“Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.”
Psalms 147:1
Hello dear readers! I have finally recovered from our 17+ hours and almost 1,000 mile drive from Fredericksburg, TX to “sweet home Alabama.” We had reservations to stop and spend the night, but we decided to keep trucking. I love vacations, but I can’t wait to get back home. I will be posting about our road trip on Thursday.
You all know how much I love color, so today’s tablescape sings of bright happy colors…yellow, red, and blue! The heat and humidity have returned, so I know you are thankful to view from your air-conditioned space.
It was so much fun to set up this colorful table. My inspiration was this tablecloth that has been in my linen closet for a long time…
…I simply pulled colors from the cloth for salad plates, glassware, and napkins!
A simple bouquet was cut from my garden…
…zinnias and the last of my sunflowers!
Everyday white dinner plates hold salad plates that were purchased at TJ Maxx many years ago. I love their blue flower in the center and the vivid yellow rim of the Paula Deen plates. Bright red napkins are held with lemon napkin rings.
Cobalt blue glassware completes each place setting!
A cobalt blue vase and votive candle holders hold center stage on the table.
Do you see my Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangeas turning pink?
“We might think we are nurturing our garden, but of course it’s our garden really nurturing us.”

Thank you so much for your visits and gracious comments. My heart was so warmed when some of you saw Roxanne’s comment on Sunday’s post asking me to pray for her sister, and a couple of you replied that you would be praying. I feel like my readers are a family and I treasure each one of you. Wishing you a joy-filled day!

Thank you so much dearest Nancy! Wishing you a lovely day!
Good morning, Pam. I do love cobalt blue and with it you have created such a lovely and happy table setting, in your gorgeous garden.
I admire you for surviving so many hours in a car on your Texas trip. Glad you are home safely and I am sure you are as well. Will be anxious to hear about your trip.
Wishing you a beautiful day and week, sweet friend. ❤
Thank you Sandra. Butch hates flying these days, he has done it so much of his career. However, driving on crowded interstates gets the best of me. Wishing you a lovely day.
You have such a wonderful sense of color coordination, Pam so beautiful and cheerful!
I can almost feel the clean fresh air of your beautiful garden just by looking at the photos ☘️✨
Thank you Ellie, you are so sweet. Blessings~
Pam,
Instead of walking around the flower department at the grocery store in a fog trying to decide which flowers to choose, I’m going to take a photo of my tablecloth and coordinate!
Thank you for that great idea and for all your inspirations!
That is a great idea Sharon, thank you!
Such a bright and cheerful setting. I love it and your gardens are amazing.
Thanks so much Marty.
Pam, your table is gorgeous and made me smile this morning with its happy colors. The pop of blue and your fresh cut flowers are perfect. As always, your stunning garden makes a wonderful backdrop. Enjoy your day, sweet friend!
It is so good to have you back sweet friend and thank you!
Beautiful table! Looking forward to hearing about your trip to Texas! We love a road trip!
Thank you Linda. Part 1 is coming Thursday!
Another beautiful tablescape Pam for us to enjoy! Thank you! I love the primary colors used throughout as they remind me of a gorgeous rainbow after a rain. Hope Roxanne’s sister is recovering well & we will pray for both of them during this challenging time. Have a great day! Clara💕🌻
Thank you sweet Clara. Roxanne’s sister was able to go home today. You can read her comment and more details on this post.
So pretty. Love all the views of your garden. I pinned a few of your photos to my “Outdoor Spaces” board for inspiration!
Thank you Stacy. Wishing you a wonderful week!
Another beautiful table in your stunning garden. I love the gardening nurturing quote. So true.Your strawberry hydrangeas are so pretty. I want one!
Yes, bloggers are a family. I join the others in praying for Roxanne’s sister.
Glad you enjoyed your trip. We made that trip four times from August to May!
Have a great week. We are at the beach with family. I lost my comment on Sunday. Great post. Our laptops would not work until Monday! After writing a long comment on my phone and losing it, there was so much to do getting settled I couldn’t rewrite it but I enjoyed the post.
