When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade, right?
So when life handed me pink and yellow roses,
I made a tablescape 💐😊
HHjr is so incredibly thoughtful,
he brings me flowers all the time and came home the other day
with these gorgeous pink and yellow roses


So since these beauties arrived my way,
it was time to get out some plates and play away!

Ruffled pink placemats, yellow chargers and bright floral plates

Are ready for the tasty bites that await!

Bright dotted glasses and flower ringed napkins

And let’s add coral salad plates,
they look pretty too, as it so happens…

Let’s try it with just colored plates for another look

See the menu below to see what to cook!

Here’s what’s on the menu for a Summer Celebration
Fruit Pastries with Almond Cream

Romaine Wraps with bacon, cranberries, bleu cheese and pecans


Watermelon Chocolate Chip Mini Cupcakes

Celebrate these last beautiful days of Summer!

Such pretty roses, I can see how that inspired you!
Thanks so much Carole!
Summer is my favorite season and I drag it out until the very last moment. Your painting is gorgeous and of course, the nibbles look delicious. Happy late summer days to you.
Jenna, how special that HHjr brings you flowers often. The roses are beautiful and of course they demanded a beautiful tablescape. I love the ruffled placemats and the floral plates. It all combines for a summery and stunning setting. The menu looks delicious. Happy Sunday!
Thank you Pam, the roses came from Publix, they were BOGO {he loves a deal!} and they are gorgeous! I used Mary’s flower preserver spray on them, and they still look perfect after 5 days…do you ever use that, it is truly amazing, it doubles the life of fresh flowers 💐
Yes, I always have a bottle. It really works. Have a wonderful week!
Jenna, those roses are stunning! What a thoughtful gift! I can see how they inspired your tablescape. Everything looks beautiful. Those plates are so pretty. Wishing you a most happy Sunday!
Thank you Shannon! My comments have been disappearing, so forgive me if you get this twice 🙂
Chocolate and watermelon….I’ve never thought of that combo! The table has a warm loveliness, and I’m liking the placemats as I have those, too.
What a lovely summer celebration! What a thought gift! Wishing you a Happy Sunday Jenna.
Thanks Deb, happy Sunday to you too!

Thanks Debbie, when I have fresh flowers, a tablescape is a must, and the yellow and pink roses are so pretty together!
How sweet that you get flowers. Those roses are gorgeous. LOVE your painting, too. You’re so talented in many ways. Beautiful table setting. Bet it’s really fun to eat at your house. Makes me want to decorate my table, too. 🙂
Thank you Jessica! The pink and yellow together are so bright and happy!
They are! I think I’ll look for some pink and yellow jewelry to make something with. 💗

I think HHjr is so thoughtful and sweet Jenna. Your roses are beautiful and make for a beautiful table setting. This menu sounds so delicious, love those Romaine Wraps, I have to try those. Would make a great lunch for me, yummy. Now I’m hungry 🙂

Gorgeous roses from a pretty special son! And you are right – a tablescape is called for. I just love yellow and pink together, and the ruffled placemats and either place setting looks pretty. The menu sounds delicious and perfect for summer – the lettuce wraps look yum! The painting is gorgeous! Hope you are having a lovely week Jenna!
Thanks so much Kim! Aren’t the pink and yellow roses so pretty together? Fresh flowers always put me in a party mood 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
The roses remind me of my daughter’s wedding where they were such an important part of the look. They combine beautifully with your dishes.
Roses are timeless, they are perfect for any occasion!
