Tablescapes, Keeping Cool with Watermelon

Let’s cool off with some watermelon today
With higher temperatures on the way
Watermelon is a refreshing treat on a hot summer day!
I set a watermelon table for 2
It’s full of watermelon slices and has a great view
The tablecloth is folded to look like a watermelon slice
With all things watermelon set to entice
A simple centerpiece of watermelon colors and things
with a “Slice of Life” coaster for even more watermelon zing
The place settings have watermelon chargers, bowls and plates
With a watermelon apron, the final touch to this tablescape!
What’s on the menu today do you think?
Spinach & Watermelon Summer Salad
And for dessert, Watermelon Cupcakes, more things pink!
Watermelon not only tastes great, it’s fun and easy to draw and paint!

Jenna, your watermelon table is the perfect cheerful display for a Summer’s day! It just looks so bright and happy and makes me smile. You also have a gorgeous water view to enjoy. I would so enjoy visiting with you at this lovely table!
Thank you Shannon, the weather has been stellar the past few weeks, I am basically living outside~
What a cheerful, happy table! I love it! Your art makes everything happy, too. I have those watermelon bowls but what really sets them off is the whole deal. Summer — it’s right here on your blog!
Thanks Jeanie!!
Jenna, what a delightful post this morning. I agree with Shannon, it makes me smile. Your table is fun and festive and celebrates the sweetness of the watermelon. Now I am craving a slice of its goodness. Summer, beach, and watermelon seems to go together. Have a Happy Wednesday! 🍉🍉🍉
Thanks Pam, watermelon is my favorite summer lunch 💕🍉
Loving all of your watermelon! Such sweetness Jenna. I have been hankering for a good sweet watermelon and bought one and it wasn’t sweet at all. Hoping to get a good one before summer is out. Love your table. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
I wish stores would only sell melons at the true peak of their seasons, a tasteless melon is such a disappointment!
Jenna, your darling watermelon items are refreshing just to see. I like to eat watermelon all summer long! We try to keep it cut in bite size pieces in the fridge to have a handy snack.
Me too Sarah, watermelon chunks are my favorite summer lunch!
I love watermelon, and with that view, it would be fantastic-enjoy:@)
thanks Lynn!
How smart to even arrange the tablecloth to look like a slice of watermelon! The tablescape is darling. Am going to read how you did the watermelon chargers and I bet they go on my list along with your awesome beach forks! Lol. If I ever get all my picket fences painted, (they enclose our entire backyard to keep our dog in), I just might have time for a fun project! Lol and I agree with you if the watermelon is tasteless, it’s a huge disappointment. LOVE your view! 🌞🌊
thank you Cyndi, the chargers won’t take long to paint, have fun!!
Adorable and so cheery Jenna! I love the tablecloth folded like a watermelon slice! Looking forward enjoying some watermelon over the 4th! 🍉🇺🇸
Thanks Mary!
What a happy table perfect for summer days!
And I so enjoy all your art! Look at the painted wine glasses!
Happy Day to you!
🍉🍉🍉
thank you Nancy, you need to paint some watermelon wine glasses!
I think I do! 😊🍉😊
Such a fun and happy summer table!!! Watermelon 🍉 I just puts a smaller on my face, it just sings summer!! As did all of your fabulous watermelons!! Adorable, Jenna!!
Thanks so much Ann, yes watermelon does sing summer!
Cute, cute, cute! Love how you casually placed a round cloth on the edge for the setting for two!
Thanks Rita!
Jenna, love your refreshing watermelon table. So many cute accessories. You always set such a cheerful happy table. I know you are enjoying your beach home. Happy summer.
