Now onto tablescape #2...
I know the calendar says it is now fall, but someone forgot to send the memo to the weatherman in my home town as it is still 100+ degrees here. So I thought we should do margaritas by the pool one last time this year.
I started with these cute square placemats I picked up at Pier 1 Imports
Then I added my everyday dishes I registered for and received when I got married 19+ years ago. They are Mikasa French Country and I still love them.
Green salad plates I got @ my local grocery store, Von's, $2.80 for 4 plates. Score!
Okay, well this is a little backwards I added striped napkins between the dinner plate and the salad plate
Mikasa French Country bowls were added next
Then I found these margarita glasses in my cupboard. I didn't even know I had them! The leaves on the table were cut from my mini lime tree. I have to tell you the thorns on the mini lime tree are NOT mini and they hurt like the dickens!
Then all the other fun stuff was added. The lemons are "faux" but all the other stuff is real cut from plants and flowers in my backyard
Of course we need candle light as the sun is setting
Okay confession time... It was so hot the real flowers died in about 15 minutes so I went to Michaels and bought some faux flowers. I thought the yellow would brighten up the table
More table pics...
Since we were having margaritas I used Patron Tequila bottles as bud vases
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my end of the summer tablescape.

Love outdoor dinner~ this is darling!
This was a lovely end of summer tablescape...and I especially like the way you used the Patron bottles for vases. You really went the extra mile to find flowers to use considering the heat.

I love it. Really like blue and yellow together. And.... you know I love tequila!!
Your outdoor table is so inviting. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Such a beautiful setting...the color scheme is peaceful and pleasing to see.
I love it. It is so inviting. And your patio is great. I'm glad the weather in Oklahoma is cooling down.
What a delightful place in which to dine!

Love the reflection that is on the glass tabletop! I also loved the first center piece the best--too bad it wilted!! I love the white plates too!
spindle cottage is the blog I use for my house stuff
Great tablescape ... and I'm trying to hang on to summer, but the temps are dropping in southern Illinois! I love lemons and your color combination is really nice. Hope you'll stop by to visit with me, too!
Neat ideas for a table setting by the pool.
Enjoyed my visit to your site for Tablescape Thursday.
Many Autumn Blessings to you,

so pretty! Using the patron bottle as a vase was genius!
I had margaritas yesterday, in honor or your tablescape!!!
What a cool looking table for a hot climate! The icey blues are very soothing as is the backdrop of your beautiful pool.
I enlarged each of your photos so I could appreciate the special details.
Very well done!!! :D
Oh how pretty -- love your do and your re-do too! This makes me want to grab a margarita and go back and look again.
