My third tablescape!
Setting the table in our sunroom today was so much fun with one of the most gorgeous spring days to embrace northwest Iowa. With temps in the mid 50's, no wind and lots of sunshine -- the ice which covered the lake just two days ago is almost gone!
While I was setting the table up today, I listened to the Canadian Geese flying overhead as well as the many birds singing outside. The call of a Loon even echoed over the lake. Loons are only here for a short time and easy to miss.
To coincide with the arrival of spring on the lake, I decided to go with a seashell tablescape.
 |
| I like keeping everything light and airy when setting the table in the sunroom. |
 |
| Blues and greens against the lake in the spring. |
 |
| I picked these dishes up a few months ago. |
 |
| My flatware is Oneida "Julliard" -- we received all of it as wedding gifts 24 years ago. |
 |
| Ceramic seashell napkin rings |
 |
| Salad plate in "sea foam" |
 |
| Dinner plate in white. The shells are raised on the dishes. Love these dishes! |
 |
| Seashell placemats. I only use a round or shaped placemat on a round table. |
 |
| I just picked up this stemware at TJMaxx. Same glasses are also sold at Horchow/Neiman Marcus. |
 |
| Glass stones in the bottom and seashells surround the candle. |
 |
| Pewter fish holds the little picks each with a design on the top. These were a gift from my mother many years ago. |
 |
| Side table holds a giant seashell with faux sea glass. |
 |
| The view from our sunroom over the lake. Ice is gone and the sparkling open water is back! |
 |
| For those that read "Between Naps on the Porch" this sign might look familiar. The moment I saw this in Susan's blog, I looked it up and found out where to buy it and it was here in two days! One of my very favorite songs; and summer breezes are the best. |
 |
| As always... Holly likes to help! |
 |
| Happy seashell spring!! |
