Seashell Christmas Table

The seaside, sand, and shells were the inspiration for this week's Christmas table. Pat used a Santa dressed in beautiful light blue velvet and white faux fur as the centerpiece and added fishing net, shells and white trees.

The table

Wooden chargers hold inexpensive blue coupe shaped dinnerware from Ross that match the color of Santa's coat

These driftwood chargers are perfect for a beach themed table

Shameless Self Promotion:  Pat and I are going to do our annual "Month Long Tablescape Celebration of Santa" this year on our other blog, Table For One (Here). We do it every year but do not always "publish" the results. We select a different Santa each day from our collection as the inspiration and set the table using different dishes, flatware, etc. We have lots of fun doing it and decided to share the results this year.
