Casual Dinner At The Beach

By

Okay you got me!  I am really not at the beach…a girl can dream!  I had to show off my recent wins.  I won this fabulous sand pail from Low Tide High Style, and isn’t it just the cutest thing?  I also won these adorable place card bubbles from Maureen at Inglenook Decor. These glass bubbles have a hole to hold flowers and a slot for the place card or pictures. I think this is the greatest idea!  I have never won anything in my life and now I get two wins in one week. Thank you both for these wonderful giveaways.

Sorry about the poor quality of this picture. but I had to show you a photo of me diving with the stingrays

My table is set for a casual dinner with a beach theme. My new sand pail is holding a beautiful piece of white coral and the tall glass vase is filled with water and a sea fan. The water magnifies the sea fan and floating candles are also placed in the vase. I have used an antique ships lantern, telescope and large glass float to set the beach mood.

I absolutely adore these wood charges from Pier One. Hubby bought me these for my recent birthday.  The dishes are from JC Penneys Chris Madden collection.  I love them because they are so versatile and can be mixed with so many of my other dish collections.

I am linking up with  Marty at  A Stroll Thru Life  for Table Top Tuesday.

    I had to laugh because prior to "Blogland" all I ever won was FOOD! Hams, Turkeys and Cheese…..and although nice, not too personal!

    Enjoy your goodies and thanks for sharing!!
