Back at the first of the year I adopted “make everyday special” as my motto for 2024. Still making it a point to live by that motto, I turned my garden table into a floral oasis for a cozy outdoor dinner.

I cut flowers from my wildflower patch and added a few candles to old jelly jars.

My “ugly” table saved from a shed that was torn down makes the perfect garden table. Normally it holds the day’s garden harvest. This evening it became a beautiful dining table in the garden.

Jelly jars held candles for light and the floral stems twirled in the wind.

Pure summer magic.

As the sun went down, it was even more magical. Remember my garden arch fairly lights? They were the perfect backdrop as our outdoor dinner came to an end.

A perfect summer evening and a simple way to make an ordinary day special.
