Late Summer Tablescape
Rustic Blues in the Backyard
At least we’ve got the summer, right? We don’t know about you but in our little corner of the world summer is getting us through these uncertain times. With every precaution, we go outside and line up for the weekly grocery run, to pick up our favorite pizza or a pint of seasonal ice cream, all while basking in the sun for a few moments. We take our morning cup of coffee on our deck and have our meals in the backyard, whenever possible. We’ve learned by now that finding joy in the small moments we share with others, even through layered masks, even if only with those we live with, goes a long way in keeping us all sane. It’s almost a survival technique of the time.
With more summer days in mind, we thought we’d share with you a few simple styling tips to have your next meal outdoors and make it special. Hint: It is easier when you go for something seasonal! We’re calling this gathering for two rustic blues and you’ll see why shortly.
Our small table looked like a dance of blue hues under the green canopy of a giant tree. We enjoyed a summer salad for lunch and indulged in a berry cheesecake for dessert. It was nothing fancy or jaw-dropping but it was certainly a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Amidst the forced routines we’ve fallen into at our homes, without a clue of when we’ll finally see more social days, we’ll take each and every opportunity to enjoy life a little differently.
