Tablescape Tuesday: Blushing Hydrangeas

~ Food & Entertaining, Summer, Tablescape Tuesday

“Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday dear friends!  
I hope your week is off to a good start.  We enjoyed a few days of lower temps and humidity, but now they have returned.  As I observe the changing of the light, I know that my favorite season is on its way. The garden changes also tell me that autumn is on the horizon.  Hydrangeas start changing to their softer shades and the blush nandinas are beginning to turn.  Please pull up a chair at my garden table and join me for a new tablescape… one with blushing hydrangeas on the table and in the garden!

The changing colors of the hydrangeas were the inspiration for my tablescape!

Blue and white remains a favorite and it is always a classic!READ MORE

Happy Tuesday sweet friends!  I hope your week is off to a great start.   Be sure to check out the winners of the giveaway at the bottom of this post.  Thank you for your sweet and generous comments on our four year blogiversary.

As I was planning  for today, I realized that I had only set a table once on the patio this summer.  Pull up a chair and join me for a simply summer tablescape!

If there was inspiration,  it was that I wanted to use the blush tablecloth I found at TJ Maxx a couple of months ago. As you can see, it is a very simple Tablescape.

 Long before I started this blog I was setting tablescapes for family and friends. My Mother was my example of how to welcome people into my home and to my table. This was the Debut of Tablescape Tuesday!

Always remember, the most important part of your setting is the faces and laughter of those seated around your table…

  As an interior decorator, I have often been asked to do a variety of jobs, with event planning being a favorite. Over the past twenty years, the events have ranged from charity auctions to birthday parties to silver and golden anniversaries to small intimate weddings, to large wedding receptions held in beautiful venues– many being in the homes of my clients. This was the most important event I ever planned…the wedding of our son and daughter-in-love!READ MORE
