Beach themed Father's Day Table 2013

Morning Sweet Friends,

                         Hope you had......                    

           a very nice weekend.

Ours was nice, but quiet.......we did watch a movie and we 

finally got our lawn mowed on Sat.,  it rained every night, 

so we couldn't do it before.......we love getting it out of the 

way on the weekdays, so we can just enjoy the weekend.

It wasn't a total loss..........we did get some sun while we

were out there, so that was nice. 

 We did go out for a lil while on Sat. nite to get a smoothie,

and just to get out of the house.  Then we ran to Michael's.

Found one of the spica glitter pens I told you about in my 

Thankful Thursday post, last week.

Anyway, was excited about that, can't wait to find just the

right thing to use it for.

Then went to Bed Bath and Beyond and Kohl's just to

look around a bit,  ran into some friends and talked with

 them for a shortwhile.  It was just fun to get out for while.  
Sunday was church and our usual restful relaxing day.
 when we don't have company.

Thought I would show you my hubbies Beach 

themed Father's day table.  I really enjoy 

using a theme myself.

If you would

enjoy seeing the pics larger,  all you need

to do is click on one and they will all enlarge.

That is a nice feature they have added 

recently, cause you use to have to click on

each one separately.

If you remember I got the idea for this tablescape

 from some napkins I found at the Christmas store 

months ago, but had forgotton all about until all 

of a sudden I remembered them,  right when I

 was thinking well Lord, what am I gonna do for

a table, haven't even thought about that.....

and those napkins came right to mind.

shew.....that was sure a blessing! 

It was nice the napkins had 2 different sides to them.

This was the first side.  I am using my corelleware

a lot these days,  since all my other white dishes got

 broken in the china hutch crash. I really love these 

dishes tho,  cause they are so light,  and we have had 

them over 6 months and there is not a scratch on them. 

That would not be so if they were the pottery or stone-

ware type, that was one of the things I disliked about

 them, also the heaviness as well.  Course, they do

have pretty edging,  I loved that about them.

This was the other side of the napkin.  Just placed a

shell and some almond joy midgets in the place setting.

Since there were only 5 of us,  it left the end of the table

empty,  so gathered up all my Beach stuff and made a

vignette at the end of the table, as well,  as a center piece

which you will see coming up.

With colored pencil affect

These cute lil dishes were a gift from my Dee

 and Jerry when they went on a trip to the Bahamas,

  so wanted to use them as well.  Used one as a

butter dish,  and you will see how I used the other

2,  again coming up!

The vignette from the opposite side of the table.

Took this in the early morning to see how it 

looked with all the candles lit.  See the star

fish dishes,  thought they made a nice lil

candleholder.  I used the glasses I did,

because they have a beading down the

 side which reminds me of a starfish.

You would have to enlarge the pic to see

it tho.......................

With the candles ablaze.......this was from the morning too.
A test flight, so to speak...............lol

Here is a closeup of the centerpiece.  

This was taken from the oposite side!

This is in the late afternoon with the lights on

Love the candle light,  but it just wasn't dark enough to
 enjoy them the way you would if it was at least a lil dark out.

Oh well.................so much for ambiance,  course as
it got darker and we sat there talking we did get to 
enjoy  them some.......................

With Posterized affect

Well............The Parties Over......................

And we just let the candles burn on...................

So thankful you could come by and hope you leave 
a comment to let me know you were here, 
I so enjoy that!
