Table Top Tuesday - Loving the beachy look, part 2

Happy Monday to You!

Hope you had a great weekend!

Mine was good but busy, but a very good busy tho.

Told you I was working on a surprise,  so Friday 

I spent most of the day looking for carnations in

different colors,  and

 Saturday I spent most of the day doing mini bouquets, 

My friend and her hubby came over for pizza and salad

in the evening, and we worked on putting the bows 

and ribbons on. We were happy with the outcome.

In the midst of all this we had to have an A/C service

come out cause our air would not go below 79 and I

felt it  was warm not hot, but I was concerned it would

get worse and start wilting the flowers, so I was rotating

them in and out of the fridge.  The A/C guy said he

 couldn't  find anything wrong with it, and thought it had

 to do with our thermostat,  so he did some adjustments

 on that,  but I am not convinced about that yet..............lol

Either it is the A/C or ME!  But it sure feels hot at

night when we are sleeping.......... Guess time

will tell.................

Sunday was our usual Sunday,  but it contained our

special surprise I told you about in my Thankful Thursday 

post (in case you missed it,  just scroll down passed

this post).  The surprise was...........To show honor and 

appreciation to our 5 Pastors wives. 

 My hubby has been an elder in our church for over 20

 years,  and was head elder the last 2 years,  so the 

elders have been talking about doing this for the last

few meetings,  so they decided to get it done, so he

got the blessing of bestowing their cards and gifts

 along with some help from 5 other elders who 

brought out the bouquets, and he did the speaking 

and used the scripture about the Proverbs 31 wife.

I thought he did an outstanding job,  and we hope it

really blessed the ladies,  they also got a standing

ovation that was totally spontaneous,  when they

were called to the platform.  What a blessing it

was to us to be able to participate in that!

After church we got our fav smoothie,  came home

took a nap and watched some Pastors on Sunday

evening as we were whipped!  But it was a 

very good whipped...............lol

Thought I would show you the beachy look I now

have in my dining room.  Course, did it weeks

back...............

And yeah,  that is a surf board,  it belongs to 

Scott,  it was in our garage so decided to haul

it in to go with my Coastal look...........lol

Also dragged in a big ol water bottle I have had out

there for years and tied this starfish tag on with

raffia,  and put some palmetto palms in there.

I found this cute lil tags at Target in the dollar

area,  a pk of 8 for a buck.............

They were my inspiration actually!

I have them all over these 2 rooms.

Dining and Family room.

Finally made it to the table top!!  lol

just figured I would show you the whole room.

As you know by now,  I collect white pitchers

and cream pitchers,  so decided to use these

3 favorites.

Same picture but done in colored pencil. 

 I really liked this picture!

Looks way better blown up, so you might want to click on it.

Remember the recycled yankee candle jar lids???

Well, here they are with some raffia tied around

them,  and some sand in the bottom with the

candle.  

The blue table runner is really a blue silvery scarf I found

at Ross for $5.00.  Loved how it looks...............

Shells, shells and more shells............
Can't be beachy without shells, right??

Love how the fringe is like strings,  thought that added to
the beachy look....................

Note, the lil starfish tag again!

The pitcher to the Right.

I just happened on these neat starfish
that I have seen all over blogland, and
wondered where to get some.  Michaels
had lil boxes w/3 starfish in them for
$2.00 but I got them for $1.00.

I really like them,  they are so neat!

Same pic with  a gradient map affect

 This is a lil stand sitting next to my china hutch 
in the dining room as well.
