With warmer temps, who doesn't enjoy a taste of the tropics? We have worked hard to get our pool area in shape for summer. New Additions make it fun. Thank you for joining me for this fun Summer Tablescape Blog Hop. Many thanks to the lovely Rita from Panoply for organizing us all. I hope you will be inspired with 23 tablescapes. The links are listed at the bottom of this post.
If you are coming over from Carol's blog - Bluesky at Home, I bid you a big welcome.

I added these colorful leis on the back of each chair. We also had these chairs recently re-covered.
The menu is Chicken Teriyaki and white rice served in a pineapple shell. The starter is a bed of lettuce with a crab cake and vinaigrette. Dessert is Coconut Yum Yum.

Good Morning Linda, I love your tropical table, perfect for your resort-style living you have created around your pool and under the palapa! The plates with toucans and flamingo are so colorful and I love your centerpiece with the fruit, flowers and hurricanes with shells. Love the addition and pop of fresh citrus too. Your presentation of your Chicken Teriyaki with rice in the pineapple is beautiful and delicious! As always it’s a treat to join you at the table and hop with you. Happy Summer. ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a tropical paradise! Those plates with the tropical birds are perfect, and your centerpiece is lush and beautiful. The menu is perfect, too.

ReplyDeleteGood morning, Linda. I feel as if I have just visited a tropical paradise. I love color and you have provided the perfect tablescape for tropical living. The tropical centerpiece is just beautiful and the menu sounds delicious. Anyone would be happy to join you at this table. It is always a treat to blog hop with you. Happy Tuesday!

What a gorgeous trip to the tropics you've created Linda! The detail that goes into your tablescapes never ceases to amaze me! From the tropical fruit right down to the leis on the chairs. I had to share this with my daughter who has loved "pingo mingos" since she was 3. She's spent the morning browsing your site and is as much in love with your gorgeous home as I am! Thanks for all the inspiration you give to all of us! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteLove your tropical setting..So colorful..gorgeous..Have a happy day..
ReplyDeleteLinda, thank you for taking me on a virtual trip to the tropics! Although, I would so like to have a real seat at your table, poolside, dinning on your spectacular meal! You really go all out! When I went to DT they only had one toucan plate --- I wanted at least 3 to mix with last year's DT flamingo plates. You've inspired me to continue the hunt! Love how you expertly styled all the table details, including constructing that luscious centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteWhat guest wouldn't be thrilled to share in your tropical oasis and tablescape complementing it, Linda?! Lucky are the new neighbors. What a colorful display to transport, and the sound of the menu too. Love those plates and matching pillow slip you found, and the fruit, floral and shell centerpiece works great. Your chairs recovered look sharp. I dream of visiting your gardens and poolside one of these days. It truly is both a gardener's and, in summer, tropical paradise. Thanks for sharing it all, you & Paul have done a fabulous job continually upgrading. I'm so happy you're part of this hop to let others see it too.
ReplyDeleteWow, Linda, I feel like I've been to the Tropics at a five star hotel! Your table and pool area is over the top! Love the fresh fruit and flower runner full of beauty. Those plates are great! So many pretty colors.
ReplyDeleteYour company will feel wowed and blessed to enjoy your party. Menu sounds delicious.
Fun to see your creative talent on your table today for the blog hop.
Linda, your tropical table is the very cutest! I love the toucan plates and pillow case! Your plate stack is perfect because the bottom plates complement the tropical bird plates so well. I always enjoy your creativity, and I love how your beautiful home is like a resort! :D I know your neighbors enjoyed your pretty tablescape and treats.
ReplyDeleteLinda, you have a good eye for detail and making a beautiful impression with you table setting! The bold mix of colors is a treat for the eyes. I really like the mix of fresh fruit and flowers. So pretty :)
ReplyDeleteLinda!! I just got back from Hawaii yesterday - and your table takes me right back there!! What a beautiful array of all things tropical! All of the citrus, bright colors and lush greens is what makes this table say Aloha!! How fun!! I hope you have a wonderful summer and stay cool in that beautiful pool. It is always a pleasure to hop with you!!
ReplyDeleteWhat lucky neighbors to be invited to dine at your tropical themed table, Linda. The toucans, flamingos, fresh fruit and your fabulous menu will welcome them for sure!
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous table, Linda! You always inspire me. I love your use of the fruit in your centerpiece. It's such a fun touch!
ReplyDeleteBoy, it sure feels like you are in a tropical paradise in your lovely back yard. I have similar pineapple dishes and enjoy using them all summer! You are one clever gal!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great theme for a summer party! That's what I love about summer tablescapes -- they're so much fun! I love how you've combined colors, patterns, shapes and accent pieces for a table that your new neighbors will surely enjoy. The fruit and flowers make a fabulous statement for the centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, my sweet friend, after moving I am back here ! So glad, to see your wonderful posts again!
ReplyDeleteHAve a happy week,
Lots of Love, Claudia
Linda, you do truly have a tropical paradise to enjoy. I think you and Paul do an amazing job designing and decorating. I adore this table setting with all the colors that just pop out! Your table truly defines summertime. The menu sounds delicious and I love the presentation in the pineapple. Beautiful setting Linda. Have a wonderful summer......
ReplyDeleteThis could be one of my favorites, Linda! I'm guessing your new neighbors felt very welcomed!
ReplyDeleteLinda, your tropical theme is so cute. I know your new neighbors will love it. The bright colors are very festive and the toucans are so cute. I bet your delicious dinner will be appreciated, too.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am in such a party mood after seeing your gorgeous table. You must put a lot of work into this beautiful backyard that you can enjoy all season long. (I wish Wisconsin would have more pleasant weather to enjoy the outdoors. It would be such a pleasure to entertain outside more frequently.) I really enjoy seeing all the color and patterns to your table. I truly feel like I am in tropical paradise. I was so attracted to your toucan plate stack and lovely matching pillow. And the chicken filled pineapple has me so hungry. Enjoy your fun and festive table with your yum yum dessert. Sounds delicious too. Enjoy the summer.

Well, I know your new neighbors will feel more than a little welcomed when they leave the dinner party. As usual, everything is just gorgeous. Hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteLinda, what a treat to be able to sit at this tropical table and enjoy the feast. The fresh fruit included as part of the centerpiece is so evocative of the tropics. The setting by your pool is lovely. Really enjoyed the Flamingo plates which made me laugh. They are perfectly paired with the rattan placemats. Such an inviting presentation. Have a great week.
