This week I have been getting all of my shell collection out and placed in different spots around the house for summer. I thought I would set a new Summer table in the dining room. As you know I keep this table set all the time as a nice greeting for our guests. The table started with these place mats that are the only new thing this year. I loved the coral and shells on the and the colors! This post is a little picture heavy but I took pics in daylight and at night.
I tried to use all the colors that are in the place mat. The blue wine glasses, turquoise votive holders, and different shades of blue and turquoise in the dishes.
I got this extra large clam shell at the place where I used to work, years ago. I filled the bottom with plastic then added many of the shells and coral I have collected for MANY years.
My Napolean Bee flatware is a stapple for summer.
Turquoise candle holders and LED candles flank the large shell.
I gathered a blue abstract designed napkin and a white one that is trimmed in blue with my shell rings.
I also added a few other shells down the runner.
Blue dinner plate, square salad plate rimmed with raised fish, and a shell plate for dessert.
My shell pillows are many years old but have held up very well.
Since the candles don't have an actual flame I placed a small starfish on each one too.
The S and P.
Four different designs on the napkin rings.
Thanks so very much for your visit. Not much has been happening during this HEAT we have had but it FINALLY broke yesterday and it was delightful to have temps in the 70's!!!! That after 3 100 degree days:( that were part of the 3rd heat wave.
XO, Pinky
