Tablescape Tuesday: Azalea & Snowball Blooms

~ Food & Entertaining, Spring, Tablescape Tuesday

 “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??

“Do not boast about tomorrow,
    for you do not know what a day may bring.”
Proverbs 27:1

Hello sweet friends!  I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend.  Ours was so special…we spent a lot of time with Ella Mae!  We couldn’t have asked for better weather, it was perfect for playing outside.  But today’s tablescape is inside, so pull up a chair and join me at a blooming table!

You might ask, how is this a blooming table with just a few stems of snowball blooms.  Upon a closer look you will see that the china is blooming, as well as  placemats and napkin rings!

  I found this cute five bottle container at Oakleaf in Highlands, NC.READ MORE
