The title of this post is
what Mr. B said when he saw this table put together.
He couldn't have
described it any better!
You may recognize the tablecloth from
this post.
Yes, it's a twin sheet
I purchased for $1.50!I topped it with a runner from the
as is section at Ikea.
The placemats were
purchased earlier in the month
during the I Love Thrifting Day
adventure for $1.50 for four.
I used our everyday Gibson dinner plates
topped with fun tropical fish salad plates
from Goodwill at .25 each!
The flatware is a recent
Cost Pus World Market find.
On sale and with a coupon they were
$1.04 each!
The cute bubbly glasses
were clearanced at the end of the
season at Kohl's.
They have fish and dolphins on them.
And yes, they are glass, not plastic!
Simple crisp white napkins
rolled and tied with twine
and then I hot glued a
star fish on the twine.
The centerpiece is
my tiered serving dish
from Ikea filled
with shells, sand dollars and starfish.
All were purchased on clearance
or at estate sales.
The tall candle sticks you've seen before
and were on clearance at Pier 1.
This is my favorite shell!
Look how it grew around a nail!
Doesn't it all make you
wish to be at the white sandy beaches
of Maui?
I was lucky enough to go
to Maui some years ago
with my girlfriend Suanne.
I'd love to be able to take Mr. B there someday.
To see his face as he is greeted by
a pretty young Hawaiian
miss as she wraps a lei
around his neck.
Someday!
Someday he will
be able to know the true
Maui Wowie experience!
I always share my tablescapes with
Kathleen at Let's Dish at Cuisine Kathleen
and
Marty at A Stroll Thru Life Table Top TuesdayClick here to see where else I may be partying this week.
AND
Don't forget to come by on Tuesday's
for my link party.
Kathe, another beautiful tablescape put together with thrifty finds and a little know-how!
ReplyDeleteA great tablescape, beachy and fun. Love the leis on the chairs. Yes, I want to go back to Hawaii - a true dream vacation spot. I was there when I was 21, many moons ago! xo
ReplyDeleteThe name is Perfect Mr. B!!!! Maui Wowie is sure a WOWZERS!! I want to kick my sandals off and enjoy some time there with you all! Looks great Kathe! Such a fun table..gosh your good!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and pretty tablescape!! I love the shells and those plates are adorable. Oh Maui would be fun to visit! I've been to Oahu! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteAawwwww, Kathe.....that's so sweet. Your hubby is contributing! :-) That shell that grew around the nail is really cool! I have never seen anything like that before. I guess I don't ever really think about how shells had living things in them at one time and that it's entirely possible to do something like that! You did a great, great job on the napkin embellishments!!! Don't mess with a girl and her hot glue gun! :-) I saw that flatware at World Market when I was in browsing around a couple of weeks ago and really wanted to buy it. Debbie at Words on Wheels and I were on a buying hiatus, though, so I left them there. Sigh! I love the glassware. It looks kinda 3-D!
ReplyDeleteGreat table, but I don't see any candlewick, just kidding.
ReplyDeleteWowie is right! Beautiful setting........Sarah
ReplyDeleteThis is a great table setting. So fun!! It makes me miss the beach! (And some great thifty finds too!!) Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteSo unusual and colourful. Love it. Very Beachy,makes me think of long, lazy holidays.x
ReplyDeleteThis table does make me wish I was back in Hawaii, even for a brief moment. I love all the treasures you have scored. You certainly have a great flair for making it all beautiful. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteWow !!! Outstandin, I can almost hear the waves in the background. Great job of putting it together.
ReplyDeleteVery island-y, and I love the blue water theme throughout. Perfect! I would be happy to go to Maui in January.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty tablescape! Great finds, too! I really like the fish plates and bubble glasses! I love finding deals at Goodwill and Kohls!! I've been in the "beach" decorating mood, too, lately! Check out my latest post! http://cairncottage.blogspot.com/2012/07/beachy-tablescape-reveal.html

ReplyDeleteYes, I want to go to Maui!! It's on my bucket list, hopefully one day. In the meantime, I love your tablescape! I really like that flatware!
ReplyDeleteUsing the three tiered serving dish for height and shell display is a great idea. I also have been in the beach mood this summer. Even when landlocked a oceany tablescape is able to tale you away.
