Lighthouse Tablescape

It's been a busy summer so far. I've finally put the paintbrushes down long enough to tablescape. Yippee!




Plain wooden napkin rings from Michaels. I adhered a starfish to each with a pop dot.



The blue chargers, from Lenox, were purchased inexpensively at a consignment shop.
The red dinner plates are from Pier 1, many years ago.
Lighthouse plates & blue bubble goblets are from Christmas Tree Shop.
My old red flatware (an engagement gift some 20 years ago.)



Lantern from Marshalls/Home Goods.
Lighthouse tea light holders from Christmas Tree Shop.
I can't remember where the lighthouse spreaders came from or the metal chair...I've had them forever.



Joining Susan's Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.



Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I really appreciate your taking the time to visit me.

    Gina - that is sooo cute! I really like your blue stemmed glasses and the square lighthouse plates. You did good! Now get back to painting! ... awww I'm just kiddin!
    Actually you deserve a break. Put your feet up and have a tall glass of lemonade or refreshing iced tea!
