At the Beach

This week I'm taking Kathleen's challenge to set a table with "At the beach" as the theme.

I was happy for the chance to use the Sonoma Life & Style Seaside dinnerware and glassware I got on clearance last summer at Kohl's.

They had a variety of square and round dinnerware pieces to choose from, as well as the sculpted shell pieces.

The aqua glass vase filler, shells and resin starfish came from Big Lots.  I glued some of the shells onto wooden craft napkin rings.   One of these days I'll find some affordable aqua flatware, but today we'll use the San Remo by Hampton Signature.   The napkins are DII and the chargers are by Jay Imports, both from Amazon.

I had these candle holders in my cart at Amazon for months, but they were a little pricey for as seldom as I'd use them.   Then one day they notified me that "an item in your cart has been reduced."  They were about two-thirds off, so I snatched them up.  They're Baroque, but when I look at them I see seashells and waves and kelp swaying underwater.   I just checked, and they've gone back up in price. 

The glasses are full of underwater bubbles.  I like how the aqua shells and starfish are formed separately and pressed into the molten glass.

I borrowed the "treasure chest" basket from the sun room.  I have no idea where it came from, but I'd guess it probably held flowers from the florist.  I usually keep a potted plant in it.

The "blue hour" reflected in the pool...

Dinnertime!  I hope you enjoyed your day at the beach.

I'll be joining Cuisine Kathleen for Let's Dish, and Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
