“Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands…
Isaiah 49:16a
Happy Wednesday dear friends! I am a day late posting Tablescape Tuesday, it seems that there are more things to do than there is time these days. Last Saturday it reached 97 degrees with stiff winds all afternoon. I had planned a table in the garden, but the winds were going to be an issue. I moved to our little picnic area that is more protected and very shaded. With autumn on my mind and the summer heat bearing down, this tablesetting became slightly summer and slightly fall.
My thoughts and prayers continue for all who are experiencing the heart wrenching effects of Florence.

We are enjoying this little picnic area away from the garden. We just had a large pine tree removed and are considering making a small shaded garden. This area borders a densely wooded area where our large deer population likes to hang out. If we do decide on a small garden, we will have to use deer-resistant plants for sure.
My zinnias are still blooming, so they are definitely the summer on the table with a little lantana mixed in!
Rust-colored napkins and candles are the fall elements.
Candles nestled in coffee beans add an earthy fragrance!
Bottles make an easy centerpiece especially when placed in a box.
The dinner plates are a blush shade with a gold rim and along with the gold flatware and crystal stemware add a touch of elegance to the rustic table.
I added a few pine cones for texture.
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
Proverbs 25:11
The sun dappled table makes for a pretty early evening setting!

Dear Pam, what a beautiful table you have prepared for this “autumn-summer” that you tell us there is for those lands. Here we do not rise more than 27 degrees Celsius (about 80 degrees Fahrenheit), so it’s fine weather.
The color describes very well the situation of the moment. It’s autumn but you give it an autumnal pink tone that is very beautiful.
Always your presentations are very good, the details very successful, I love them …

Dolores, gracias querido amigo. Mañana es el primer día de otoño, pero nuestras temperaturas aún serán extremadamente cálidas. Para el final de la próxima semana, se supone que se enfriará. ¡Que tengas un hermoso amigo de fin de semana!
Your table makes a perfect foundation for this beautiful tablescape. I love this serene and simple table that is perfect for this time of year. The plates and stems add lots of elegance. Perfect ending for a late summer day.
Thank you sweet friend. Have a wonderful first day of fall tomorrow!
Pam… what a romantic table setting. I LOVE zinnias. When I went to camp, my cabin’s name was Zinnia and I’ve loved them ever since. Your photography, as always is gorgeous. Have you ever thought of doing a post on how to take a good photo? Have a wonderful week and thanks for the eye candy.
Thank you Katie. You are so kind about my photography. I am really a novice and don’t know much about it at all. Happy first day of fall tomorrow!
Such a pretty table, Pam. One could linger well into the evening, making memories. So love the dappled light.
Hope you will see cooler weather soon, we are slowly going to fall.
Thank you dear Sandra!
Quiet beauty in your lovely garden!
Thank you Carole!
Can’t imagine how it must feel to sit out and enjoy the your beautiful garden! Yes, warm here, but the mornings are getting cooler. Beautiful table as always Pam!!
Thank you dearest Shirley!
I really do love the color and simplicity of the zinnia arrangement. It’s just the right size, so cheerful and easy to do. I love the box the vases sit in, too. It pulls it all together. I confess I’ve done multiple vase things but the box is what makes it and I need to find something similar for the future. I love blogging.
By the way, saw another lovely pic of yours in the new Southern Lady! They must LOVE you — they should do a feature on your gardens!
Thank you sweet Jeanie. I found that box at TJ Maxx for $6.99.
Love your casually elegant table the blends the seasons Pam! I’m beyond ready for some fall temps and lower humidity! We had an extremely couple of blustery days even after Florence passed through, blowing a tree down and into the lake behind our property. Look forward to seeing you Friday ♥
Thank you Mary…happy weekend!
This looks so beautiful and inviting. Your gardens are amazing and this table is stunning
Thank you Marty!
Love the zinnias in the bottles. The rust colored candles add the perfect touch of fall.
Thank you Penny!
What a lovely spot! Yes, please turn down the temps! I love that you left the wood table bare, it’s the perfect outdoor look with the crate full of simple stems in various pretty bottles, just beautiful Pam~
Jenna
Thank you Jenna xo
Pretty tablescape. I’m viewing on my phone since I am out of town. I look forward seeing it on my laptop where it is larger. Zinnias are charming in your box in your serene setting.
Thank you Bonnie, enjoy your trip!
Pam, what a beautiful spot to create a gorgeous tablescape and enjoy a meal! I can see this becoming a favorite spot to enjoy autumn’s glory. The colors of the zinnias mix so beautifully with the elements of fall upon your table. Everything looks so pretty, sweet friend!
Thank you sweet friend. Have a wonderful weekend!
Just beautiful dear Pam. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you dear Cindy, hope you feel better!
So pretty! I am going to try the coffebeans with candles, what a yummy idea! ????
Thank you Sue, it really gives off a nice scent!
What a beautiful pairing of colors and elements for your late summer/early fall table. Love the soft blue dishes and how they look on the wood surface. The zinnnias are so cheerful. I’m so glad I planted some this year. 97 deg. is pretty hot for September! Our temps are cooler up here now and it’s definitely beeping like fall. It was a pretty dry summer and I’ve noticed some trees are already turning. I hope the fall colors won’t come on too early!
Meant to say “blush” dishes and *feeling like fall. ?
This is so beautiful, you make the best outdoor tables ! I loove that box centerpiece, it’s perfect for a Summer/Fall tablescape.
The flowers and soft blue plates are gorgeous dear friend.
Fabby
Your box centerpiece with zinnias is really inspiring…How lovely!Hugs!
Thank you Maristella!
Very pretty!
The centerpiece is such a great idea!
Love it!

Thank you sweet friend!
Zinnias and lantana are so dependably pretty and shrug off heat and humidity. They make the perfect combination for your table. I like the simplicity of it and the elegant twist you gave it with the plates and glassware. I’m sure you enjoyed your summer’s eve dinner — oops! fall dinner 😉
Thank you dear Sandra. I am anxious for cooler weather!
Beautiful Pam! 😀
Jennifer
Thank you Jennifer!
It’s really a pretty table Pam. I love the scent of the coffee beans surrounding a candle. We did that for some of the décor for our youngest daughters wedding. Zinnias are such a happy flower! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
I always enjoy your fun party!
Oh, these colors! They are just so amazing! I especially love the ones where the sun’s rays are bouncing off the scenes. You do such a wonderful job. No matter how hard things are, I always find comfort and peace when I come here to visit you. Thank you for all you do. You are such a blessing to me, sweet friend.
Thank you Cheryl. You are a special blessing!
Beautiful table, Pam! I am feeling the “slightly summer-slightly fall” vibe around here as well. It was so hot last week but it finally cooled down yesterday. Now I am in the mood to decorate! Have a great week!
Shelley
Thank you Shelley! Happy Autumn~
Hi, I’m coming from Amaze Me Monday—and I know what you mean—straddling two seasons…my Zinnias are just in full bloom now? Lovely table-setting!
Thanks so much, zinnias are such a happy flower!
What an inviting outdoor dining table! The table itself is wonderful, the centerpiece is fabulous, and I love the simplicity of the white plates.
Thank you so much Pattie!
