    Oh so pretty. The apricot and gray is gorgeous. Love the shell and the fish shapes and your serving silver is stunning. How great to use the 3 tier server also. Beautifully done. Thanks for joining the party. Hugs, Marty

    I absollutely love what you did here. The pink and grey color scheme is so neat, and I love all of your vintage pieces. Those shells! OH, those shells! If they go missing, you won't have to look further than a magpie's nest. ;-)

    And I love the coral handled serving pieces. Just so neat. I'm ready to go to the beach now, and the good news is, I don't live far away! :-)

    Hope you'll join me at my blog. I'm having a china giveaway, and the winner will be able to win something in their favorite pattern.

    Happy Tablscape Thursday...

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

    Stunning table -- and great use of vintage lovelies to create such a pleasing whole! The Depression glass added such a wonderful touch!
