In my "summarizing" the house I set a table in the dining room. I found this gorgeous runner a few weeks ago at, where else, Home Goods and it jumped right into my cart. I knew could set a beautiful table using it as my inspiration! I filled my large faux clam shell with a lot of my shells, collected over MANY years!
The star fish on the ends of the runner are embellished with sequins and pearls!
When you enter our house and look to the right you will see the dining room. I think it is much more welcoming to have a pretty table set to welcome guests!
I don't have a large stack of dishes as I wanted to use these pretty shell plates.
The placemats have palm fronds and shells on them.
I have these "starfish" tea light holders too.
I am using my Grandmother's wine glasses again. They add a delicate touch to the table.
I thought I would show you the placemats. I have had these for years too.
I found these shell and driftwood candlesticks at Home Goods several years ago too.
Yesterday I went up to Lancaster county especially looking for a plain, simple garland that I could add to the table and embellish with some shells too!
I found just what I was looking for! I also found a faux pearl garland so entwined it with the green one. I love how the nubby starfish goes with the pearls on the runner and the garland!
I added some greens to the shell napkin ring. The rings were found at the place where I used to work many years ago too.
I hope you would feel welcomed if you came to visit me!
I also removed some of the things on this teeny server and placed the vase of flowers here.
Thanks so much for your visit. As I type this we are having a heat wave and when I got home tonight my Joe told me our air isn't working:(:( So, I am sweating and hoping they can come fix it tomorrow! I hope you are staying cool and enjoying your summer!
XO, Pinky
