I couldn’t be more excited to share this Halloween table with you today.  Last year’s Halloween table was so chic and had pink and I couldn’t have loved it more but this year it doesn’t have any pink and I’m still obsessed!  Here’s my elegant Halloween table with snakeskin print and velvet pumpkins.

I love setting a table and my fall and Halloween tables using Hot Skwash pumpkins are so fun to create! 

I love creating a runner down the table and playing around with the placement of the pumpkins and staggering them all until they look right. This time I added some black branches sticking out the ends and loved how that looked.

I started from the center, with my jumbo ivory Hot Skwash pumpkin, and then worked outwards. I found this cute black hair clip with feathers (and clipped off the dotted net part) and placed it on the pumpkin for a fun accessory.  It was so inexpensive and so darling.

We used other ivory, bone, bone with rhinestones, and black-gold pumpkins in various sizes (3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, and 8″). See them all HERE, Then, the special pumpkin….

That snakeskin sequin pumpkin with black feathers!!! Swoon!!! I’m sooo in love with it!  I love snakeskin print so much and always have and it’s back and especially hot this year and I’m thrilled. I have a lot of snakeskin print everything in my print so I was thrilled to have Daria make a couple of these for my Halloween table!

A few months ago I came across these darling and inexpensive black and gold chargers and knew they’d be perfect for my Halloween table!  I found the plates at HomeGoods eons ago and still love them. Check out these or these halloween plates too, as they’d be a really darling idea!

I also found these gold rhinestone spider napkin rings at the same time and bought them too. They were too gorgeous and so inexpensive.

Ok two things….First, this dress is under $50 and looks like something Audrey Hepburn would have worn.  I accidentally found it while looking for a dress for a friend.  So I bought it in 2 colors and I’m trying not to buy it in several other colors…ha!  It’s soooo classy and flattering.  Notice the snakeskin print shoes!  Perfect for this table, right?!

Second…you know when you feel like something’s missing from your tablescape and then it hits you and you know you have to go digging through boxes to find it and really don’t want to because you’re in a dress? Haha!  Well, that was me but I went and dug and found the Halloween box with my black crows anyway.

It’s a perfect fit, right?!  It’s exactly what this black branch needed!

This crow is somewhat of a partier.

EEK!  I’m sooooo excited for Halloween!!!  Are you?! I’ve already had guests sit down at this table and they DIED over this presentation! There’s still time to order everything and set a spooktacular Halloween table this year!

We had a cooler summer this year in the Pacific Northwest and just when we got a couple weeks of hot weather and got to explore some really fun waterfalls, it was time for school to start. I didn’t think I was ready for fall.  But then I started getting out all of my fall decor and putting things together, lit a yummy fall candle and then that all changed.  I’m ready now …ha!  The timing couldn’t be better because my friends at Nick & Alicia are hosting a tour today of beautiful fall tablescapes and I’m sharing my elegant fall table in gold, ivory and soft aqua.

Hot Skwash Velvet Pumpkins

Just as I did last year in my blush pink pumpkin fall table and also my black leopard and pink pumpkin Halloween table, I teamed up with my friend Daria, founder and designer behind Hot Skwash, and created some beautiful pumpkins for this year’s fall table.

This (jumbo size) pumpkin above was made in a specialty fabric, custom for this fall table and was really the inspiration.  I wanted it to be ivory and gold with this large beauty as the star of the show. You can find it in an 8″ size as a limited edition.  It’s a very soft aqua with the most gorgeous gold floral design. When Daria showed it to me, I fell head-over-heels in love with it!

We also used a custom fabric to add a couple of 6″ and 8″ champagne-colored pumpkins to the runner of ivory pumpkins.  To finish, we added a couple of 4″ bone pumpkins (I placed on the ends) and then 2 more 3″ bone pumpkins with Swarovski crystals.  To get this look, you can find this limited edition grouping of pumpkin in a trio HERE. Please contact Daria regarding any custom requests or questions.

I topped off each little plate with a mini 2″ pumpkin with Swarovski crystals.  Wouldn’t that be a fun plate setting to sit down to?  I know all my girlfriends and all the girls in my family especially would appreciate the extra little sparkle on each plate!

Patina Vie Goblets

If you remember my fall table last year, I had the prettiest blush and gold goblets from Patina Vie that went beautifully with the blush pink velvet pumpkins.  So this year, they sent me their gorgeous Aquarius Goblets to complement my beautiful soft aqua pumpkin and….WOW!  Are they the perfect pair or what?!

