Welcome to The Tablescaper.
As we wind through these lovely lazy days of summer…
…I always think of berries popping in my mouth, full of sweet explosion!
Truth be told, nowadays you can get strawberries at almost any time of year,…
…but there is nothing like a fresh local berry!
These napkins were my Mom’s and they were the inspiration for this table. I love the touch of aqua!
The red square plates were last year’s bargain from Pfaltzgraff. The dinner plates, from awhile back from Dollar Tree. I think the ruffled red placemats were from HomeGoods.
I’m not certain what these greens are. In the spring they have a tiny yellow green flower. Their soft green seemed the perfect compliment to a little strawberry pitcher, that was also my Mom’s.
Our family kitchen used to be a strawberry motif – back in the day!
Last summer I was the lucky winner of a picnic back pack which included this flatware.
The napkin rings were from a bargain hunting expedition with Kathleen two years ago at The Williams Sonoma Outlet.
This little strawberry bowl was from our most recent bargain hunting expedition. The trip to Savers yielded this bowl, originally from Pottery Barn.
The candle rings, also part of the expedition, were from Dollar King!
And the little strawberry candles, were yet another purchase from our most recent expedition.
So sit back and enjoy the dappled sunlight…
…and the berries of the season!

Since life is always rushed and people hardly sit down to eat together, it makes me happy to see a beautiful tablescape.
I love it! This table is just so cute! The napkins are pretty & I love all your strawberry themed goodies.
I am loving the strawberries! Wonderful Summertime table.
So beautiful! Love the vibrant red and pretty aqua!
What fun to have these strawberry pieces from your mom. Love the aqua accents too! Thanks for sharing this sweet duet!
You are SO right...nothing like a strawberry picked straight from the vine and popped straight into your mouth! You've got the strawberry theme really rockin' here! I love the combination of red & turquoise because it's full of color and a big surprise to the mind's eye. It's got real pizzazz!
I still enjoy a fruit motif, we also had strawberries in the kitchen, moved on to apples. Savers sounds like a great place to shop. xo
Gorgeous tablescape, as you always do, sweet lady. I love to eat together with my big girls and little girls, but it's not always possible, as they live far from us. Such pretty strawberries too. Love your mom's napkins, they are pretty, along with the ruffled place mats, which are great! Hugs,

I love the strawberries!
Your beautiful tablescape certainly makes me want a bowl of strawberries. Every element is perfect with your strawberry table. I really like the aqua plates used with the berries.
That is just about the most adorable thing ever! I love the aqua and red. The berry theme is so cute. The only thing missing is me! Lol I want to be sitting there eating some berries and relaxing. Just sounds so perfect right now!
oooh, all the sweetness and goodness of strawberries is in this table.. I love all your treasures, including those wonderful napkins. Oh how lucky. Your table is so welcoming and pretty. Just love it. xo marlis
What a gorgeous setting...everything is so green...we are the awful shade of crunchy brown!
Beautiful.... just Beautiful... Hugs, Cindy
As always, absolutely gorgeous! Your tables thrill me week after week.
The only thing different about our lazy days of summer is that there is nothing lovely about them. We hit 112ยบ in the shade today! Oh, my. We're tought out here on the prairie thous; we can handle it. Your strawberry fest is darling! Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay Clifford
I adore eating berries and looking at berry-related things. It's all berry good to me!! I love the aqua color with the red... what a fun twist. How nice that your Mom collected those pretty strawberry items and you get to use them.
That is really sweet! How special those napkins and pitcher are!
Love the pop of the turquoise too.
Well done!
Lovely festive table with so much color and pop. Love the red placemats! I have those in aqua, but now I'll have to go on the hunt for red ones ~ you've inspired me with new ideas.

What a sweet, summery table!! When we were first married, 27 yrs ago, my whole kitchen was done in strawberry decor!
luv, luv, luv the aqua & red together! So fresh & summery!
What a beautiful summer tablescape. The strawberry theme is so pretty with all your red accent pieces.
Love it! Thanks for stopping by with your wonderful comments. Have a great week!

Im with you when it comes to fresh local strawberries. The season in Maine is over to be replaced by wild blueberries which are equally delish.
There's something so cheerful about strawberries, and you have captured it perfectly in your adorable table for two! It's fun to hear about your shopping trips, too!
Red and aqua really makes a statement! Your table is delightful, and your mom's napkins are a perfect touch.
Wow. Not only is your tablescape lovely, but that long stretch of lawn and the shade trees. It inspires me to move the table outdoors. Now, if only the dogs didn't do their business out there. . . .. .
I love the aqua and red. Got a lot of it going on in my house. And you got to love the strawberry theme. Lovely.

A beautiful tablescape as always! I just love looking at your blog, and what a relief that there are still some people who are appropriately celebrating Summer. I am seeing posts popping up with Halloween being mentioned. I mean, it's just the beginning of August! Still plenty of Summer left. Love the strawberry motif. . .
Lovely little tablescape. So perfect for summer. Everyone loves strawberries. Life is good.
This is the epitome of summer dining!
So bright and fresh. I love it! :)

Your strawberry table theme is so fabulous and makes me feel right at home. I only wish my hydrangeas behaved as well as yours.

Beautiful, as always! I love your color combination. I would not have thought to put red and Turquoise together but I love it!
