“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19
Hello dear friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and your week is off to a good start. We finally received some much needed rain even though it interrupted my tablescape schedule. My original plan was to set the table in the garden for photos on Saturday evening. Five minutes before I was going out, it started raining. I was so excited to see the rain, I was perfectly ok to miss taking pictures. Plan B was to set up on Sunday evening. After getting very dark with lots of wind, the rain started coming down in sheets. Plan C was one more try last evening. It was cloudy all afternoon and started sprinkling around 5:00. By 6:30 the clouds had cleared and there was no rain on the radar. Finally, the third time was a charm.
I found a really nice linen tablecloth at TJ Maxx last week. I doubled it to make it work on the round table. You may remember that I had misplaced my linen tablecloth. I am sure that it will now turn up since I bought one.
Godinger Dublin iced beverage goblets are from Neiman Marcus several years ago, but they are still available.
Blush dinner plates from Hobby Lobby and Johnson Bros “Rose Chintz” salad plates rest on quilted floral placemats.
Chaste tree blooms were cut and placed in laboratory beakers.
Everyday stainless by Reed & Barton…
…and crystal votives complete the table!
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
Proverbs 25:11
The hydrangea is my first bloom for the year. They are blooming three to four weeks late. I have several more that will be in full bloom in a couple of days, but not nearly as many blooms as last year. I guess it was our late frost.
Thank you for your visits and taking time to comment! Wishing you a joy-filled day!

Charm is right! At least the garden got watered!
It was desperate for rain instead of sprinkler!
We’ve dodged so many storms, I am always relieved when the rains do come in my garden, but I can certainly understand your decorating dilemma! Your tablescape is very pretty. The tablecloth looks vintage, I love that. Very feminine and pleasing, worth the patience for setting up in the garden, the perfect backdrop for the details.
Thank you Rita. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Hopefully, it was a little cooler after the rain to set up. The humidity has been so high here. Your table looks so pretty. I love your colors. The chaste tree blooms in beakers opposite your hydrangea blossom was a clever mix of proportion and color and texture. I like the way you slid the placemats over the edge adding another dimension to compliment your dishes and really caught my eye.
Have a great week.
Thank you Bonnie, humidity is off the chart here. Have a beautiful Tuesday.
So lovely Pam. Love the romantic plates. The flowers add so much beauty to your table in the garden. Rain must have been needed. Not fun when trying to set a table outdoors. Have a great week.
Thank you for visiting, Linda!
What a lovely vintage feeling with those placemats and plates, the flowers are a perfect compliment.
Thank you Carole!
Pam, so lovely. Love your tablecloth and the blush pinks to go along. I am especially fond of the Johnson Brothers Rose Chintz. It has tempted me for years, but clearly more china is the last thing I need. Your tables are always so gorgeous in your beautiful garden.
Happy you received rain. We have been promised rain today and we are also having high temps and humidity. Although, I am sure not quite like what you are seeing.
Have a wonderful day and week ~ stay cool!
Thank you sweet friend. Hopefully you get rain and a little cool down!
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you Marty!
Just lovely Pam, the rain was heavenly wasn’t it, our whole neighborhood is so green and lush! I love your new cloth and the beautiful quilted place mats, so soft and pretty with your plates and garden blooms!
Jenna
Thank you Jenna. It is looking like rain now, we will see!
So dainty and its my favorite. We came back from a trip yesterday afternoon and I walked around the yard looking at the new blooms. One hour later we had a down pour and hail that destroyed the bloons. Am so blessed to have a safe flight home especially after the hard landing we experienced, that a little hail is not a big issue. God Bless.
Hi Alice, did you go on vacation? I am so sorry the hail destroyed your blooms. Those hard landings are not fun. I am glad you are safe.
We visited our daughter in Olympia, Wa and our friends on Whidbey Island. I told my hubby I wanted to eat sea food every day. I did and it was wonderful. The views from our friends home overlooking Admiralty inlet was looking toward the west and the sun sets were wonderful. Who new nuclear subs came and went past their home. Yikes! Their gardens belong in a magazine.
Alice, that sounds like a heavenly trip! I would love to see photos of their gardens. The climate is great in the Northwest for gardening. Happy Friday
The table setting is pretty, worth the wait to set outdoors! I know you said in prior post that garden furniture was painted white. Is furniture cast iron or aluminum? I painted my cast aluminum w/o etching first and now the paint keeps peeling off? Tips??
