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?
