A late summer tablescape

I know a lot of bloggers are getting out all their cozy Fall decor.

But is is still super hot and humid here in Houston.

It just doesn't feel right to decorate for Fall when it is over 90 degrees.

What I wouldn't give for a cool, overcast day!

Anyhoo...I thought it would be fun to set up a romantic tablescape under the magnolia tree in my back yard.

Setting up a table no one is going to eat at...

Non bloggers must find it so weird. ;)

My kids were playing video games this morning while I was running around in my night gown trying to snap pictures as quick as I could before the full sun caused to much glare.

Not weird, right?

The chairs are Ikea's Tarno folding chair.

When i bought them they were black and brown.

I sprayed them with white primer and have been trying to decide whether to paint them white or
duck egg blue.

The primer has actually held up really well and I've never gotten around to painting them.

Crepe myrtles grow everywhere where I live and they look pretty in photos so I decided to use them.

Free is always good!

But they make really lousy cut flowers.

All the flowers start dropping off almost immediately.

The lantern is from Hobby Lobby from a couple of years ago.

The berries are from my front yard.

I used some simple white string tied around a linen napkin.

Cute and once again free!

I think I've ran out of things to talk about so I hope you enjoy just looking at the pictures now.

 :)

Have a great week my lovelies!
