Tablescapes, Summer in Bloom
You know the saying,
“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade?”
Well, when life gives you flowers, do a tablescape!
I recieved an unexpected and beautiful bouquet
of flowers the other day
and I knew a tablescape would not be far away!
I knew these flowers would look pretty
with my summery abstract plates~
I had to get started, I just couldn’t wait!
I used the matching place mat I painted under the vase,
it was the perfect place!
You can see the tutorial for the painted place mat here
There are flower candlesticks on either side
On top of soft turquoise flowers
they are having a quite a nice ride!
Looking down from above,
there is a lot of blooming love!
The plates are sitting on a ruffled pink place mats
With fringed pink napkins held by a bloom
There are so many pretty flowers all over the room~
It’s been much too hot in the “city” for Alfresco dining outside
I’ll be happily enjoying this table inside!
Thanks so much for your visit!
I will be joining these fabulous parties and blogs:

Love your blooming table Jenna! Those gorgeous peonies with all their pretty-in-pink ruffled layers provide the perfect table inspiration. Love your festive plates and painted placemat too! Happy Thursday 🌸 💗
Thanks so much Mary! I’ve been worried about you and the impact of Debby on your area, I hope you are safe and dry!
Jenna, that is a beautiful bouquet of peonies! Your table is so pretty and is definitely summer in bloom. As always, I love your fun rhymes. Happy Thursday, stay cool!
Thank you Pam, the flowers were beautiful!
What a beautiful table full of gorgeous blooms!
Your painted placemat and matching plates are the perfect colorful match.
I always enjoy your rhyming words.
You always make me smile!
Happy Thursday!🌸🌸
What are under the candlesticks! So fun looking 🤩
They are faux flowers, I don’t remember where I got them!
As always–lovely. If those are Peonies, you picked one of my FAVORITE flowers of all time. They are so feminine and the fragrance is perfect. You are right about the hot days, we have had a few scorchers over here in Georgia.
Your beautiful work everywhere has made a cool and inviting place to dine on the hottest of days. Shelia (Georgia Gal)
Thanks so much Georgia Gal, stay cool if you can!
Just lovely Jenna! The colors are so beautiful and summery, and what gorgeous peonies!! I love seeing more of your house and your wonderful art too, not to mention the fun poem. Off to see what delicious recipe you have in store for my next culinary adventure! 😊
Thanks so much Barbara! Is there such a thing as too many flowers? Not to me, I adore them 🙂
Jenna, your blooming tablescape is perfect for summer. The peonies are gorgeous and what a beautiful shade of pink! I love the painted placemat and that it matches those pretty plates. The flower candleholders are so cute and I love the napkin rings. Love the blooming vase on the wall too! Hope you are managing to stay cool and happy Thursday to you!
Thanks so much Kim! Yes, I was thrilled to receive the peonies from a very thoughtful friend, they were so special, I just had to feature them on a table!
These are so very beautiful!
Lifts the heart.
Thank you Dorothy 🙂
It’s a floral explosion in Jenna’s foyer. I love it! Your mats are so cute, and I love the idea of painting them.
Thanks RJ, painting them was a ton of fun!
I love the contrast of textures in your tablescape and your rhymes always bring a smile to my face.
Thanks so much Linda 🙂
You are welcome. I hope you have a good, not-too-hot weekend!
Jenna, such a pretty tablescape. The peonies are gorgeous. Love the painted placemats and those pretty plates. A lovely table to enjoy indoors. Such a hot summer, I am ready for fall.
Thank you Linda, have a great weekend!
The flowers are gorgeous and your painted placemat rocks. I’m guessing that’s one of yours and it’s terrific!
Thanks Jeanie, painting the placemat was really fun!
You did a beautiful job on that table. I love the pink goblets. I’m surprised you have peonies- our peony season ended in May.
Thanks so much Judee. The peonies came from a florist, they were so pretty!