They always have the prettiest glassware so I love browsing their collection when creating a new tablescape!  I just love this color.  I’ve never been one to do traditional fall colors, even though I LOVE THEM, but I really enjoy picking different color palettes and playing around with them.

I never thought I’d do this soft aqua for fall and I’m so glad I did.  It’s so soothing and so elegant in my dining area.  

Because I love mixing old and new…I have vintage gold-rimmed milk glass plates and vintage flatware, both which I have found from several sellers and am linking below in my “Shop The Post” section.

Gold Faux Stems

You saw these stems on my.mantel in my Living Room Tour and you’ll see these stems in my entry as well (coming to the blog on Thursday so I’ll update this link when that goes live).  A couple of weeks ago I walked into a store and found several different gold stems I loved (I’d looked everywhere) and there they were.  So, I actually bought them online first and then picked them up in the store and then bought 4 times as many. I’m glad I did and trust me, you’ll love them as much as I do and find a use for them everywhere this holiday season just as I am.  I used the golden faux eucalyptus spray and golden glittered faux money plant spray here. But get the glittered beaded branch too because it’s even prettier in person (you’ll see those in my entry).

By the way….Still looking for the perfect buffet table to fit this space!
(See more about these candle wreaths here.)

Also, in my next tour, I’ll be sharing more into my. kitchen!

Hello friends!!!  How is your summer?  We still have a few weeks left before school starts and I’m so glad!  A group of my friends and I are joining forces today to remind you that it’s still SUMMER TIME and therefore, still time to set some beautiful summer tablescapes!  We’re each sharing a summer table with you today to give you some inspiration for a beautiful summer table.  Maybe you’re having friends over for a weeknight dinner OR having a BBQ on your back patio OR maybe you’re like me and just like to set a simple place setting for your family of four on a summer Sunday evening.  This is a summer tablescape with coral peonies and flamingo linens I’m sharing with you today.

So, I actually set this table and shot it LAST YEAR, ha!  I hadn’t got around to posting it until this year.  When a group of friends talked about sharing summer tables I thought it was a perfect time to get this post finished finally and published.

Remember when my friend Holly and I went to Pure Peonies Farm for a day last June?

I used these placements HERE too in this back to school dinner for our kids a couple of years ago. They are so fun to use in the summer!

Just a few days left until the Fourth of July!  It’s one of my favorite holidays because I’m a huge patriot and LOVE my country!  If you need some last-minute inspiration this year, or if you’re reading this a following year and needing inspiration, I’m glad you’re here to see my elegant Fourth of July Tablescape with ginger jars.

We are only a family of four so it doesn’t take a lot to set the table and for this table, I really didn’t want a tablecloth.  I just wanted to use my pretty white ruffle table runners.

I still miss Texas but living here in the Pacific Northwest and getting to grow so many different types of flowers, including these gorgeous blue hydrangeas, is heavenly!  I snipped these and the white spray roses from my garden and purchased the red roses and white euro pons to display in these gorgeous large and small blue and white chinoiserie ginger jars (several linked at end of post).

I added a small flag and then it was perfect!

I purchased these darling set of blue and white Aerin plates last summer (this year’s Aerin Collection HERE) and I just adore them still.  

They are perfect for a patriotic table.

I have the matching napkins that go with the plates but for this table I just wanted to use my simple white ruffle dinner napkin.  Instead of my modern gold flatware, I wanted to use my elegant gold flatware for this elegant table.

Like I said, it is so simple to put this elegant table together.  Anyone can do it!

We are experiencing a heat wave here in the Pacific Northwest and next week is officially Summertime! So this is the perfect time to welcome all of you readers to my first summer tour of the season, the “Season Simplicity Summer Series”, hosted by my friend Krista from The Happy Housie. A special warm welcome to those of you here for the first time today! I hope you sign up at the top of the page for my emails so that you don’t miss out on all the fun. I have some really exciting events and things up my sleeve for all of you so make sure to stick around! But first….let’s go straight to my back patio and yard for a little summer tour!

Items from the post will be linked in the “Shop The Post” section at the end!

