I've added a few more beach touches around the house this week. Most of these things you have seen before, just in different locations. I kept the long silver tray that I used for Easter decorating on the coffee table and simply changed out the items on it. The starfish I made a few years ago...Martha Stewart glitter and a little glue. The silver cloche has a favorite shell resting in sand that came to me from Rhonda @ Shellbelle's Tiki Hut. A sea urchin candle adds a little more white to the vignette.
You can see the base of my glass palm tree and another candle with shells "floating" in water.
This is a new favorite. I love dragonflies and I love the colors of the sea. When I saw this piece of pottery Saturday at a local artisan show, I knew it was coming home with me.
My little reminder to "breathe" from my daughter!
My candlestick "redo" with an orb the
color of the ocean perched on top.
This table is always so hard to photograph.
It really looks better when you
aren't looking down on it, but you get the idea!
I am joining Marty @ A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday,
Kim @ Savvy Southern Style for Wow Us Wednesdays and
Kathleen @ Faded Charm for White Wednesday.
Please visit our wonderful hostesses this week!

The dragonfly dish is stunning! :D
Very pretty Sue, I love it! And I'm very fond of your daughter's message, could probably use that one myself:@)
I love the summery colors....and that little dragonfly dish....so pretty.
This makes me long for a walk on the beach!

Gorgeous images Sue. The colors are wonderful!
I really like your beach vignette - nice job. I need to change up some things around here, but just can't get to moving.
Sue,
Thanks for you sweet comment this morning! I hope to get some "destruction" photos up tomorrow! Love your beach theme table! I'll have to look for a small round silver plate to put under my cloche... your's is so beautiful!

If we can't be at the seashore, we need to bring the shore to our homes here in the midwest. Love it!
Making me miss the coast! But, nice to bring a bit back inside with you!
Love your coffeetable, and of course the silver and the cloche had me drooling. Such a beautiful vignette. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
I love a little bit of a beach theme and you have it nailed, Sue! Your vignettes are lovely!
XO,

I'm so glad I included that Florida sand in your package! I think it is so cool that you included it in your vignette, so happy I could bring some beachiness to your home, lol.
I love dragonflies also, what is it about them that we find so enchanting? I'm always so happy when one decides to land and just have a look around at my garden. Maybe they remind me of fairies, yes, I do believe that's it!
Hugs sweet friend!
The tray is such a pretty backdrop for the silver and shells. I LOVE the cloche!
I need to start collecting pretty shells. They are very lovely!

I love the *beach look* and tried a little of it a couple yrs ago. For some reason, it just didn't FIT out here in dry, windy, West Texas, where there's no water to speak of for hundreds of miles.
I probably just ought to go gather up some tumbleweeds and dirt and spread it all over the house. Oh WAIT...there IS dirt all over the house.
We had a h** of a sandstorm yesterday and the day before and today and tomorrow.....and I am ready to MOVE.
oops...got so worked up I forgot to say your things of the sea are beautiful....and, yep,
JUST BREATH.....
you won the giveaway!!!!!! email me or linda with your addres!!!! :)
It's a good thing when the beach theme is takin' over!!! So lovely. Candle with shells in water is neat.
Time to go to the beach!
I love everything! That dragonfly is wonderful...it actually looks like it's tail is dipped in water.
Oh...by the way...Brooke e-mailed me that you won the bag on her give away...congratulations! I'll send it out tomorrow!!
I am loving the beach theme. It's just so calming to me. Now if only I could live at the beach :-)
So pretty and summery Sue! I hope you have a truly wonderful Mother's Day!
xo, Andrea
Wish I were at the beach right now! Everything looks lovely ~ as usual. I like your front porch decor too and yes, geraniums are a favorite of mine. I normally have them in red, however, I haven't see any really healthy plants this year. I know it's been fun for you to have your daughter home...and to have the grands visit too. They are adorable!
Hope you enjoy the weekend and just take time to relish in the moment with your daughter.
