Summer Travels Tablescape

One of the best parts of summer is the promise of visiting new and exciting places. Whether your travels take you across town or around the world, this enchanting summer tablescape will inspire you to turn everyday into an adventure.

Supplies:

- Large fold-out style maps
- Vintage style hand luggage or trunk
- Vibrant yellow flowers
- Small Vases
- Small Blanket
- Pair of binoculars
- Vintage Travel postcards, labels, or luggage tags
- Lanterns with candles inside


Instructions:

1. Place your vintage hand luggage or small trunk in the center of the table.

2. Put the small blanket inside the luggage, half folded and half spilling over the edge, as if you were in the middle of packing or unpacking.

3. Place the pair of binoculars on top of the blanket.

4. Partially unfold the travel map and allow it too to spill out over the side of the luggage. To keep the other half inside the luggage, you can place a small vase on top to anchor it down.

5. Tuck the vintage travel postcards around the base of the luggage with corners pushed under the suitcase (it will hold them in place and guard against the wind). Place a few inside the luggage, perhaps one under the binoculars and one under the vase.

6. If you have luggage labels or luggage tags, hang or adhere them to the piece of luggage, inside and out.

7. Place the vibrant yellow flowers in the vase inside the luggage, as well as scattered around the outside of the luggage in the remaining small vases.

8. Finally, add the lantern with candle inside next to the luggage for a finishing touch.