Last year was our first summer in our new home that we built here after moving from Texas here to Vancouver, Washington. Back in Texas, we were already familiar with the people we needed to contact when in need of any immediate services, like the much needed AC repairs from JAK Services (https://jakservices.com/fort-worth-air-conditioning-repair-service/) or others in our neighborhood. Whether we were preparing the home for the summer heat wave or getting it cozied up for the winter, we knew whom to approach. In Vancouver, everything was new to us and it was slightly overwhelming at first, to be honest. Nevertheless, we were able to design everything from scratch and really make it our own, I was so happy about this. The community is lovely here so we all helped each other over winter, and a couple of neighbors came round to help me out as well. Quite a few houses around here have some flags up which makes me feel all proud to be living here! They looked a bit like the residential flagpoles at Flagpoles Etc that I’ve seen before. I was wondering if we should do it too, it gives off a vibe of patriotism, so many people are proud to be American after all! Anyway, that’s by the by! We had so much more to sort as well. Making our house look incredible, and our garden too, because this was super important to me. Our few flowers and shrubs were newly planted and small and not much had been done. Now that we’ve been through a winter with them, we’ve been able to see what’s survived and what hasn’t. Most everything did.

I’m not a fan of annuals. I usually only have 2 of them and keep it pretty low maintenance with those, other than the annuals in my hanging basket. I plant perennials and like to find things that will bloom spring to fall and keep color all summer long. I also like to add other plants that will bloom at different times.

I have 1 type of rose that blooms in March and April and then that’s it. I also have my yellow lilies, daffodils and tulips, hyacinth Then my peonies in May and June. These are my peony bushes (now empty) that just all bloomed and finished and then I have 2 rose bushes on the end.

I picked the last of my peonies (left arrangement) last week and they all look beautiful inside my home! Imagine those empty peony bushes on the previous outdoor picture filled with peony blooms. It was gorgeous! I’m so sad I didn’t get it photographed but I was so ill with health problems and just didn’t catch it. Next year for sure!

All my roses and hydrangeas are next through the summer. I just LOVE roses so I have some on each end of my yard and some in the middle.

Our backyard is not very deep, it’s shallow. But the sides are large. I won’t be showing you those today as I had hoped because we didn’t get them done in May, due to some health problems I’ve had. I’m bummed! We have had some fun things mapped out but hopefully we’ll get them done by the end of the summer. I’ll let you know.

That being said….with the space from our back door to the fence being more shallow, I really wanted a lot of greenery and to not just look out back and see “Fence!” every time I looked out the back windows. My solution was to buy a lot of beautiful honeysuckle plants, white flowered chocolate vine plants, clematis (planted one last year and it came back after I thought it wouldn’t) and then I just planted a couple of climbing rose bushes. I think it’ll be just beautiful. It already is.

Tip: The great thing about the honeysuckle and white flowering chocolate vines is that they are evergreen! That will be the most aesthetically-pleasing. Plus, they smell sooooo good and the honeysuckle attract the humming birds so it’s just wonderful!

I love a variety of color in my garden but I also love aroma! Dianthus are very aromatic and have such various delicious smells. Some smell like raspberries dipped in chocolate to me….some like vanilla and cherries…they are just yummy smelling and so easy to care for.

I love roses! I have quite the rose garden but I’m embarrassed to post these as I haven’t even had a moment to trim these all back yet before taking pics. Like I said, I’ve been suffering from some health issues that are new and taking getting used to.

My mom is here for a bit helping and she and I are tackling that next. It’s crazy how they’ve all toppled over in just the last couple of weeks! They are growing soooo fast! How cute is that cement tufted-style garden stool?!! I found it at HomeGoods and knew it would be just darling in my rose garden.

At the end of the lawn where the stone path starts, we are going to be putting a little trellis over it with climbing roses. It’ll be so cute. This leads to our DIY stone bench. I purchased the stone at a supplier here locally and added cement ($3) in between. The stone cost about $90. It leads to our little fairy garden and sits next to my first apple tree. I’ll be planting a row of fruit trees. Can’t wait! I have petunias around the bottom of my tree for fun.

My kids helped me create this small fairy garden in the corner, behind my rose garden. I know they’re too old for it, but we really did it for my nieces and nephews that come to visit and the smaller children who come over to play. It’s a fun little area. I bought everything at Michael’s last year on sale at the end of the summer so the prices were awesome.

One of my favorite additions this year has been to our patio…our retractable awning. It’s manual but it was just a few hundred dollars and it is quick and easy to roll in and out. We paid a local company to come out and install it for a few hundred dollars because we wanted it done really well. I suggest doing that unless your husband is super handy. Mine is great at closing business deals and sports but he will tell you that he’d feel more confident hiring someone for this task and I’d agree that’s best when the wind whips this thing around. You want it really anchored and sturdy!

