“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”
2 Corinthians 9:6
We are two weeks away from the official start of summer, and wow…we are already feeling the heat! Thankfully, this past weekend, we did get that much needed rain…and we, along with our garden are so thankful! Even Tablescape Tuesday needed a break from those temps! I guess you could say weekend showers bring indoor tablescapes!
We’ve been on hydrangea overload lately with last Tuesday’s tablescape and a coffee table vignette yesterday, and yes, it continues today! While they are plentiful, I plan to enjoy the color and beauty they bring to the table! Pull up a seat and have dinner with us!
Once again the hydrangeas are the showstopper, but notice there are some pink ones that have appeared!

My hydrangeas that are planted in my front yard are deep purple to a medium blue color.
The centerpiece consists of three square vases of hydrangeas and a pair of sterling candle stands that I received as a wedding gift (a long time ago)!

Pink napkins add to the pink hydrangeas…napkin rings are hand painted mini terracotta pots…a favorite of mine!
*
I love a table setting that is placed directly onto the warm wood of the table…no cloth or placemats!
*

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver”
Proverbs 25:11

After the table is cleared, I can enjoy the hydrangeas for several days, perhaps a week!

Gorgeous! I agree. You should always enjoy the hydrangeas while they’re blooming since they don’t last all summer long. Your table is so pretty and inviting. Your napkin ring pots are so fun! It adds a bit of whimsy to your elegant table. I love that. Happy Tuesday, friend!
Kim, thanks so much for faithfully reading! I appreciate it, my friend.
Pam, your hydrangeas are awesome, and I’d be showcasing them like that too! Love those little napkin rings, and I also like a bare wood table. I was just working up a tablescape on mine yesterday. The rain this past weekend was a welcomed relief for me too – watering the annuals to get & keep them established has been a chore. I always enjoy your tablescapes. Happy Tuesday!
Yes, Rita we were in desperate need of the rain! Will be looking for your new Tablescape. Happy Tuesday!
Pam, everything is so beautiful! I love your tablescape and I do love the beautiful hydrangeas. The blue and white dishes always steel my heart. Happy Day. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Beautiful table setting as always. My hydrangeas are plentiful this year. Love the blue since it is my favorite color.
Thanks so much, Marianne, everyone seems to be enjoying hydrangeas that are blooming this year! Blessings and hugs, Pam
Just beautiful Pam! It’s killing me to be at the beach when I know I have a garden full of hydrangea blooms in Bham, teasing me to play with them! I love dining room tables without a cloth, the wood is such a stunning statement with your pink and blue profusion of blooms and tableware.
Jenna
Jenna, what a predicament…the beach or hydrangeas!!! Now that would be a hard choice! Thanks so much, I am certainly enjoying the hydrangeas this year! Happy Tuesday!
Gorgeous! I could never see enough of those gorgeous flowers. The table is beautiful and everything looks so perfect together.
Thanks so much, Valerie. I am so glad my hydrangeas are blooming this year! Blessings~
magnificent table !!, hydrangeas are spectacular, the intense blue and pink make a very beautiful set.
Sorry that some post not have discussed, we have had a busy week. The day June 15 will again operate my husband throat.
Always we trust God.
A big hug
Dolores
Dolores, me encanta saber de usted … usted es un dulce amiga a la que nunca he conocido. Me siento tener que leer de la próxima cirugía de garganta de su marido, ¿esto es debido a su cáncer? Butch y yo estaremos orando por él y para ti, la paz de Dios! Por favor, compartir más detalles conmigo si es posible. Bendiciones, Pam
Dolores, I love hearing from you…you are a sweet friend whom I have never met. I am sorry to read of your husband’s upcoming throat surgery, is this due to his cancer? Butch and I will be praying for him and for you, peace from God! Please share more details with me if you can. Blessings, Pam
Querida Pam, Antonio tiene algo sospechoso en lo que le queda de cuerdas vocales que le operaron hará un año en Agosto. El doctor tiene que comprobar que esa variación que ha surgido en la garganta no sea cáncer, así que le tienen que operar de nuevo, quitarlo y analizarlo.
Yo soy persona positiva que pienso siempre en positivo porque siento que Dios me ayuda, que está ahí, nunca me ha fallado.
Gracias por tu interés, iré diciendo que tal van las cosas. De momento antes de operarse estaremos toda la familia junta porque celebraremos el cumpleaños de Antonio y de mi hija mayor, Almudena. Antonio nació el día 13 de junio y Almundena el dia 12.
Dolores
Dear Pam, Antonio has something suspicious about what’s left vocal cord surgery he will be a year in August. The doctor has to check that this variation that has arisen in the throat is not cancer, so you have to operate again to remove it and analyze it.
I am a positive person who always think positive because I feel that God helps me, it’s there, it has never failed.
