I decided to try duplicating their setting so I snapped a couple of pictures and went shopping. I already had a few of the basic items and surprisingly had purchased some lanterns a few weeks ago. After a few stops and a couple of purchases, I was able to put together my very own seaside tablescape for far less than I would have spent at PB.
I love the little starfish plates that I found at Homegoods for $2.50 each. The rattan chargers are from Marshalls and were $2.99 a piece. I didn't have any napkin rings that went with the theme so I wrapped the napkins with jute and hot glued on little shells. This will do until the PB glass napkin rings go on clearance or I find something else. 
Thank you Susan at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ for hosting Tablescape Thursday.

ReplyDeleteNola, You asked the origin of my name. My mother's name was Neola, so I guess that says it all. How about you? Where did your name come from. There are not many Nola's in the world. I think we should start a Nola Club!
ReplyDeleteSo many cute things!
ReplyDeleteSadly, you're right....Magnolia's closed. That whole back street/courtyard at the village is empty. All of the businesses closed. I've heard we've got 4 new businesses coming in, but I'm not sure where.
Hope you'll come this summer. If you do, let me know.
Hugs!