I like keeping to wreath hangers in between my windows during the summer entertaining months so that I can switch out my wreaths with tablescapes.

Bringing your bar cart outside for summer entertaining is a MUST!

Lemons are so fresh and summery so I thought this was the best way to kick of the summer, with an easy lemon floral centerpiece. I added a cup inside the vase for the flowers to sit in. I added the thin slices of lemons in between and that was it. These were very inexpensive flowers from the grocery store, $10 total. And $2 for the lemons.

We could sit out here every night for dinner and watch the sunset and look at the view of the Wetlands and those gorgeous trees! Love it out here!!!

My other favorite addition this summer to our backyard has been our new grey umbrella with white fringe. (Everything is linked below.) It’s fun to take out our dining set for more of a “garden party” feel with the umbrella and set it up on the grass. It’s the cutest umbrella and I’d been wanting it for a while. We’ll be using it in another spot that we are designing that we hope to have finished.

I like to have towels ready for water balloons fights and water fun in the backyard at all times!

I’ll finally be getting around to the tutorial on the putting green I made for my hubby on the side of the house as a surprise gift so stay tuned! (Beckham was trying it out. He approved.)

The post Back Patio & Yard Summer Tour appeared first on Summer Adams.

Hello friends!  It’s time for another fun hop with some of my favorite blogger friends and this time our good friend Alicia from A Burst of Beautiful is hosting our Summer Tablescape Tour today!  Are you ready?  I know I am!  Get ready to pin away because I’ve seen the sneak peek and my friends never disappoint!  I’m sharing my French Lavender Tablescape for a soft summer night, that I put together for my little family of four. It’s simple and special and it doesn’t call for a special occasion!

Straight from a Paris flea market

This tablescape all started with a trip to a vintage fair that my friend was participating in and I found these babies…
Antique French Lavender Transferware Plates

The vendor had been to Paris, France the summer before and found them and brought them home with a ton of other fun finds to sell.  I bought all 6 but just need 4 of them for our family place settings here.  Think of all the French dinners these plates have served!  Oh….the stories they could tell!  I’m dying to know them all!

For the love of purple

To be honest, I’ve never loved purple until lately.  Brooklyn, my 13 year-old, and I had just been to the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens near us and fallen in love.  We decided to wear shades of purple dresses and have some fun.  It was gorgeous. How can you not love purple after that?!

I’d also been cutting and bringing in a ton of beautiful lilacs, as they’re growing everywhere here in the Pacific Northwest this spring and just now saying good-bye to them as summer approaches.  It’s become a purple love affair over here and I didn’t see it coming at all!!!!  And I’m liking it!

Besides finding the antique plates at the previously mentioned vintage fair, I also found the darling purple vintage apron pictured above.  I have a small collection of vintage aprons so that was a really fun find.

Anyway….This purple tablescape was meant to be.  It was time and I’d never done one before but it had to be subtle and simple. No chargers this time, ha!

French Lavender Tablescape For a Soft Summer Night

By the time I put this table together, my last bunch of lilacs had died and none of them on the trees looked good enough to bring in so I went to Trader Joe’s and look what they had!  These purple “Double Peony Tulips”.  Have you every heard of them?  I have them mixed with regular purple tulips so they’d be the fuller ones like this one blooming on the bottom.

They were just precious and thought they’d be adorable, in a few different shades of purple like I have on the table.  They’re also that perfect transition from spring into summer, just like tulips are to peonies.

I mixed a few of my favorite vintage pieces, like my gold flatware and milk glass vase, with newer pieces and decor.  I’ll have these things linked at the end of the post for you.

 

These pretty drinks are also delicious and they come in all different colors and flavors which make it fun for using on tablescapes!

 

 

 

 

Don’t wait for a special occasion to set a nice table for your family!  There are only 4 of us so it doesn’t take long.  When we have longer days in the summer, I like to take a few extra minutes, inside or outside, and set an extra pretty table for my family.

They love it and I think it’s important to teach my daughter how to create tablescapes, just as I learned from my mom.  The boys clean up AND I find that we stick around the table and talk a little longer.  I’ll take that!  This time we have together is too precious and a mama has to get creative, right?!

Beeteedubs…I’m really loving lavender now!  I found the cutest top, as seen in this pic above and I’m linking it below!
But let it be known!!!!  I’m not cheating on pink!!!! HA!!  I’m still loyal and it’s still my favorite!  My birthday is in June and on National Pink Day so stay tuned for that because it’s gonna be a FUN one!!!!

