Memories of the Gulf.... Beach Theme  Summer Tablescape.

Please feel free to leave a comment at the end of the post.  I read each and every one.  I love comments!

This was a fun table to do.  Brought us great memories of our vacation in Florida.  Wonderful memories of our family.  I would have liked to have done this tablescape outside, but it was too windy the day of photos.

 Each place setting has several layers.  Bottom layer is a fishnet, with an aqua crocodile leather-like print placemat on top, next a silver coral placecmat,   Now to the dishes, a silver scalloped charger plate , with a white scalloped plate on top.  An aqua blue wavy salad plate and my favorite, a pearlescent star fish on top! 

 I made the napkin rings from a spray of crystal flowers from Z Gallerie.  I cut each stem, formed them into a circle and wrapped with floral tape.  I love how they turned out!  

A Godiva chocolate completes the setting.  Every dish shape or color reminds me of the ocean. 

Closeup of the top plate with the treat.  I always like to give a treat, gift bag/box or Christmas Cracker at all my dinners.  I especially love the Christmas Crackers, not just for Christmas,  they are making them for all holidays.  Everyone, especially the adults love to pull the ends and make the pop sound.  Inside there is a paper crown, joke and small prize.  The way everyone gets so excited you would think they were receiving jewels....

  
Centerpiece base is an aluminum tray from "The Emporium" at Thanksgiving Point.  I filled the tray with the whitest sand I could find and loaded it with lots of beach inspired items.   

Close-up of the fork detail.  It looks like the sea to me as well.  It is a sold out pattern.  Cache by Yamazaki.  They do have this pattern in the gold accent still available.

Photo of the left side of the silver look aluminum tray.  Tray is loaded with my favorite Martha by Mail Candles.  Sea glass in all sizes and shapes.  Seashells, white and aqua crystal flowers, that look like sea creatures to me.  One tall ceramic lantern from Pottery Barn and 2 aqua buoy's from there as well.  Each had a wax battery operated candle in them that was set with a timer.

Right side of tray.

This photo is a closeup of a few of my Martha Stewart by Mail Candles.  The catalog is now closed so I am so glad I got these before it was too late.  They were made in France with old molds exclusively for Martha's catalog.

The list of stores I purchased these items at are in part; World Market, Z Gallerie, Z.C.M.I, Tai Pan, Home Goods, Walmart, Home Depot, Downeast Home, and Pottery Barn. 

I love comments.  Please leave a comment.I will be posting this on Between Naps on the Porch Tablescape Thursday.
