Tablescape Tuesday: Rose Chintz & Hydrangea

~ Everyday Living, Outdoors, Tablescape Tuesday

 “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.

Tablescape Tuesday: A Fragrant Table

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭

Hello lovely friends!  I hope your week is off to a good start.  We had a very busy weekend, but we accomplished some things on our “to do list.”  I started a project on Saturday that I am extremely excited about!   It will take some time to complete, but I will be sharing with you in the future. 

Warm weather will always find me tablescaping in the garden or on the patio!  Grab a glass of sweet tea and join me at a sweet smelling table!
 
   The fragrance of magnolia and sprigs of lavender are filling the air! 

  A vintage tablecloth covers the wrought iron table.  I think most of you agree that the white table and chairs really add a lift to the garden.READ MORE

Tablescape Tuesday: Pretty Peonies

“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:29‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends…and welcome back to the garden!  I hope you’re all having a great week so far.  The humidity was almost unbearable here in our Appalachian Foothills this weekend, but if you’re a gardener, you’ve gotta get out there no matter what!  Yesterday was a nice break in the humidity, and the gentle breeze was an added bonus!  We spent most of the day in the garden Saturday, and then early evening, I set a table to showcase a lovely bouquet of peonies!  Can you believe I haven’t planted peonies yet?!  That will be changing for sure! This week’s tablescape is all about the pretty peonies!

Have you noticed my Renaissance Man painted the garden furniture?!!  

I am loving it so much, I didn’t even use a tablecloth (it was previously painted black, in case you don’t remember)!
