A Late Summer Table

This may be the last summer table I set as I am ready to start my Fall decorating. Since the house has an open floor plan I really have to do it all, as one area is seen from another. I found this pretty runner on clearance so grabbed it as I knew I had dishes that would make a pretty table! The runner has shades of blue and turquoise on a creamy background. The plates are on a solid turquoise placemat and are a creamy charger, a blue dinner plate, a turquoise salad plate and a blue bowl that is patterned inside.

 The goblet is a turquoise with bubbles.

 Creamy handles flatware is simple and pretty.

 I gathered a plain blue napkin with a flowered blue napkin in a queen annes lace flowered napkin ring.

 Turquoise candle sticks hold turquoise LED candles surrounded by blue rings.

 I made a simple arrangement in my cut glass vase of blue and white hydrangeas with creamy filler.

 Blue votives in blue holders sit at each place.

 As the sun sets it's time to light the candles. The days are getting shorter and that makes me sad. I love daylight savings time.

Thanks for stopping by. It is so hard to believe that Labor day comes this weekend! Summer has flown by way too fast. I continue to pray for all the people in Texas who have lost so much. Times like this make us realize we have NOTHING to complain about.

XO, Pinky

~~~Sunflowers for Summer~~~

As I told you yesterday, I have set a late summer table for us and sunflowers always come to mind. Also hydrangeas. They are turning their beautiful muted greens now and I get some everytime I go to the old house. I kept the table simple and may change the centerpiece, cause I am not TOTALLY happy with it but need to get to the grocery for some fresh flowers. I have some orange and some nectarine in my sherbert dish for breakfast, delicious and the right colors:):)

 A simple "stack" of plates, just a white embossed dinner plate,  my sunflower salad plate, and the brown stemmed sherbert glass.

 I put a few faux sunflowers, some leaves and some pine cones in my cloche. The cloche rests on a sunflwoer plate that is also on a glass cake pedestal.

 I wanted this table to be very organic so chose a burlap runner topped with a grapevine ball, some grassy stems and some pine cones.

 My sunflower S and P.

 One sunflower that has lasted for 2 weeks!!!!

 I love the design on the runner, simple leaves.

 And I chose these napkins because they seem to pick up the design of the edge of the runner.

 Once again, I am using the handle on the charger as a napkin ring.

 AHHHH.....

 Golden glasses are ready for any beverage we choose.

 I have a bucket of hydrangeas that I just got yesterday so decided to add one to the table for a little more organics.

 I love how they all turn different colors:)

 Thanks so much for your visit. I would be so happy if you left me a comment to let me know you were here. XO, Pinky
