Tablescape Tuesday: The Colors Of Summer

~ Food & Entertaining, Gardening, Summer, Tablescape Tuesday

“Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:9‬ ‭

Hello my friends…can you believe that today is the last day of July?!  School starts next week, which means I will be keeping my precious Ella Mae three days a week.  I love the time that I get to spend with her!

You all know how much I love setting a table in the garden, and this past weekend the lower humidity made being outside much more pleasant.  It was nice Sunday evening with a light breeze blowing, perfect for setting a table in the garden.  Before we know it, autumn will be here…and with the season’s change, come the change of colors.  Soon we will see hues of rust, gold, and burgundy, but for now I am still loving the colors of summer!

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