Every year, for the last few years, I’ve been bringing out these gorgeous beaded pumpkins and gourds, leaves and grape clusters from ZGallerie.

My mom and I both fell in love with them and brought them all home and it’s fun to know that, even though she is back home in California, her Thanksgiving table looks similar with her pretty pumpkins.

I even mixed some other sparkly pumpkins from my fall collection, as well as this lovely large Hotskwash velvet pumpkin.  You can see my 2 other velvet pumpkin tablescapes from earlier this fall HERE and HERE.

I forgot that I also had these matching beaded pinecone napkin rings from ZGallerie but instead of using them as napkin rings this year, I just added them to this table runner I’ve created.  I grabbed some gold metallic leaf stems and inserted them in between pumpkins as well.

My new favorite piece on this table are these precious little bread and butter dishes from Perigold.  I always find the prettiest things on their site!  I love that extra touch of glam and elegance that these bring to my table.  They would also be lovely as dessert plates or for appetizers when friends come over.

Now be sure to visit all my friends that are joining me this month in sharing their Thanksgiving decorating ideas!

The post Elegant Thanksgiving Table In White & Gold appeared first on Summer Adams.

One of my favorite things about Fall is that it’s the beginning of that part of the year where one holiday leads to another and our home decor and festivities change every month and to celebrate!  It also means that, with all of the constant celebrating and changing of season and decor and favorite foods, that all of us bloggers have so much to share with you so we get together and organize blog hops.  It’s such a fun way to share all of our ideas and homes with our readers and our friends’ readers too.  Think of it as…an online party…
…and you’re invited!!!

So thank you for being here today, from wherever you came from, and we hope you make it around to all 6 blogs for this “Touches Of Fall” Home Tour Blog Hop.  I have set a blush velvet pumpkin tablescape for fall that I’ve been so excited to share with all of you.

The Prettiest Blush Pink Velvet Pumpkins

Recently I met Daria, the designer and creator behind Hot Skwash, and had the privilege of going to her office/warehouse  in Tigard, Oregon (just across the river from us) and see all of the gorgeous pumpkins and other creations in person.  She was so gracious to collaborate with me and help me create gorgeous fall vignettes with her pumpkins.  I recently shared some of her gorgeous pumpkins in my fall master bedroom post.

I told Daria that I had blush pink and golds and taupes in my living room and into my kitchen AND she knows how much I love pink so she made sure to send me home with a plethora of these new blush pink velvet pumpkins that she released this year.  I thought of mixing them with some other colors but we both agreed that it would break up the pink and not look as stunning.

I decided to do the same thing with faux blush fall roses (I used them in these candle wreaths also and on my fall mantel) and keep it monochromatic because using white roses or lighter blush pink roses took away from the blush pumpkins and distracted your attention.  I wanted them to compliment them instead.

I originally planned on using a certain tablecloth BUT when I brought out the eucalyptus and faux roses to place in between my pumpkins, I immediately knew that they’d look best on my pretty grey-stained table I refinished.  I love the rustic-glam look it created!

I recently received these gorgeous new blush and gold goblets and I’m soooooo in-love with them!  They were perfect for this tablescape!

Daria showed me these mini blush pumpkins with swarovski crystals and my jaw hit the floor!  I had to have them.  They not only look cute on top of each setting but they’d be so cute with a name card tied to them OR to give as a little gift or party favor if you were having a shower or brunch with girlfriends.

Aren’t they precious?!

Oh!  And I love that each pumpkin stem is signed by Daria herself….just like every piece of art should be!

I decided to use my gold chargers, vintage milk glass dishes and layered them with my white beaded dishes.

These blush pink ruffle dinner napkins made another appearance with my “goldie-ware”, as I call it (you call it gold flatware…haha).

Romantic Fall Table By Candlelight 

If you’re a regular reader, you know how much I love Agapé Candles, especially these new fall scents, and they were perfect to bring out at night in their pretty mercury glass votive sizes.

Cue music, light a fire in fireplace, add yummy food and you have the most beautiful and romantic blush rustic glam fall table with the prettiest blush velvet pumpkins.  Oh!  And good company, of course!

