Summer table with Lilies:))

A few drops of rain, a few whiffs of breeze could make a garden bloom. How true are these lines. Last weeks a sudden down pour saw a grand parade of yellow and white lilies blooming  in our garden. Lilies are  summer favorites. Although this particular variety stay bloomed for shorter time arranging them in a bowl for this weeks table scape  looked striking. Everyone knows wherever a few lilies stand they can still draw all eyes. For the table I used a hand painted floral motif  linen which is with me for almost seventeen years. I was happy to use it for the first time and it looked good on the table. While I loved creating this table at the same time felt quite bad to see the flowers dangling next day.      Please Visit Nap On The Porch Please Visit Home Sweet Home Please Visit Share you style Please Visit Clair justin Please Visit Rustic and Refied

Receiving appreciation for your creation in the form of comments always touches ones heart. (Sharing some of my past posts sweet comments posted by dear readers from across...