Thank you Bonnie! Roxanne commented on this post that her sister got to go home today, quite amazing. God is good! Have a wonderful week at the beach!
What a color-pick-me-up !! You have the gift…..Those strawberry hydrangeas are beautiful… now I have to shop for one….
Our prayers surrounding Roxanne’s Sister are a given…hopefully we will hear that she is well on the road to complete recovery… God’s answers are always filled with love and wisdom and best for all concerned. So happy to have you and Butch safely home. Have a blessed week, dear one.
Thank you dear Mary. I think my table exploded in color🥰. Read Roxanne’s comment on this post. Her sister went home from the hospital today. 🙏🏻
Praises be to Him… Continued prayer for Kelley’s successful surgery and complete recovery and peace for all the Family.
Amen, thank you Mary!
Oh, those blue glasses are beautiful. They happen to be my favorite color.
Marion
Thank you Marion. I am glad you like the glasses!
What a lovely tablescape. The table cloth is gorgeous.
Marilyn
Thank you Marilyn. It is an oldie, but goodie!
Dearest Pam and the Everyday Living family, from the bottoms of our hearts, my sister Kelley and I both thank you for your prayers. Yesterday she had a 103 temperature and an infection not under control. Today she was discharged from the hospital. God heard your prayers! Once the infection has cleared, she will have surgery in a few weeks. Although I have never met any of you, all of you are such dear women and hold a special place in my heart. Thank you.
Roxanne, we are so grateful for this good report about Kelley! God always hears our prayers and we can trust Him for His perfect will. We may have never met, but we are sisters in Christ.
Cheerful table,dear Pam! Beautiful flowers ! Blessings!
Thank you sweet Maristella!
Pam, love the burst of color in this table setting. The blue glasses go perfectly, such a striking color makes them stand out among all the other colors.
Thank you Rachelle! I do love color.
Lovely table. Love the vibrant pretty colors. Oh girl, you are the woman! I would have to split my time up traveling back. But it takes us forty forever’s to get anywhere it seems because I am one of those that wants to stop quite often. But most often, coming home, I am ready for HOME! No place like home. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you sweet Cindy! I was so tired on the way home, I just wanted to get here ASAP! Hugs and blessings always!
Love your table inspiration. The tablecloth is so fun and colorful. Cobalt blue is a stunning color, and you managed it beautifully. The fresh picked flowers look wonderful in the blue vase.
So happy to her Roxanne’s sister was discharged. All of those prayers were answered.
Thanks so much Linda! Yes, prayers answered!
I always enjoy having a seat at a table in your garden Pam! Love the colorful tablecloth with your sunflowers and zinnias!
Beautiful table! Can’t wait to see your trip pictures. Flying makes me physically sick (I know, it’s a crazy fear) and traffic really gets to me these days, so I’m not much of a traveler. Home makes me happy, but I do love traveling with others through pictures.
Thanks so much Beverly. I agree that the interstate traffic with the 18 wheelers gets to me. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
That tablecloth is SO pretty! So wonderful to visit with you, sweet friend. Many blessings to you!
Thank you Cheryl!
Your table is bright and bold — just the thing for August! The setting of course is gorgeous!
Thank you so much Sandra!
So pretty and happy Pam!! I LOVE the garden nurturing quote! It must be wonderful to have such beautiful blooms right at your finger tips for arrangements!
Jenna
Thank you Jenna!
Wow…that’s a long drive! Your table is so beautiful with those flowers and bright colors. Thanks for linking up to Best of the Weekend! You were one of my features this week. I will be pinning and adding to IG stories this weekend. Thanks again for joining us and have a great weekend!
Shelley
Thank you Shelley and thanks for the feature!
Blue and yellow get me every time! Those dishes are very much like ones in Monet’s kitchen in Giverny!
Thank you Jeanie. Monet’s kitchen must be dreamy!
What a beautiful table and gorgeous setting! When see things like this I really missing having a usable backyard.
Thanks so much Pattie for your visit!
