“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”
1 John 4:15
As most of you know, in the warmer months, we find ourselves outside every chance we get! I have been eager to take Tablescape Tuesday back to the great outdoors, and finally it happened over the weekend. The skies were overcast, but hey, that made things a little cooler! I love an alfresco setting because the backrop of the outdoors makes tablescaping decor very minimal! So come outside and pull up a seat on our patio…underneath the pergola we had built last September! I still haven’t finished what I have planned for the patio, but I’m fine with that…like I said, it’s the scenery all around that helps us enjoy it as is!

I love pairing blue and white with different colors…apple green is a favorite!
A blue and white bowl of Granny Smith apples is an easy centerpiece that anyone can do!
I have a collection of blue and white vases and ginger jars…nothing too expensive, but great accessories to have on hand!
The blue and green swirl glasses are the perfect colors!
A white dinner plate, vintage Johnson Brothers “Willow” salad plate, and French-inspired dessert/snack plate from Sur la Table complete the dish stack!
Chevron patterned napkins add another pop of apple green!
Chinese snowball blooms filled a couple of mini-vases. I thought my snowball bushes survived the three mornings below freezing, but they didn’t. All the blooms turned brown from the frost!

Dolores
Hola Dolores, me encantaría que comieras con nosotros en nuestro pequeño jardín. ¡Te deseo un día maravilloso, amigo mío!
Hello Dolores, I would love for you to dine with us in our little garden. Wishing you a wonderful day, my friend!
Pam, I love your outdoor setting. I know you’re going to want to take full advantage of it while the temps are still tolerable. Your blue & green & white are perfect for spring to summer, so fresh, so cool. Sorry your hydrangeas got frosted – that’s always such a bummer after waiting so long….
Rita, thanks so much. We have realized this spring that so much in our area suffered severely from last year’s drought. Happy Tuesday!
The green apples look so pretty in the bowl . I love the blues and whites. You always make everything look so nice . I enjoy your tablescapes so much . Hugs and blessings , cindy
Cindy, thanks so much sweet friend! Hugs ~
How lovely and your fabulous view certainly adds to the sense of refinement and welcome.
Thanks Ginene, have a wonderful week!
The blue and white is so pretty with the apple green emerging in your garden as well as on your table! I know you’ve been itching to use your pergola Pam, I know you will be enjoying a lot of al fresco dining in this incredible spot!
Jenna
Jenna, I hope to finish the things I want to do on the patio, but we love it even if I don’t get to it right away. My sweet grand-baby can’t wait! ?
Your view from the table is so pretty! Our grass is finally beginning to turn green. Until the green totally fills in, I’ll avoid tablescape pictures outdoors. We can enjoy it as a family, though! The weather is perfect right now, so now is THE time! Soon, the heat will be kicked up, sending us inside again. (Summer is nice from an air conditioned house, I say.) I love the blue and white with green accents. It’s one of my favorites, too. Happy al fresco dining! 🙂
Kim, thanks and yes, it gets so hot that the summer months end up keeping us house-bound!
Love it as usual. ♥️
Thanks so much…have a great week!
I love visiting. The blue/white is lovely.
I always love visits and thanks so much!
I want to wake up one day and be sitting on your patio. Doesn’t make any difference if we eat or not, just be with you and Butch on your patio. Happy Spring Pam
Alice, we would welcome you with open arms and we would definitely eat!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous…I feel as if I would be sitting at the table at a wonderful botanic garden or a magnificent garden at a winery….love those swirled glasses! Are they new? Would love to know where you got them! Have a great day!
Thanks Shirley. The glasses came from Tuesday Morning several years ago, and I have broken two of them!
It’s fun to be outdoors again! In fact, it is hard to stay inside. That’s a shame the freeze got your snowball.
I like your table. It is so fresh and inviting. I’d like to sit there for hours talking and enjoy your garden!
Bonnie, it would be a wonderful day to have you come and sit under the pergola and talk!
Another beautiful tablescape in a beautiful setting!
Thanks so much Pat! How was your Europe trip?
Very pretty and I love those blue and green swirl glasses! Ice tea in one of those would be refreshing!
Thank you Julia, and the glasses,are perfect for ice tea!
Oh Pam, this is just stunning. I do love outside! (It’ll be awhile before we join you, here in Michigan!) I love blue so very much and that green of the apples just sets it off perfectly. Absolutely lovely.
Jeanie, you are so sweet! It will get too hot here to enjoy outdoors before summer even begins!
Your green and blue tablescape is so fresh. It’s amazing to me how blue willow just goes with everything. Also the view of your backyard from your patio is gorgeous. I would eat every meal out there.
Thanks so much, we really love our little spot for eating! Happy Weekend!
I am SO anxious for the warm weather and dining outdoors!! I have no blue at all and enjoy seeing it in tables capes – especially with those crisp green apples!! Beautiful!
Thanks so much for your visit! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Here in Houston there is such a short window for eating outside, and I do take advantage of any opportunity to get closer to bird sounds and blooming things. That being said our outside surroundings are not nearly so lovely as yours.
Linda, when we bought our acreage so many years ago, it was all pasture land, We still have projects we hope to complete!
Beautiful table with the back drop of your garden. Such fresh clean lines, loved it.

What a wonderful background your garden is for your beautifully set table. Such a lovely setting for a meal. Your table looks beautiful… I love the blue and white and other things also.
Thanks so much for your sweet sentiments…have a joy-filled week!
Your garden is coming to life very nicely. What a lovely place to have a table setting. Loved it this week! But don’t I always. Thank you for coming to TADA! thursdays again.
Thanks Debbie for your sweet comments!
Hi, Pam
I love your tablescape and the backyard is a beautiful backdrop. Thank you for sharing at Dishing it and Digging it link party. We love having you.
Thanks so much for the party!
You certainly have a beautiful backdrop for this gorgeous table. I love the preppy combo of blue/white/green, it’s very refreshing. Thank you for sharing with us at Celebrate Your Story, and I hope you’re having a great weekend.
Hanks so much Sandra…have a wonderful weekend!
