Sailboat/Beach table for Father's Day 2014

Happy Wednesday Sweet Friends,

So how has your week been going, 

so far?? Having fun with your kiddos,  

for those that have them home from

 school.  Or doing some traveling and 

vacationing or just enjoying the nice

warm days............

We are enjoying very warm mornings and very cloudy

afternoons with rain,  but not complaining cause those

clouds and rain make the temps bearable.  lol

Our lil darling is sleeping but will probably be waking

up here pretty soon,  so hoping I can get this post

finished first............lol

So it's a race against the clock!   

Thought I would show you our Father's Day table for

 this year. We had a sailboat and beachy tablescape!

The idea came from these cute napkins I picked up at 

the Christmas store some months back.  This is beginning

to sound like a redundant theme.  I have to say I find some

really cute napkins there.........lol

Decided since the napkins already looks rather

whimsical,  that maybe I could make some

sailboats for the centerpc.  

So looked it up online and found a tutorial

so made this lil  paper boat.........and it wasn't 

really all that big for a centerpc and I had trouble

getting it to stand up once I put the sail on, so

that wasn't working...................so I was thinking

okay,  Lord what can I do so a great idea came

to me,  that I knew my hubby would love cause

he is very nostalgic,  so decided to incorporate

some pics from our beach vacation last year.

Just didn't know how I was gonna do it.

Knew I was gonna use the above placemats that

I use on my kitchen table in the mix already along

with my white corelle ware, since it is the only

white dishes I have,  other than the salad plates

from the other dishes that got broken.

So here is the place setting.  Was just gonna use

the silverware as the sail,  but then later decided

to add the napkin as the sail.

Used the placemat in the centerpc. but had planned

originally to put them under the plates.......

Also borrowed this bowl with candle from my

coastal living room...........as the high point of the

centerpiece

Then I had seen somewhere years back how someone had
 used clear glasses, goblets I think they were to display
 pictures,  so thought that would work great.

So printed some pics on paper cause that worked better
for them to cling to the glass.  This one was facing my
place at the table.

This one was facing Scott

This one facing Megan

This was facing hubby,  

and this one was facing Susan,  so we had Dee
and Jerry here too,  only in picture......sniff sniff....lol

The other pics were just different shots of the ocean,
beach and sunrises.  Then I just added some candles
and shells to the mix.

From one end of the table

From the opposite end,  looking into our
living room.

an overview

overview of the centerpiece

I did use my sailboat and it didn't fall over
once,  think I managed to get the skewer
stuck in the weave of the placemat!  lol

A little sign to hang over the table.
This was an actual picture we took while at
the beach and I just did a posterized affect on it.
It will probably become a card front for a guy!!  lol

and there you have it!!

Everyone seemed to enjoy seeing the pictures,
and it was a good reminder of what a fun time
 we had last year,  and made me want to
 go to the beach now..........lol

Maybe next year cause this year we are
going to Asheville instead..........

So glad you could drop by, and
 hope you enjoyed your visit,  and
 would love to hear from you if you 
have the time.
