Coastal waters

Driving into the wonderful waters off the coast before the warmth fades into the cooler fall!

The table contains the beautiful creatures swimming in the sea!

The cork place mats have blue anchors plus blue flatware.

Tremendous shell rim in rows along the place

plate.

The first sea creature is a sea horse.

The next creature is a crab.

The third creature is a star fish.

The fourth is a giant lobster. 

The dinner plates came from Pier 1. 

Sea horse candle holders hold the center of table together.

Blue and white fish swim on the table.

Blue fish helps focus on centerpiece.

Both blue and white fish serve as votive candle holders to accent the centerpiece.

A BIRD PARTY

Let's enjoy a Spring time treat of bird watching.

We are having a view down the length of the table.

A beautiful scene of the center of the table.

A closer view of the large yellow candleholders and candles.

The lovely teapot, creamer, and sugar bowl on a scalloped stand.

A teapot with a tree branch and birds perched on it adds to the red birds on the teapot and stand.

To the right of the centerpiece is the yellow candleholders.

Again on the left of the centerpiece more yellow hues.

Oh! Darling colorful birds perched on the small antique bird cage!

The lovely place setting is perfect for a May lunch or dinner.

This gorgeous dessert plate is Spode's "Aviary Birds".

Kate Spade's salad and dinner plates are Rutherford's "Circle Yellow".

Gold flatware and yellow napkins with colorful flowers. The gold beaded napkin ring adds glitter!

The "Aviary Birds" by Spode cup and saucer will serve hot tea.

Heavily hand-cut goblet with a carved stem will serve lemon flavored water.
