Seaside Summer Picnic Tablescape

What's more Summer than going to the beach for a seaside picnic? Here on the north coast of California, we have literally hundred of miles of sandy beach (along with miles of rocky cliffs if I was honest....) to enjoy the Summer sun. Pat set this week's table with that theme in mind.

As Pat said when she finished setting the table, the only thing missing is coats.....it is currently 53 degrees outside and very windy at 1:00 in the afternoon - a bit chilly for a picnic, I think......

Flatware is "Radiant" by Noritake

Pat found these beach-themed melamine plates on sale at Bed, Bath, and Beyond several years ago

Glassware is from Pier 1 years ago

We have had these cute beach-chair place holders for years

Pat used the grass decoration on the plate as the inspiration for the centerpiece
