French Seaside Tablescape ~

The summer season is
officially here and it’s time to

hit the water. At our
house, Summer comes
by land or by
lake…so I’ve

set the summer table for
a little
apres beach time

fun! Our summer table
is relaxed and
earthy with a French

seaside vibe.
Rattan chargers

and
silver

starfish set the scene. At each
place setting,
ticking totes…

that my Sister
Linda

and I made,
hold petite

breadsticks and fragrant sprigs
of rosemary from my garden.
A simple cardstock

menu card featuring
‘fruits de mer’
holds cutlery
and

French lavender.
Our old,
wooden

French bottle carrier,
filled with glass

& shells makes
for an

earthy centerpiece.
Cork & shells

top a white
French pedestal

and petite olive trees add
to the French

feel. A very
old,

French baguette basket
is filled with

grissini &
a vintage mason jar

holds shells from
our vacations.
Just beyond the table,

I dressed our
hutch, sans

glass & doors,
with a bottle

garland, inexpensive
flowers,
linen and

shells.

The summer table is
set….

would you

come
to

to dinner?
