My Inspiration for this Tablescape was having family over for
~~~ A dinner on my patio !! This was my first time this Summer, because of the Hot
Weather....
No tablecloth on this table ~~ I did use my light green placemats, and my ever
day flatware.. The same green color is in the salad plates.
My centerpiece was a mix of Magnolias and Hydgenea flowers.. Can you see my
Green vase is on my blue vintage plate for more height~~ because of the Candles..
I did use my vinage white napkins, and a light green color one !!!
The green glass will be filled with cold shrimp..Yummy
I Purchased my salad plate, and dinner plate from Wal-Mart for $1.50 each!!
This was great buy for my Summer table. I love the butterflys sweet.
I also love the pattern ~~ The color of this dinner plate is a Teal Blue~~~
Lets light the Candles, and have a glass of Wine !!!
I hope you all come Back !!!
Please take a moment to Comment. Thank you so much!!
Iam linking up with these Blogs for there linky Parties...

That was an amazing tablescape but I sure hope your temperatures are less than it is in NC which will be triple digits for the rest of this week.
Lovely cool looking summer table. It is too hot here for dining outside!
You always find the coolest dishes!!
Lovely table as always!! Can't believe the price for the plates...great find! Even though very hot we are dining out on the porch and loving it!
Blessings!!
Looks great as always. I love your centerpiece.
Yay!! Blue and green always have a calming cool effect and the butterflies just say "summer"! It's just too humid here to even think about eating outside.....but I wouldn't mind if it was in the lower 80's eating your shrimp!!

What a gorgeous table!! I love your use of the magnolias. Also your plates are so pretty! I am so impressed that you got them for such a great deal. Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog, I am your newest follower! :-)
I just love the cool refreshing colors you chose for this tablescape. The centerpiece is lovely. I think it's one of my favorites. The plates are so pretty,especially the butterflies. Do you know the butterfly story? It goes like this...when you see a butterfly it's a reminder of someone whose gone on before. They are telling you to be as the butterfly...happy and carefree. Life is too short not to enjoy.
What time shall I arrive for this lovely evening on the patio? I'll wear my best summer hat and come expecting a wonderful evening...teehee.
Til next time...
God bless you with JOY!

Very inviting. Now that my sons are grown I'm trying to bump up my food presentation. But it will never look as good as yours. Just became a follower.
Hey, Diane! Long time no talk to! Looking good! I know what you mean about not wanting to entertain outdoors in this unforgiving heat. It has been just excruciating!!!!!!! I rarely venture out of the house except for trips to the grocery store and the pharmacy. TOO hot!!! I hope your summer is going well just the same. Take care!
The first thing I love about your tablescapes is that they aren't matchy-matchy. The second thing I love is the colors you use.
And then you have the pretty butterfly plates here. They add a big punch, don't they?
Where do you store all your stuff? Will you ever or have you ever posted about how you organize it so you can find it when you want it?
Beautiful! I love your talent for matching plates in such a perfect way!! Love the colors you've chosen for your outdoors, summer time and your garden looks gorgeous, too. The centerpiece is so pretty, darling Dianne, your tablescapes are so unique and always so special, my freind. Love, FABBY
Those dishes are so summery looking. I love the colors.
Love the colors in this Diane! What a great outdoor tablescape. It's all fresh and summery! Too bad it's been so hot, more than usual :( Love your votive centerpiece!
