“You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.”
Psalms 119:114
Happy Tuesday sweet friends! Before we get started today, let’s announce our winner for the $75 Amazon gift card from last week’s Tea and Roses Blog Hop…Congratulations to Jessica Whitehouse! Thank you all for entering and I hope you all enjoyed our Blog Hop!
I hope your Memorial Day Weekend was fun-filled and rain-free. With rain forecasted for yesterday, we moved our observance to Sunday afternoon which proved to be the right call. It appears that Alberto will be bringing rain for the entire week to our Appalachian Foothills.
With summer fast approaching and thoughts of meals on the patio and in the garden, I want to share four of my favorite alfresco tablescapes. I hope you will be inspired to set a pretty table, prepare a meal, invite friends and enjoy the beautiful outdoors!

I can see why you chose each of those, Pam, and it would hard for me to choose any one as my very favorite. Your setting and each tablescape brings such beauty and style. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Rita!
Such beauty!All of them are gorgeous,but the tablescape with sunflowers and the pretty patchwork tablecloth caught my eye,just adorable!Hugs!
Thank you my friend! Hugs!
I think you have the best tablecloths ever! I love every single one and how they look with your fabulous settings!
Thank you dearest Jeanie!
All are just gorgeous. However, the beautiful coral in the first setting, along with the tasty watermelon won me over. But anything you put together in your wonderful garden would be perfect.
Wishes for a lovely week, hope the storm will not bring too much rain.
Thank you Sandra. Looks like we will get rain for the next six or seven days from Alberto.
Each picture is more beautiful than the previous. That huge magnolia blossom is swoon worthy!
Alberto has been deadly here, one of our local news anchors and his cameraman were killed by a falling tree near Tyron, NC. So sad, they were both so young. Life is so precious and fleeting. Everyone, please stay safe.
Oh no, I hadn’t heard that. So tragic!! Stay safe Roxanne!
They are all so beautiful Pam! I am looking forward to setting lots of outdoor tables this summer! I’m sorry you are bearing the brunt of Alberto, we certainly got lucky in Orange Beach…
Thank you Jenna, I am so glad Orange Beach was spared. We needed rain, but not days of it!
Congrats to the winner and Summer in your gardens are beyond beautiful!!! Love those tables Pam! Hope you get a little sunshine this week!
Thank you Shirley!
Pam, they are all gorgeous! I don’t think I could choose a favorite, but I really love the magnolia tablescape! I can’t wait for your garden link parties! How exciting! I hope our flowers do well. We went from winter to summer with little rain. It is supposed to be in the triple digits this week. I guess I’ll just keep watering as much as possible, and pray for rain! Enjoy your day, sweet friend!!!
Thank you dear Shannon, We are getting several days of rain from Alberto if the forecast is correct. We needed rain, but 4 or 5 days might be too much!
Every single TableScape is swoon worthy! I do love the sunflowers with the quilt tablecloth! ??
I enjoy your posts so much. Inspiration for my dining room table is underway!?? Thank You!
Thank you Nancy, I can’t wait to see your dining room table ?
My honey first has to remove his antiquing treasures from our trip across the nation.

Love all of them! They’re so cheery and inviting. Any one of these table settings would make my guests feel so special. Thanks for the great ideas.
Blessings,
Elizabeth
Thank you dearest Elizabeth!
I sure hope I don’t have to vote for any one of these tablescapes!
The paisley one is beautiful, and I adore the patchwork one for its simplicity but I also like the white formal setting.
The magnolias are gorgeous – i can almost smell them! Have I ever mentioned that I love sunflowers?
I love them all.
Thank you for making my heart sing!
Sweet friend, you make my heart sing! Thank you!
Lovely and elegant as usual.
Marilyn
Thank you so much, Marilyn!
Those glasses are beautiful. I love the tablecloth.
Marion
Thank you Marion! They are some of my favorites!
I would enjoy being at any one of those tables enjoying camaraderie with friends. Porch or patio dining isn’t likely to happen here until late fall as it’s gotten hot, hot, hot. In a couple of weeks though we’ll be enjoying more opportunity to be outside.
I would love for you all to join us!
They are all beautiful. Your dark dining chairs outside are stunning.
Thank you Katie!
I love the tablescapes. Everyone speaks a story to me. I love the sunflower on the table too. So sweet. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you Cindy, hugs!
I wish I was a neighbor so that I could enjoy those beautiful settings in person…each so creative. 😀
Thank you Karen ?
Pam, Your beautiful alfresco tables are my favorites! A peek at your garden and flowers in the background is always a treat! ♥
Thank you Mary, I will be having more rain today!☔️☔️☔️
Wow they are scenes I can only dream of. I couldn’t choose a favourite – it would depend on my mood. Wonderful inspiration xx
Thanks so much for visiting!
Now, I couldn’t have even try to choose a fav… love them all !

Fabby
Thank you my friend!
All beautiful! What a great idea to revisit these lovely tables!
Thank you dear friend, have a wonderful weekend!
Pam, each of these are alfresco dining at its best. I want to fly in and be a guest at each one.
I would love for you to fly in❤️
These are all beautiful tablescapes! What fun times. Eating outside is just special, isn’t it?
Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!
