Last of Summer Sailing Tablescape

Our Niece Maya was tasked with designing and setting this week's tablescape. Her inspiration came from a set of place mats she found in our collection that hasn't been used in a very long time. For the dinnerware, she chose "Shell" by Otagiri and teal blue crackle glassware from Pier1.

Where it came from:

Blue Sailboat Place Mats - from Tuesday Morning years ago

Glass Beaded Charger - from Pier 1 eight or nine years ago

Dinnerware - "Shell" by Otagiri from a local second hand store long out of business

Flatware - "Nautical" by Towle from Amazon eight years ago (but still produced)

Glassware - "Teal Blue Crackle" from Pier 1 several years ago

Hemstitch Steel Blue Napkins - from Pier 1 years ago

Baby Blue Satin Napkin Liners - a gift from our Niece

Silver Starfish Napkin Rings - from Tuesday Morning years ago

Stainless Steel and Wood Lantern, Netting, Most of the Floats - from Michael's five or more years ago

Thoughts of Paris Tablescape

Our great-niece, Maya, came up with this week's tablescape. She used cork board Parisian-style place mats as the inspiration for the design and then set the table using modern, clear glass dinnerware by Pasabahce and black flatware and glassware to finish it.
