When I changed out the mantle and hearth for summer, I did the coffee table too. I actually just realized that I shared the mantle but not the hearth. So, I will share that tomorrow! I have a large collection of shells, as I have been collecting them for over 30 years. I love every one of them, and enjoy using them in my décor in the summer, even though we are 2 hours from the beach:) This first shell is definitely a favorite.
I have this wonderful piece of blue coral that I have had for YEARS.
I found this candle holder at Home Goods this year and couldn't resist it. The nubby glass reminds me of the nubby starfish I have. I have an LED candle in it and a starfish on top!
I only have ONE hydrangea bloom right now and could find none at the grocery, so these faux ones are temporarily here.
Everything is gathered on a textural tray.
You all know I adore this pillow! I found it at Burlington Coat Factory several years ago and are you ready....it was $6.99!!!!! I couldn't grab it fast enough and will never get rid of it.
I found this jar/vase at another shop and wanted it specifically to use as a vase for hydrangeas.
I filled in the vase with some white faux hydrangeas cause I thought it was too sparse with just the blue.
Thanks so much for your visit. I hope you are staying cool where you are. We have had a few very nice days (low 80's) but the heat and humidity is returning Wed. I used to LOVE the heat of summer and basking in the sun, but now I can't take too much. I guess I really AM getting old:)
XO, Pinky

Beautiful Pinky.....love the blues of summer!....I cannot handle the heat anymore either....as a kid I used to be at the beach all day....now?....I need an umbrella!!!
ReplyDeleteThe blue coral is very unique! I don't think I've ever seen one. I don't blame you for holding on to it all these years.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of super hot weather either. It sucks the life out of me.
Pinky I have never seen blue coral. It is gorgeous. Your blue goldfish pillow truly was an amazing find! Thank you so much for joining the gathering at Thoughts of Home on Thursday.
