Shades of Blue, Reminiscent of the Seas Surrounding Beautiful Procida, Italy

Welcome to the 506th Tablescape Thursday! I had thought about putting this week's table out on the newly cleaned deck, but it was a bit too hot outside for that. It went from a cool morning where I had all the doors to the porch thrown wide open, to a toasty 86 degrees out on the porch later in the day.   I love it though, will take this any day over cold weather!   Once it … [Read more...]

Shell Chargers for a Coastal Themed Table Setting

This week's table setting turned out to be all about neutrals.   After all those hours (and sore fingertips) working on the shell chargers, I decided to take my cue from the colors in the shells/chargers for this week's … [Read more...]

Sand and Sea: Beach Themed Tablescape

I know summer is almost over, but I'm just not quite ready to let it go. I found some adorable shell candlesticks recently and put together this beach-themed table setting.     Found the sea-blue flatware at Pier 1 recently … [Read more...]
