Tablescape Tuesday: Lovely Limelights

“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday sweet friends! I am so happy you are here for a new tablescape in the garden. It is definitely too hot to dine alfresco with temps in the nineties and high humidities. Not to be defeated, I waited until around 7 p.m. and set up this tablescape to share with you. After all, I love setting a table in the garden especially while the lovely limelight hydrangeas are in bloom.

  There are three limelight bushes at the back of my garden set between sunshine ligustrums for an explosion of greens and creamy white.READ MORE

Tablescape Tuesday: Dressed In Simplicity

 “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:13‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday lovely friends! I hope your week is off to a good start. Our humidity is down a little which makes being outside more enjoyable, especially since I need to weed in the garden. As a reminder, I will be hosting Gardens Galore next Monday, July 16. 

I love Tablescaping in the garden when there is so much in bloom. Please pull up a chair and pour yourself a glass of iced tea and join me for a table dressed in simplicity!

  If you love simplicity, then this table is for you.

Tablescape Tuesday: Vintage and Repurposed

 “And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday sweet friends! I am getting prepared to celebrate our nation’s birthday tomorrow and I sure hope you have your plans finalized!

As we find time, we are accomplishing some inside projects that have been on the to-do-list forever. Last Friday as I was cleaning out before starting on our current project, I discovered something that brought back a few memories. Late 70’s or early 80’s our master bedroom was painted in the now very popular blush color. I used a Waverly floral fabric as the primary fabric and mixed it with plaids, stripes, and a mini print. The room was very pretty with balloon curtains, bedding, and a canopy bed. Yes, The Renaissance Man slept underneath a canopy with floral fabric and never once complained. Let’s just say it was my Mario Buatta room. For some unknown reason, I kept one of the sheets and discarded all the bedding, pillows, and curtains. I was about to throw it away when I suddenly had an idea, I can repurpose the sheet as a tablecloth.  With God’s creation as a backdrop, I love setting a table in the garden!
