10 Favorite Tablescapes

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

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

Hello sweet friends and welcome to a special edition of Tablescape Tuesday!  Before Everyday Living got up and running in 2014, I was familiar with Between Naps On The Porch.  Susan’s beautiful tablescapes were always making their way to my Pinterest boards.  I knew she was the real deal in the blogging world before I even knew anything about it! Being the extremely creative and talented blogger that she is, you will find everything from travel to fashion to products that she has discovered and so much more when you visit Between Naps On The Porch! Now that I have been blogging for a while and connected with her through her link parties, I have learned that she is also very kind and generous…she genuinely cares about her readers. This week she is reaching a milestone and it’s a big one! It will be her 500th Tablescape Thursday! In honor of the celebration, she suggested that we share our 10 most favorite tablescapes for the occasion and I am thrilled to do so!  As I looked back over the 191 tables that I have shared, many were attached to memories…some involved the making of a memory…there were lots of special occasions…and some were just for fun! It wasn’t easy to pick just ten favorites, but I finally narrowed it down!  You won’t find them in any specific order, I just hope you enjoy looking back with me today as we dip into the archives!  Be sure to visit Susan on Thursday…I am sure there will be lots of gorgeous tables!

 Whether gracing a table or a room, blue and white will always be one of my favorites. This table was set in the garden as the limelight hydrangeas were in full bloom.

Tablescape Tuesday: Azalea & Snowball Blooms

 “Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings,”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭17:8‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends!  I can’t believe how quickly the days seem to pass, we just had Tablescape Tuesday and here we are again.  Today I want to share an easy and simple table, using only what I had available.  Every table setting doesn’t have to be elaborate to be pretty.  You can set a lovely table for your family with very few elements and minimal time. Come on in for azalea and snowball blooms!

  Pride of Mobile Azaleas and Chinese Snowballs were in full bloom when I cut these stems.  But after a weekend of heavy rain, gusty winds, and a low temperature of 35 yesterday, they are now looking a little spent!  As I am writing this, I just received a notification on my phone that we have a frost advisory for Tuesday AM.  I never remember frost this late in NE AL!

Tablescape Tuesday: Espresso & Biscotti

 “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:1

Happy Tuesday dear friends!  Lately, it seems that we are always talking about the weather.  Checking my Instagram feed over the past few days, I see snow in different parts of the country.  We were most fortunate Saturday morning to escape frost with the temperatures hovering near freezing !  I am sure when it is ninety-five degrees and ninety percent humidity, I will be wishing for cold weather.

With my Lady Banks Roses still in bloom, I set up a little table under the arbor and enjoyed some “me time”!  If you missed last week’s Floral Friday, Under The Rose Arbor, you can check it out here.  Espresso and biscotti, anyone??
