Tablescaping Déjà Vu & the Blue Hour: Welcome to the 157th Tablescape Thursday!

You may feel like Bill Murray in the movie, Groundhog Day as you view the following tablescape.  In last week's Tablescape Thursday post, I mentioned I had created a tablescape on the porch and it somehow mysteriously moved itself right out on to the deck, turning into THIS romantic table setting.



Since the original table on the porch was still set, I decided to share it for this week...a little tablescaping  déjà vu .












Looking a bit familiar, isn't it? The chargers are different but the rest of the place setting is the same as the place setting from last week, HERE.  I'll post the directions for this butterfly napkin fold on either Friday or Saturday.  This has fast become one of my favorite folds of all time.  It really works well with this beautiful butterfly themed china.   Update:  Butterfly Napkin Fold Tutorial can be found, HERE.



The red flowers and stemware really pull the red from the china.



The butterfly votive holders seem made for this china.





Last week we peeked through this geranium to view our tablescape on the deck.



This week its blossoms surround the candles in our centerpiece.  I had already snipped all the flowers before I took this photo above.  This little geranium has been blessing me with a bounty of blooms all summer long.





A little candlelight...



The Blue Hour approaches...