Hi Nancy, thank you for your sweet comments. I have both iron and aluminum. I like aluminum because it
doesn’t rust. I don’t have any tips, my husband just spray paints it. The table and chairs in the garden are aluminum.
I feel as if I am in an English garden having tea!…So funny as I have just packed up my Rosebud Chintz!…very similar to your pattern….thanks for taking us along in your beautiful garden…and the third time was indeed the charm! … love your new linen tablecloth! Have a great day Pam!
Thank you Shirley. Thinking of you as you pack up all of your lovelies.❤️
The Rose Chintz China caught my eye first thing! The plates are so pretty. My grandmother has a very similar china pattern, and I always admire it. The third time was indeed a charm as your tablescape turned out just beautiful! I agree with Shirley…it does look like a setting in a gorgeous English garden. Happy Tuesday, sweet friend!
Thank you sweet friend!
What a wonderful tablescape!Everything is perfect,so romantic and delicate,really a favorite!!!Hugs!
Thank you my friend!
The third time was the charm and it is lovely.
Thank you Karen!
My goodness, what a beautiful post! I loved everything! And isn’t that always the way…as soon as you buy a lovely new tablecloth, it’s a sure thing the lost one will soon appear.
Thank you Sue for your visit. Wishing you a wonderful afternoon!
Thank you Sue for your visit. I am expecting the lost one to appear?
Oh Pam Your dinner plates of pink make me want to run out and purchase them. Pink is my favorite color.
Marilyn
Marilyn, I had priced pink dinner plates at several stores and these were half the price. I have really enjoyed them.
Pam your settings are once again gorgeous. Thank You for sharing.
Marion
Thank you so much Marion!
Great use of beakers, Pam! You surprised me when you said the blooms were from your chaste tree — I thought they were Buddleia davidii flowers. I’ve never seen chaste tree panicles in anything but white.
Hi Sandra. I have only seen the chaste in the purple blooms! I will have to look it up and do a little research.
The garden is the perfect setting for this beautiful table. I love the different patterns and all the details. The new tablecloth is a great find.
Amalia

Thank you Amalia❤️
Pam, this is such a lovely table! Set in your garden, I can only imagine what a joy it would be to gather for a meal here. I adore the pink plates…Hobby Lobby?! Who knew! If I didn’t already have an extra closet in my garage filled with stacks of entertaining dishes I’d be tempted, I love their shape.
Thank you for always inspiring us with beauty,msweet friend. xo Lidy
I couldn’t believe how great these plates were from Hobby Lobby. They no longer have them in my local store. Thank you sweet friend for your visit!
Just beautiful Pam. Yes, third time must have been a charm for you. And I am sure the rain made the air smell better and everything looks so much greener. Love the pretty dishes and the silverware is gorgeous.I love hydrangeas. Mine done better this year than they did last year. I just love your outside settings. Always so pretty and inviting. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you sweet Cindy!
Pam, I just love the pinks and a wonderful new linen tablecloth. Beautiful crystal pieces add elegance and romance to your table. Your first hydrangea is the star! Our weather patterns have certainly been unusual…so hot and humid in the mountains with temps in 90’s. Have a great day.
Thank you sweet friend.
Bonsoir….très joli post en effet ! Votre jardin est féerique avec beaucoup de charme. Cela fait du bien au yeux et au moral ! Tout est charmant, bravo !!!
Merci Catherine. C’est toujours une joie pour vous de visiter!
It’s all so beautiful and I love the quilted place mats. It calls for a pink sundress and floppy sunhat!
I have the floppy hat! ?
Just beautiful Pam! I can so relate to the trials and tribulations of setting a table outdoors…high winds and humidity, blazing sun, stormy weather and rain is not for the faint of heart when it comes to alfresco dining and tablescaping! I love your pretty chaste tree blooms in your beakers and hydrangea blooms. Our chaste tree we planted last spring has its first buds.
Thank you Mary and Happy Gardening!
This table in all the blush tones is a stunning forefront to your rained upon gardens!
Third time was a charm! Lovely!
Thank you Nancy!
Gorgeous!!! So pretty, such a soft palette of color. Your table compliments or garden or vice versa!! I am glad you were finally able to set this wonderful table despite of your weather. You mentioned much needed rain – here we are getting rain almost every day – we are kind of tired of it – but on the other hand – everyone’s garden and yard looks beautiful.
Hi Ann, thank you for visiting. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
This is a beautiful tablescape Pam! I love Rose Chintz and your new tablecloth is perfect! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Thank you Jann!❤️
What a beautiful set up. The plates compliment the rest of the feel of the table perfectly.
