A Silver Sea Setting

According to the news, most of the country is experiencing a heat wave.  Now, I'm not complaining about the heat, I prefer summer to winter any day.  But it can get downright uncomfortable out there, so today we are inside with cool silvers and blues. 

The mirrored chargers remind me of the glassy waters of the ocean.  The runner is a Pottery Barn purchase.  The cool blue color work well with the napkins I purchased a while back at the beach.

The plates were purchased at the beach Home Goods store, and have a faint tint of blue. 

The shell placecard holders were purchased at the local antique mall.

The centerpiece is a silver coral candleholder, with silver pillars tied with ribbon and pearls.  Silver shells are scattered on the "sea" runner.

The silver bottles are another Home Goods purchase, and have different shell toppers.

I used my silver goblets, which were my mom's and a crystal iced beverage with a silver rim.  You can also see the silver goblets used here.

Another silver shell candleholder with a silver pillar, silver shell napkin rings...

and lots of silver shells along with silver mercury glass votives.

Another view

As night approaches,

and the sun goes down,

a quiet calm settles on the ocean~

Nocturnal beauty, with only a faint breeze to stir the waters,

the moon, quietly rising in an inky black sky

highlights the crest of each tranquil wave.

As we sit down, we give thanks for the beauty and serenity of nature

and all the treasures of the sea.

Thanks for visiting with me, hope you'll come back soon!!  I appreciate your kind comments.
