers are gorgeous. Thank You for sharing.
Marion
Thank you dearest Marion!
When I first saw this tablescape, I thought the flowers were in a pitcher filled with orange juice!!! I thought, “How incredibly fun!” Of course, after looking at subsequent pics I discovered I’d allowed my crazy imagination to run rogue! What a beautiful table, though! The tablecloth is such a wonderfully colorful backdrop to the carefully chosen patterns in the dishes, and quite obviously I love the “orange juice” pitcher! This is a great time of year to introduce lots of color and pattern that matches our lifted spirits in anticipation of Summer!
Hi Alycia, wow your imagination went wild! Thank you so much, I certainly hope you are recovering. You are amazing!
Your flower arrangement against the garden background and on the pretty tablecloth is so stunning Pam!! I have been trying not to buy those blush plates from HL, I love them!
Jenna
Thanks Jenna. I was excited to find the blush plates at HL. I had been looking at similar ones that were much more expensive.
Perfectly beautiful! We have lots and lots of drift roses and guess I should put them to good use. Love, love the pitcher, one of my favorite colors. Always a joy to stop by!
Thank you Lea for stopping by. You should bring your drift roses inside, mine smell wonderful!
Gorgeous Pam! I especially love your tables in your garden setting! Your ‘Apricot Drift’ Roses are dreamy! I just googled them and read that their low, spreading habit makes them perfect for small gardens which is ideal around my Potting Shed. I’ll have to see if the garden centers have any available. ♥
Mary, drift roses are a wonderful addition to a garden. I hope you can locate them!
Beautiful as always, Pam. I, like several others have mentioned, love the tablecloth! And I would love to dine outdoors in your lovely spaces. Your settings make the food, which you and I both love, almost inconsequential!
Thank you my dear friend. Love and hugs!
I think we all love the tablecloth..such beautiful, vibrant colors. This setting in your garden gives such a feeling of serenity and peace surrounded by such beauty.
Thank you dear friend!
Good morning, Pam. I am late with my post here. I have been in the garden – it is about to be peony time.
Anyway, your post is wonderful as always. And your tablecloth is such a happy cloth. You are correct in that it gives you many options for dishes. I do love the yellow napkins and the yellow pitcher. But let’s talk about the star of the show – those glorious roses. They are so lovely and sitting by them would be enjoying a little piece of heaven.
Enjoy these magical days and all the beauty you have created in your gorgeous garden !
I would love to walk in your garden to see the stunning peonies. Thank you sweet friend!
Pretty colors. I always love your outdoor table scapes. So fresh and inviting. :o)
Thank you so much!
Thanks, Pam, for this beautiful post!
Thank you Michele!
This is so colorful and inspiring!
Thank you Ann!
So pretty, Pam! Your gardens are so beautiful, and that pitcher of roses is just gorgeous!
Such a bright cheerful spot to enjoy after working hard in the yard.
Thank you dear Ann!
Love the yard and gardens. The plates are so beautiful. What is the name of the two glasses ?
Thank you Myrna. The glasses are Sweet Swirl by Noritake.
love your table and love the tablecloth…you are so talented….hugs
Thank you Kari!
