Red, White & Blue Alfresco Tablescape

~ Food & Entertaining, Summer, Tablescape Tuesday

“Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!”
Psalm 34:3 

The unofficial start to summer is here!  Whether you are boating, grilling, swimming, or working in the yard (like we will be this weekend), I hope you have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day!  Since Mary Poppins took over Tablescape Tuesday this week, I didn’t do an actual Memorial Day tablescape…this one is from the archives!  So let’s head out to the garden…where we are greeted by the red, white and blue!

I hope y’all don’t get tired of tablescapes in the garden, I can’t seem to stay inside!

Just a simple red, white, and blue setting for celebrating Memorial Day!READ MORE

Summertime & The Livin’ Is Easy

~ Decorating, Food & Entertaining, Gardening, Summer

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:16-18

I can hardly believe next Monday is Memorial Day…the kickoff of the summer season!  It seems like we just celebrated Christmas, doesn’t it?!  Summer brings thoughts of outdoor living, gardening and so much more!  From fresh farm to table vegetables and juicy fruit to beach vacations and straw hats…summer is a time we all look forward to!  The season is quickly approaching, so why don’t we take a look at all things summer today?!  Come on and pour a glass of sweet tea with a twist of lemon and a sprig of mint, and join me for a little summer inspiration!
