Summertime Table Setting Tablescape on the Porch

I cut Becky daisies from the garden and mixed them with Patrinia scabiosifolia ‘Nagoya’ for my centerpiece.

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple of ways to display the napkin…

 

I think I like it fanned out best.

 

Bee flatware is perfect for a summer setting.

Love this soft blue glassware…

  1. Oh it is always such a delight to view your tablescapes and your fabulous photos Susan!! It's like having a subscription to a great magazine :0)
    Love the blue checks with the stripes! Beautiful!!

  2. Pat@Back Porch Musings says

    Beautiful blue and white table, Susan!

  3. Christi @ A Southern Life says

    Beautiful! Love the blue fleur de lis glasses. Cool and sweet – just like a summer evening should be!

    Christi

  4. Oh, Susan, this is SPECTACULAR … so cool and beautiful! I love Emily Dickenson's poetry, and you interpreted it wonderfully. It's always a treat to stop by for a visit … on the world's most beautiful porch.

  5. Mari at Once Upon a Plate says

    Hello Susan!

    Heart be STILL ~ I adore what you do with blue and white.

    I could never choose a favorite tablescape of yours, but this one ranks VERY high on the list.

    Thank you for hosting us and the eye candy. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! xo

  6. Lynne (lynnesgiftsfromtheheart) says

    What a beautiful refreshing table. I love the checkered napkins. The fleur-de-lis on the glasses are wonderful. Beautiful Susan, thanks for hosting another day for us to play with our dishes.. hugs ~lynne~

  7. salmagundi says

    Beautiful! I love the blue glasses. Did I miss where they came from? I would love to find some similar. Thanks for hosting Tablescape Thursday. Sally

  8. So very beautiful!!! Thanks so much for such lovely eye candy, Susan. 🙂

  9. Mid-Atlantic Martha says

    Ah yes! Another splendid day on your porch. Thanks for having us all over again today.

  10. white….so simple and yet so very elegant. Loved the poem too. I hate to admit that I am yearning for fall, but you can't blame me when we have over 100 degree weather every day! If it would just cool down a little I would gladly hold on to Summer just a little while longer (sigh)
    Your tablescapes are beautiful.

  11. I love your blue and white table! And those napkins are so cute. Guess what? I included an Emily Dickinson poem in my tablescape this week too. Drop over and pay me a visit if you get the chance.

  12. Life on Bonnie Lane says

    I so enjoyed this posting with the lovely tablescape and Emily Dickinson's beautiful words. It evoked such a wonderful feeling.

    I do really adore the blue and whites. It's so simple yet welcoming and calming. How much do you love the Claremont dish collection? I got some last month on clearance at Big Lots. The box of dishes was such a bargain at $35, yet I was able to purchase them for only $20!

    Again, this is so lovely. I love the gingham fringed napkins. They are so homey and fresh, and perfect with the sweet striped placemats. Of course, I love the Target birdies. I have them on this week's tablescape too.

    Thanks again for hosting this every week!

  13. Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says

    Love the white with the blue! I especially like the blue glassware and the candleholders. I don't blame you for holding on to summer ~ with a porch like that I'd want it to last all year!

  14. Pat@Back Porch Musings says

    Hi Susan, I put my post in and it is coming up with the title of one, that was on a couple of weeks ago. Yet, when it's clicked it takes me to the one I published today. Is there a way to fix the title on my link?

  15. The Little Red Shop says

    Sweet! It's my first visit to your Tablescape party. I love the embossed blue glasses and the little birdie salt and pepper shakers! (I gave my dear auntie a set in her Christmas goodie basket).

    What fun!

    Julie M.

  16. I'm coveting all the blue and white, especially the beautiful glassware. It's perfect for a summer tablescape! So clean, so cool.
    Another perfect tablescape!
    And I love the flatware!
    All the best,
    Eileen

  17. Well, this tablescape certainly makes these hot summer evenings feel cool. As always it is a table of pure delight, and your poetry illustration is perfect. The blue and white are as crisp and cool as that summer breeze that makes the sheers on the porch dance through the evening.
    Happy Summer, Susan!

  18. Lisa@Pickles and Cheese says

    Love the blue and white and all the tea lights. My favorite pieces are the fork with the bees on the handle. Oh, I love them!
    Gorgeous photos!

  19. I don't know how you do it, but every time, Perfection.

  20. Dana and Daisy says

    Susan, this is so pretty! But I thought for sure you would invite the squirrel in today! lol!

  21. Donna@designson47thstreet says

    You win again for creativity! Love the poem within the soft, summer tablescape. As much as I love the vivid colors of summer, your whites and blues are so soothing all at the same time. As always, you are such an inspiration. Thanks again for allowing us to meet together to share wonderful tablescape ideas, Susan. I'm excited to be a part of it all this week.

    Donna

  22. Like Wow! This is gorgeous Susan. I love the pillar candles and those oh so cute napkins! The poem fit perfectly and added such a beautiful touch! Do you ever run out of ideas? I am just amazed you can keep it up so fabulously! Thanks for hostessing ! Hugs, Cindy

  23. Jennifer Froh says

  54. Susan this tablescape is GORGEOUS! I adore your chargers and am now on a mission to find them for myself. If I had a table setting like that, I may want to hold onto summer a little longer too. But I am a Fall and Winter kind of gal so I am ready for pumpkins, mums and scarecrows!

  55. Oh to wile away the hours on a screened in porch with the cool breezes touching my face…..and to set at such a lovely table, my that would be heaven on earth.

  56. I have got to look up that flatware. Every time you use it I just sigh with delight! Heavens, every time you feature that gorgeous porch of yours I swoon with delight. Lovely, Susan, as is our hostess!
