~~~She Sells Seashells....~~~

It all started with a placemat. I found these placemats several years ago, I THINK at Steinmart, but they only had 4. However, I loved the beautiful design and the fact that they had shells on them. So I have set a table, in the dining room, with SOME of my shells.  I used my clear bubble goblets that remind me of the bubbles in the ocean. Brown sugar "sand" is in the bottom of the goblet with some TINY shells and a starfish.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_hZ4kAQhID1XUgvVzN4bmMoHNljecuJ0vlMEwByu0IcrrKYozqPeRvKl74KD4HbnVi3k-skySwznAXM6j3FLRQi_7fsAIX0oZU9hgFil_4VD69UWuWWwtJsUc3ExBh-ZTpk-BmYyxvSG8/s1600/IMG_1104.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_hZ4kAQhID1XUgvVzN4bmMoHNljecuJ0vlMEwByu0IcrrKYozqPeRvKl74KD4HbnVi3k-skySwznAXM6j3FLRQi_7fsAIX0oZU9hgFil_4VD69UWuWWwtJsUc3ExBh-ZTpk-BmYyxvSG8/s640/IMG_1104.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The placesetting is simple today. Not a large stack of dishes as I wanted the placemat and shells to star. My everyday green dinner plate is placed on an angle with a scalloped:) white salad plate and a single shell.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wPjsU3_lVk9WN0FaG-Nn44UMpuxclLu8rtxDoSov_fjQSld3E_exNF1_1pfl-Fp8LgqC8itpXP4p3WJ2bGvsLFQp_nqM20CIkFPkW-ouAHwNeD6ilhODFiuLKYAAunGM07lgt_2Ncj3D/s1600/IMG_1076.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wPjsU3_lVk9WN0FaG-Nn44UMpuxclLu8rtxDoSov_fjQSld3E_exNF1_1pfl-Fp8LgqC8itpXP4p3WJ2bGvsLFQp_nqM20CIkFPkW-ouAHwNeD6ilhODFiuLKYAAunGM07lgt_2Ncj3D/s640/IMG_1076.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The shell votives are at each place setting.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0JpJ8o5UrYZCwJH236IWMtBsWziLgoo4fCEW69HB4q6OZbrKMkC0UNqsdDikhIM9lVV8AnCPMkYu4wSjcP3R2MWuYz85f1FclnbjhniOi6gcBTSxTsYsPYMcGP4oh1rN72V-RbsVPSlQ_/s1600/IMG_1077.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0JpJ8o5UrYZCwJH236IWMtBsWziLgoo4fCEW69HB4q6OZbrKMkC0UNqsdDikhIM9lVV8AnCPMkYu4wSjcP3R2MWuYz85f1FclnbjhniOi6gcBTSxTsYsPYMcGP4oh1rN72V-RbsVPSlQ_/s640/IMG_1077.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I found these new candle holders last year at Home Goods.
