Under the Apple Tree - Summer Tablescape

Planted in the 60's our apple tree "weeps" (like a willow) to where you can stand under it and feel as if you are under an outdoor canopy.

So for my family I set up this little tablescape under the apple tree.



Our everyday plates and a whimsical table cloth.


Light napkins to draw out the yellows and golds.

It has been a little cooler this week so I though some hot apple cider sounded nice for this scape.


I put the candles in wine glasses to shield them from any wind.

Ahh, how nice to enjoy the shade/protection of your apple tree and relax at your fabulous tablescape! The blue dishes go so well with your tablecloth. I like the candles in the glasses, it is hard to keep them lit when even a small breeze blows them out!
