Making a Splash

This table will be shorter on words than usual due to 

 conditions mentioned in my last post.

We just couldn't let the month of August slip by, though, 

without sharing a poolside table.

Backside view

It's a thrifty table. The shell edged dinner plates were a Goodwill find.  The deviled crab dishes were a wedding present.

We're not actually sure the origin of the large sea shells. A leather pouch full of them was found in my great grandmother's attic about 50 years ago. 

Stemware is Aurora Blue by Denby

The exterior napkin is handmade.

 (Fabric from JoAnn's)

I borrowed the shell flatware from my mother-in-law.

 I forgot to ask the pattern.

Place card beach chairs are actually Christmas ornaments. 

The centerpiece is supposed to look like random sprouts

 on a sand dune. 

We used yellow anemones and some succulents

 in a wavy bowl of sand. 

And that's about it.

Thanks for joining us.

And thanks so much for your notes, your patience,  and especially your prayers as I try to get my old perky self back. I truly appreciate them.
