“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 7:12
Hello dear readers! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. We grilled and made old fashioned hand-cranked ice cream which was a hit on a really hot afternoon. With Memorial Day being the unofficial start of summer and temps already in the 90’s, I dug into the archives to choose some of my favorite summer alfresco tablescapes. The links are provided so you can check out each original post.
On rare occasions Tablescape Tuesday might not happen on Tuesday, but on Wednesday, as the old saying goes “better late than never.” I love setting a table in this spot in the garden!
A table dressed in simplicity makes outdoor dining easy…flowers are cut crepe myrtle blooms!
Blue and white always makes for a pretty table especially on a summer night!
A fruit and flower runner was so easy to make!
I discovered a vintage sheet that had been put away and it made for a sweet tablecloth!
A colorful tablesetting nestled in the grasses!
A table on the patio that is simply summer!
Lovely limelights bloom in my garden and on this table!
Thank you for your visits and the comments that you graciously leave behind. Wishing you all a joy-filled day!

Good morning, Pam. Your tables are all so beautiful it is too difficult to select a favorite. Although, I am drawn to the blue and white and the one with the lovely vintage sheet for a tablecloth. But anything you put together in your gorgeous garden would be fabulous.
Have a lovely week – it is summer here also. Cut the last of the peonies yesterday.
Thank you dear Sandra. Enjoy the fragrance of your last peonies and have a most wonderful day!
Good Morning sweet friend! Your tablescapes are stunning! Each and every one of them! Every time I visit I know I will see exquisite displays of beautiful flowers, tablescapes and nature. I always have a cup of coffee in my hand and I scroll each picture with delight.
Thank you for all your hard work with each blog post! I will always be the President of your fan club!
Nancy, that is the sweetest comment, you are a blessing sweet lady!
☺️
Pam, Your garden tablescapes are all so inviting! They are so colorful with beautiful table linens, stunning stemware & dishes. The center pieces are gorgeous as well. Thank you for sharing these inspirational summer settings. Homemade ice cream sounds perfect with this heat! Have a great week! Clara ?
Thank you dear Clara. Stay cool on these hot days!
All so gracious and welcoming…. you have not skipped a beat in creating tablescapes that have
major appeal, but with a simplicity that says, “Sit down and enjoy….” Your holiday weekend sounds so enjoyable, especially the homemade ice cream. My choice was a frosted mug of
old fashioned root beer soda… what memories…..
Thank you Mary. I will be looking for cool drinks all week with our very hot temps. Your root beer soda sounds perfect. I might have to make some fresh lemonade???
This is all stunning. Your garden, your tablescapes, just everything. Especially liked the vintage sheet you turned into a tablecloth. So cute.
Thank you so much Vicky. Have a beautiful day!
Oh Dear Pam! You are giving me way more ideas for alfresco dining that my husband wants me to have! LOL! Love all the tablescapes. I can’t pick a fav. I love dining outside when weather permits. Yesterday was hot but I did have a little shade and I meant we were dining outside! Ha! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you Cindy. I am glad you were able to eat outdoors!
I could not say which table I like the most, I think all of them!
It predominates the blue color that is always beautiful, but it has also made a composition in warm colors that is very beautiful. The cups of various colors are fantastic … I love them.
The joy of spring is felt in this varied display of how to dress a garden table.
My wish is that you enjoy it with a lot of peace and joy.
Dolores
Querido amigo, siempre me encantan tus visitas. Gracias por sus amables y generosos comentarios, siempre me hacen sonreír. Nuestro clima se ha puesto realmente caluroso, ¡no es tan agradable comer al aire libre! Te estoy enviando abrazos!
The low stripe of flowers down the center of the table cranked my tractor this time! You always come up with something new.
Thank you, I am glad I cranked your tractor?
These are all so beautiful, I never tire of visiting your beautiful garden full of fabulous flowers! One of my long time favorites is the one where you brought your dining room chairs out, and I love the low flower runner too, they are all simply stunning!
Jenna
Thank you Jenna! Those dining room chairs are so heavy. (lol)
ha ha, yes, a sign of a dedicated tablescaper!
Pam, I always love your dining alfresco in your beautiful garden! I know you are anxiously awaiting the limelights to burst into bloom (like me)! Your Fruit N’ Flowers table is one of my favorites! It would be a perfect theme for MMBs! I can’t believe after our wet spring and fall I’m wishing for rain, but it has been unseasonably hot here for two weeks with temps in the 90s…things are starting to get crispy. I can’t keep up with this watering schedule so early in the gardening season! Stay cool. ♥
Thank you dear Mary. We are also in need of rain with the second week of 90+ degree weather. I am watering daily and I agree it is so early in the season for this.❤️
Cannot imagine how wonderful dining alfresco is in your beautiful gardens that you and your Renaissance Man have so lovingly created. Beautiful tables Pam!! Have a great week! Stay cool!
I am staying cool and thank you Shirley!
I just finished my lunch Pam, and your gorgeous eye candy is my dessert. Just as sweet but no calories. Enjoy your week.
Thank you Katie. No WW points used either!
I am so glad I”m not forced to pick a favorite table Pam,. for I simply couldn’t. Each is so beautiful and so reflect your lovely gardens!
Thank you Jeanie!
These are all absolutely beautiful! I love how you took your cues from the table cloth and married all the colors together perfectly!
What an absolutely beautiful place to sit as well!
Thanks for sharing.
How inspiring your blog is…They are all gorgeous but the table with the vintage sheet cloth caught my eye!Hugs!
Thank you dear Maristella!
What beauty you create!! A girl after my own heart. You are very gifted. The open fruit is so clever and so inviting to dine. I can imagine a Dutch painter painting that tables cape. What a bounty.
Your comments are so kind and gracious Ruthie. Enjoy your day!
Pam, your tables are always so beautiful! Thanks for linking up to Best of the Weekend. You were one of my features! Enjoy your weekend!
Shelley
Thank you Shelley, have a wonderful weekend!
Pam, my favorite are all of them! Gorgeous settings! So beautifully done!
All of your table settings are gorgeous, Pam!!! I love seeing your statues in the background and your gardens. Getting a bit of garden envy… No, not really! 🙂 I am gathering ideas, though. 😀 Pinned several, of course. <3
Just coming over from another of your posts,
Barb 🙂
You are so gracious dear Barb. Thank you for visiting and pinning!
