table by the sea

today i love..
dried hydrangeas..driftwood..rattan..shells..stripes..fishing floats..jars & candles, mixed together as though they were washed up on the shore, for a coastal tablescape. 










i've had the hydrangeas for weeks now, picked from a white flowering plant. the green flowers, picked before they turn white seem to dry well.

have a great week!

    Just lovely Cheryl! Did you make that heavy shell garland? I like it because it's not whimpy. ;)

    I live a few miles from the ocean, but daydream about living where I can see it, hear it, and smell it. You tablescape transported me not only to the beach, but to a warm summer day.

    Beautiful.
    All the best,
    Erin

    I have total "dish envy". Your white dishes are just spectacular. I love the shape. One of the niceties of life is sitting down to a candlelit dinner with beautiful dishes each night.
