it's been so long since i have done a tablescape. i am so excited that my sister, melissa, is down from texas, and we could do one together. we decided we wanted to do a pretty backyard picnic to celebrate the end of summer. :)






some goodies

and yummy drinks

pretty pink candles




raspberry lemonade

silverware in a mason jar wrapped in a ribbon

summer staple..watermelon :)

place setting





lantern



green and blue vases to accent the tablecloth











daisies



a butterfly even came to visit. ;)

as the sun started setting, we lit the candles for dusk

pretty candlelight





dusk quickly turned into night...

and the apple pie was hot out of the oven, ready to be served :)







dessert by candlelight, under the moon. what a perfect summer night.

twinkle lights to offer more lighting




and my little ella always there to blow out the candles. her way of ending the night.

bring on the fall! ;)
