Okay, so I've been on this shell and beach theme lately. It must be that Spring Break trip to Florida a couple of weeks ago. Today has been very busy - hardly a minute to take a break. So I am cheating a little bit and posting one of my favorite tables from a few months ago. I hope you will enjoy it (again! :-)

Ahoy, mates! Welcome to Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch! Today I am taking a short break from spring decorating to set an ocean inspired table. Friday is Mr. Panache's birthday and we are having a seafood feast! So in keeping with my menu I've gone a little coastal with this week's table.
Of course we couldn't have an ocean inspired table without lovely shades of blue. I am using four varying shades of Mr. Panache's favorite color. I have used two placemats layered one on top of the other. They are aqua and royal blue. The napkin is a medium blue-teal and the decorative glass candle plates are translucent turquoise.
I filled a hurricane with glass beads of clear, teal and aqua to help tie in the color scheme.
Invited some little sea creatures over to decorate my table. A cluster of Starfish and shells picked up on Clearwater Beach during the years I lived there were the perfect accents to my Ocean Breeze table.
A lovely bronze Starfish securely holds my napkins in place.
I found these blue and white clam shell coasters at Target. They add a touch of whimsy.
A silver plated shell-shaped serving dish holds more aqua glass beads and a Starfish.
I just got these two large metal lanterns from my Celebrating Home interior accents line. I love them. They are so sturdy and versatile.
I love the way Vanilla Creme candles glow and flicker. The little candle plates were a find at Everything's A Dollar store.
I picked up three styles. I like this one. It looks like a flower or if you use your imagination, a Starfish.You may remember my Shell salad plates from my Florida Sunset post a few weeks ago. This picture also gives you a better look at the layered placemats.
This candle plate is shaped like a daisy. My Eternity silverware add shine and sparkle in the candlelight. I hope you've enjoyed the Ocean Breeze. Until I see you again,

Your table is a spray of sea air! I love your napkin rings. I have been having problems finding ones I really like now. ICurrently I am using individual silk flowers wrapped around my napkins. Thank you for sharing your lovely table.

I love everything about it...it's so elegant and yet so warm and inviting! I just love the color combinations that you have used...love the periwinkle blue mixed with the aqua...gorgeous!!! Your place settings...the centerpiece...all so very beautiful!!! It was this very tablescape that inspired me to attempt my own hand at doing one! I just found the dishes and now I'm planning the details! You're such an inspiration, my friend!!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful coastal tablescape with us...

This tablescape is so lovely. I just love it! Hope when you were at Clearwater Beach, you went to Crabby Bill's to eat. My favorite place to eat when I am visiting in the area. Have been also to the Indian Rock Beach location.
