One More Summer Setting

After all the hoopla for the White party, I felt a tremendous desire to lay on the couch for several days.  We did get things put away and cleaned up, but I took my good, sweet time.  So, not wanting to miss tablescaping this week, I used some leftover white flowers, and took it from there.  And since the temperatures here are still in the upper 80's, I thought a fresh look was ok.  I have been looking for some dishes with purple but the only ones I was able to find were from TJ Maxx, and they didn't have enough.  So I'm using white dishes--can't go wrong with the white dishes--and a limoge salad plate.
We are keeping the pool open for awhile, since fall is one of the best times to enjoy the outside.

Chargers are currently available at Tuesday Morning, and dinner plates were purchased last year at TJ Maxx.  Limoge plates have a delicate floral design, and even though they weren't precisely the right colors, I thought they blended well with the purple and green.

I found this runner in Home Goods and loved the combination of purple and lime green.

I purchased these limoge salt cellars on Ebay, I think.  It's been awhile ago.

Candlesticks and votives are from Home Goods and stems are from TJ Maxx.  I went to several stores in order to find 8!  Can't beat TJ Maxx, Home Goods and Marshalls!


I think the lime green napkins brighten the table a bit.  I tried the other way around, but I liked this better.

Bird's eye view...
I added liriope blooms to white daisy mums, carnations, and baby's breath for added color.



At dusk, candles are lit.

Goodnight, all!!  Thanks for stopping by, I'll try to be more fall-like next week :)  As always, I appreciate your kind comments!

  3. Hello...

    Oooh...your summery table is gorgeous, my friend! I have always loved a purple and green color combination, in fact, I had a bedroom done in it several years ago. I love the table runner...it makes such a beautiful statement and foundation for your beautiful table! Ohhh..and the purple candle holders are to die for! Everything is soooo beautiful...from your pretty white flower centerpiece...right down to the white place settings! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous table with us!

    I have to tell you, a cold front moved into our little corner of Colorado last night. It is only 67 degrees out...brrrr!

    Warmest wishes,

  5. Ahhh, the final summer tablescape! It's lovely! Love that runner and the Limoge china! We've cooled off here a lot. I found purple stemware at T.J.'s today and I'm thrilled. I've been checking constantly for it. Your night pictures make me want to sit right down and join you!

  11. Incredibly beautiful runner. Love the purple candlesticks, too. I'm so jealous of everyone who has a Home Goods store near them. Purple and lime green always look fabulous together.

  14. I am loving the purple and lime!!! Loving it!!! this is a great transitional table because it has both the deep purple and the bright white and green...a little bit of both seasons! Purple is just one of those fabulous all-year-round kind of colors. I think I know the purple dishes from TJ Maxx you're talking about. I have them, but forgot I had them! I saw them on Mary's (Home is Where the Boat Is) post this morning, but didn't recognize them/remember I had the same dishes!!! I really think it's all about how different elements are used. I love the runner you've used here...it is reallly pretty!!! In a couple of the photos, the table covering takes on a slight lavender hue. Very cool!!! LOVE the stemware! Yikes!!! It is TOO pretty!!!!!!!!!

  15. Purple and lime green look so good together. Your table looks so pretty. I have that runner too and just love it. Temp in the 80's is just perfect to do tablescapes outside. Your pool looks so nice. We keep ours open all year round...Christine

  26. The shots of amethyst are like jewelry for your lovely tablescape. Don't you wish that we could buy those kisses of sunlight for every table that we set! The night time shots are dynamic; I really like them. Thank you for sharing your beautiful design. Cherry Kay
