SHADES OF GREEN

I am joining Marty for Tabletop Tuesday. This tablescape is from a garden tour, and I just love the lime green bench and chair.

I really like the chippy old table and the centerpiece made from just greenery. I think an all greenery arrangement in the summertime is so cool and refreshing looking.

I love this urn nestled among the greenery too.This bamboo cutlery is becoming very popular. I think it is perfect for summer tablescapes. The trays are great too, just pick up the whole thing and take back inside when the meal is over.

I think I will go pick some greenery and make an arrangement to enjoy  this hot summer day. I am joining Debbie at http://www.debbie-debbiedoos.com  for her Newbies/Graduates party.

NATURE TABLESCAPE

This is a tablescape from The Gardens of Madison County tour. It is one of my favorites. I love the colors! Look at those cute napkin rings.

Lovely centerpiece-and the nest of eggs is precious. The browns and blues are perfect together.I am joining Marty at http://www.astrollthrulife.blogspot.com for Tabletop Tuesday and Susan at http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com  for Tablescape Thursday and Kim at http://www.savvysouthernstyle.blogspot.com for Wow Us Wednesday.

FLAMINGOES ON THE TABLE

It will soon be time to change the summer decor for a fall one-though that is hard to think about when it will be over 100 here every day this week. However I am ready for a change,.But first I will share some summer scenes that I may or may not have shared before.This is part of my collection of fishing weights and witches balls. Do you know the diffeence? A witch ball has an opening in the end-the witch is supposed to fly in and then can't get out.These are sitting on a HEAVY iron tray.These flamingo dishes just scream summer,aren't they fun.

What is summer without seashells?More glass fishing weights. I am joining http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com And http://www.diybydesign.blogspot.com

RUSTIC BUT ELEGANT LUNCH

A lovely table scape with McCarty pottery-made right here in Mississippi. This was at the Gardens of Madison County tour.The rabbits are among my favorite of their pieces. Of course the bowls are great too.Love the grapevines and ivy-perfect for an outdoor setting.

Cute little bluebirds.

Love these huge lanterns set around for ambiance. Look at the cute birds nest and eggs inside.This most unusual candle holder looks great in this table scape.For more information about McCarty pottery and the story of its beginnings go to http://www.mccartyspottery.com  And don't forget to enter my give away of the wonderful Barbra Streisand decorating book-check my sidebar for details.

SCREENED PORCH LUNCH

Another lovely tablescape to show you from the garden tour. This was set on a beautiful screened porch.

These lovely colorful bowls are by a famous Mississippi artist,Gail Pittman. They really brighten the table up. I love the caladium stems in the vases too.I love all of these colors mixed together.

I just had to throw in this giraffe, he was on the other side of the porch in the sitting area.

OVER THE TOP TABLESCAPE

This is an over the top tablescape for sure! I can't remember the designer that did it, maybe your eyes are better than mine and you can read the placard on the table. This is yet another lovely tablescape from a recent home and garden tour.

Love the colors!The accesories are just wonderful. I like the yellow and blue together.Look at the sea glass chips on the salad plate. And those napkin rings are adorable!Notice how the bows on the back of the chairs match the napkin rings.I am joining http://www.astrollthrulife.blogspot.com  for Tabletop Tuesday and http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com for Tablescape Thursday and http://www.savvysouthernstyle.blogspot.com  for Wow Us Wednesday.