Thanks for your interest, go saying such things go. Moment before surgery will be the whole family together for celebrating the birthday of Antonio and my eldest daughter, Almudena. Antonio was born on June 13th and the 12th Almundena.
Hugs
Dolores
I see the weather has chased you indoors, not because of rain, but because of the heat. Did you catch my Fourth of July tablescape? We will most certainly be dining inside on the 4th, if it isn’t because of the storms it will be because of the heat down here in central Florida! The table is lovely! I miss hydrangea so much and am anxious to get up North and enjoy the last of the Spring blooms! Thanks so much for joining us at the Celebrate Your Story Link party!
Chloe, thanks so much for your sweet comments. I can’t imagine the heat and humidity in central Florida! Maybe, you have nicer winters than we do? Blessings~
Your table is beautiful with all your hydrangeas. I never tire of hydrangeas. Your colors are so pretty and isn’t it fun they change colors. The rain was wonderful to keep them hydrated.
I did six arrangements this morning for different rooms for a luncheon. Wish I had blooming flowers all the time. I am soo glad we have blooms this year.
Good photography to capture the vivid colors.
Bonnie, my lace cap hydrangeas are also beautiful this year! I hope you will blog about your luncheon and hopefully I will see those six arrangements! Have a beautiful evening!
The hydrangea centerpieces are spectacular! They are one of my favorite flowers, so pretty! We’ve had a lot of rain, too! It’s amazing how I can water and water my flowers, and along come the rains, and they perk right up like no other! 🙂 ~Rhonda
Thanks so much, sweet Rhonda! I hope we get more rain, my garden needs it! Happy Thursday!
So gorgeous Pam….I am so happy that many of us are enjoying the hydrangeas this year…We seem to have the same colors in the hydrangeas..Gorgeous table as always. Love that you did not cover up that gorgeous wood of the table.
Shirley, thanks so much. I think everyone is having their hydrangeas show off this year! Happy Thursday!
What a beautiful table. Love the crystal and flowers on the wood surface- just gorgeous! Those little painted pot napkin holders are so cute!
Thanks so much, Liz! We were in much need of the rain, and this weekend promises mid nineties! Blessings!
Gorgeous with all those hydrangeas. This is a beautiful table!
Thanks so much, Sarah! The hydrangeas are having a good season! Blessings~
So pretty and inviting – would love to dine at this table!
Thanks, Lori! The hydrangeas are having a good year!
Wow Pam, the Hydrangeas certainly are the star of the show! Your entire table is beautiful, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of them. 🙂 The napkin rings are so cute too. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Thanks, Jann! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Your table is breathtaking! Enjoy your weekend!
Katie, thanks so much…the hydrangeas have been beautiful this year! Blessings~
Such a beautiful table, the china, flowers, it all complements each other.
Thanks so much, Carol for you kind words!
How beautiful!
I have never grown hydrangeas.
I need to do some research.
Thank you for being at Thoughts of Home!
Laura, they are pretty easy to grow! Happy Thursday!
Beautiful…table and flowers. sheila
Thanks, Sheila! Have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful table with gorgeous colors! Those flowers are gorgeous!
Shelley
Thanks, Shelley! I have been thrilled that my hydrangeas have bloomed this year!
Stunning flowers and I love how the colors bring out the details on the table. I would love for you to link this post or any other summer related post at my Party at My Place linkup on Thursday for my summer theme. Party is still open til Tuesday morning to get details. From Pierced Pastimes linkup.
Love those colorful flowers more than life itself! I’ve tried to grow them, but not much success. Yours are so lovely, as are the blue and white place setting.
My hydrangeas have been so pretty this year, there were no blooms last year! Happy Tuesday!
Spending the afternoon browsing at these lovely blogs at Katherine Corner and found a bunch of ideas for my next project. love you tablescape.
Maria
Maria, thanks. Oh the ideas found in the blogging world! Happy Tuesday!
You are feeling the heat and the last few mornings, we’ve have the fireplace going. I’m not complaining! No matter how/where hydrangeas are used, they add such stand alone beauty.
Linda, it was 97 degrees yesterday which is more normal for July and August. Once it gets past 90, I am not fond of being outdoors!
Your tablescape is absolutely stunning!!! Your house is gorgeous, and I love all the color. I’m new to the blogging world and just ran across your wonderful blog. I can’t wait to read more.
Shannon, welcome to the blogging world. I still count myself as being new. Two years ago this August I began. If you have any questions that I could answer, I would love to share with you what I have learned! Thanks for visiting…please come back! Blessings
Thank you so much for welcoming me. I’m very excited to be starting this new journey.
Oh wow the hydrangeas are gorgeous with Blue Willow. I might have to photograph that!
Thanks so much, Sherry!
