We spent a few days at the beach and now, we're back home remembering all the fun we had.
We're doing laundry, watering plants...you know... the usual after trip chores.
So, I decided to do a quick end-of-summer tablescape on the coffee table in the family room.
I got out my old bamboo trays, and new scallop shell dishes...
...and grabbed a handful of Vinca to put in a vase.
Right now, it's about the only thing blooming in our yard.
I used a big clam shell to hold crackers...
...and small shells to hold salt, pepper and Old Bay seasoning.
Now, all I have to make is a shrimp salad for lunch, put my feet up...
and...
Ahhhh.. :)
Hope y'all have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend.

What a cute beach tablescape, Babs! Love the scallop shell dishes and your use of shells to hold the crackers and condiments. This is perfect! Your vincas are pretty, as well. Ours go strong until the first frost! Have a great weekend!
So pretty Babs!! Enjoy the long weekend!!
Have a great long weekend dear Babs. I love your small tablescape to remember times by the sea.

This is so beachy and charming! I love how you used the shells! I think I need to do a last summer hurrah tablescape. Hope this was a great summer for you! :)

Cute post! Save some for me! Have a lovely weekend!
I didn't have a lot of spare time today, but I took just a few minutes to browse blogs.
And this, was what I found.
Worth it.
This is a perfect little happy post.
That shrimp salad sounds good! Your pics from your vacation look so nice too. Hope you had a great time.
There's nothing more refreshing than time at the beach! Love the shells you are using...what a great idea! Have a happy weekend! Hugs!
Babs, just a perfect end of summer table! Bring on the shrimp!
hugs,

Loving your shell plates and how you're using them!! After being home in St. Augustine so much this summer - I'm missing some fresh shrimp!! Enjoy your weekend!
Now that really looks like the life! Your coffee tablescape looks perfectly inviting, and a shrimp salad sounds delicious! I really like those rattan wrapped glasses.
Your tablescape looks absolutely beautiful and inviting,
I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
Kathy
