Porch Party Tablescape

Tablescape Thursday is here again! Be sure to visit Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH.


On April 18th our city had a Jazz Festival across the street from the side of my house. This is the 4th year they have had it and it is always lots of fun. My next door neighbor and I have started inviting our friends to come to this and enjoy cocktails and appetizers on my porch during the festival and at supper time have a cookout potluck at her house. This year we had close to 80 attending!

I didn't get any pictures during the event, because I was SO busy all day long, but I did take a picture of the tables on my porch before the party. So it IS a Tablescape post, after all!!!!



The vinyl tablecloths are from Walmart and I was glad to find some that had similar colors to the colors of my house.

Here is a picture of the festival at night from my porch.



Happy Tablescape Thursday to all! :D Jewel

Outdoor Wednesday April 29, 2009

My post for Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer. Be sure and visit her to see all the wonderful posts!


Here is my yard as of mid-April! A Jazz Festival sponsored by my city was held across the street from my house on 4/18/09. My neighbor & I had almost 80 people over for a cook-out.

My Scotch Broom was in full bloom, with columbine to the left, Solomon's seal to the right and irises behind. I put zinnias and a gerbera daisy in the pot at my back steps.


My wisteria flowers were waning a bit, but I put annuals in my "circle."




Tomorrow, for Tablescape Thursday I will show you my table set up on my porch for the porch party portion of the Jazz Festival. :D Jewel