Create Your Own Blush Velvet Pumpkin Tablescape For Fall

I will link the items below that I used, or items like them, for your shopping convenience.  It is so easy to find things from your home that you already have to incorporate in a tablescape like this OR you can add to it and purchase pieces.  You’ll be able to mix and match good napkins, goblets, flatware, dinnerware and more when creating beautiful tables.  It’s really important to invest in good pieces that you’ll use over and over that are also within your budget.

You can purchase these blush pink velvet pumpkins HERE.

I’m so glad you’re here today!  I’m joining a group of seriously talented bloggers in sharing our fall tables with you.  I love creating tablescapes for my family and friends, especially during the holidays, and enjoying it with really delicious food.  But I especially love the excuse to set a table for some girlfriends, like this brunch tablescape for Fall, and invite them over to eat good and visit!

A simple and feminine place setting

Before I ran out to buy anything, I decided to look through my dishes and linens and try to use what I had.  Sometimes I find inspiration for a tablescape in a flower arrangement or new napkins but sometimes it comes in just looking through what I already have.

When I think of girlfriends, I think pink and floral.  So I wanted to make a pumpkin floral centerpiece and then decided to put it with white and pink linens.  They had to be ruffled, of course, because those are so feminine and beautiful.

Earlier this year, I scored some beautiful vintage gold-rimmed milk glass dinnerware off of Facebook Marketplace.  I mixed those in with my white beaded salad plates.

I used my gold flatware (a.k.a. “goldieware” as I call it) and gold-rimmed wine glasses.

Then I thought the teacups would be a cute way to display and give them a small rose to take.  After all, what girl doesn’t love flowers, right?!  The teacups can be used for tea, with or after their brunch, or just act as a vessel for their rose.

DIY Pumpkin Floral Centerpiece

I found a bunch of faux pumpkins in my fall storage bins that I’ve had but wasn’t using this fall so I grabbed a medium-sized one and cut the center out with a sharp kitchen knife, since it’s made of foam.

I grabbed one of my shorter glasses from the cupboard and placed it in the center of the pumpkin to act as a small vase.  I buy fresh flowers every week when I get the groceries and always grab a bunch of eucalyptus stems in the fall.  I grabbed some white and pink roses and the eucalyptus stems to make a simple but lovely arrangement.  The entire thing took about 10 minutes.

I added it to a pretty pink cake stand to give it height and just love how it looked.

My grandma passed away this year and we were close.  I inherited a lot of beautiful things that mean a lot to me and these vintage crystal salt and pepper shakers are one of them.  They are always pretty on all of my tables.  And then there’s a piece of Grandma here too.  She’d love this table.

So that’s it! Easy peasy!  The only difficult thing about this tablescape was deciding which of my favorite foods to select for the menu.  Croissants and muffins are a given though.  Who doesn’t love those?!

Lemons are so lovely, aren’t they?!  On a table, on a print, in a recipe…I just adore them.  I decided to set a lovely little lemon tablescape for my little family of four while it’s still summer.  This can very well take you into the fall and even be used at spring!

It all started with our usual Saturday trip to the local Farmers Market when I found this gorgeous flower farmer and these bright yellow blooms.  I hand picked a few different stems and asked them to put a bouquet together instead of pink roses or peonies or something I would usual buy.

I also picked up some lemons for my lemon curd parfait recipe and my homemade pink lemonade recipe and set most of them aside.  I sliced up a few for garnish and drinks.  I also pulled out the lemon napkins I bought earlier this spring that I used to serve my luscious lemon curd parfaits but I also wanted to use them for this tablescape.

This was such a simple tablescape to throw together and you can do it too!  You can pull out a white tablecloth if you’d like.  I pulled out these darling ruffle table runners that I already had and placed them across the table as shown.

I used these cute little faux lemons from a lemon stem I bought and also used for my pink lemonade outdoor tablescape for some girlfriends.  I loved getting more use out of them. They can also be put in a small bowl or apothecary jar for decor.

I already had these lovely chargers, gold flatware, goblets.

The lovely flowers and adorable lemons and napkins really stole the show but everything was so simple.  I made some lemonade and sliced the lemons for additional flavor or garnish.

With all of the beautiful sunlight coming in from our windows, it just made such a lovely and cheerful tablescape that took no time at all to put together!

You know I’m a pink girl and always have some pink in my kitchen but this yellow has been such a beautiful way to change things up and has brought such a smile to my face!

I wish you could all sit down at this lovely table and visit with me!  But since you can’t, please know that you can create the same or similar tablescape with almost no effort at all.  Try to use what you have but you can always buy cute accents and charming little lemon napkins to add a touch lemon.
