I wanted to join in the fun at Cuisine Kathleen's Summer Whimsy Tablescape Challenge, so I thought of Shelly, my Byers' Choice caroler, dressed in her swim costume and ready for the beach.
See you there!

Love the blue and white with the seashells!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and whimsical! Absolutely perfect for a summer luncheon.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love how you folded the napkins to resemble sailboats. Very cute
Adorable- just too cute! Love your Shelly doll. Love the starfish and the napkins folded like a hat! I think I have Shelly's sister in my cabinet! I love how you laid in the little rope with the shells and sand- perfect!
ReplyDeleteBabs, this is both whimsical and very pretty. Love the blue and white theme and all the beach details ~ sand, shells, and swimming bloomers. Great job!
ReplyDeleteToo much going on here with house guests and life in general, so I don't have a table to share this week for Kathleen's challenge. I should have planned ahead.
Your table is set so cute! I love the summer theme with the seashells and blue and white. I didn't know the Byers dolls were made in any other theme than Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Babs, I love Shelley...I'm a whimsy one at heart and all your blue and White for a sea tablescape is gorgeous, along with those pretty sea shells...love it! I'm having sea shells myself.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
FABBY
I'm going to beat you up if you don't start posting more tablescapes! You always do such a great job, and then you just leave us hangin' for like 5 or 6 months. What's up with that little woman??!?!? :-)
ReplyDeleteNow I have that "She sells seashells by the seashore" thing going on over and over in my head. Thanks a lot! :-)
I never knew they made these carolers in outfits other than Christmas ones. Shelly's pretty cool! Her swimsuit is just the kind I've been looking for to cover pretty much my entire body! I'd probably drown under all the weight of it!!! :-)
Your napkin fold is terrific! I've never attempted the sailboat napkin fold. You've inspired me to give it a try...someday!
Babs, I love your Shelly. I'm happy to see someone else who uses them year round! Although your table is very whimsical with the beach grass and all the shells and that fabulous napkin fold, it is also pretty and attractive. Wonderful! Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling way to create the centerpiece with Shelley with all her seashells. The idea of a sailboat napkins add to the nautical look. Your blue and white plates at so pretty and love the teapot, creamer, and sugar. have a great week!
ReplyDeletePam
Shelly looks delightful shell hunting at your table Babs! Your napkin sailboats float my boat :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute table...love your Shelly. The Blue Willow goes so nicely with the shore theme. Great napkin fold for this table, too!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week, Babs.
That's a beautiful table. Now you just need to have some girlfriends over to enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN table!!! It made me smile! Living in MO we don't make it to the beach often but I really enjoy looking at beachy table settings. Enjoy your weekend, Babs!
ReplyDeleteBabs, this is such a cute and fun table. Love Shelly and all her shells!
ReplyDeleteLinda
Great summer table!
ReplyDelete- Alma, The Tablescaper
ReplyDeleteI have several Byers Choice Carolers
I don't have the swim girl, very darling table
Wonderful tablescape and your Shelly doll really makes it fun!!
ReplyDeleteBabs, I love this tablescape and I adore your Shelley Byers Choice caroler!! She is so pretty. I have long admired the Byers Choice carolers, but so far, I haven't purchase any. I feel like I have so much "schtuff" as it is, I hesitate to start another collection. :-D Your table is just beautiful -- love your sailboat napkin folds, your seashells, and your blue and white plates. Makes me want to go the beach. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Babs!
Hugs,
Denise at Forest Manor
Wonderful table...love all the sea elements. The Blue Willow is perfect on this table...lovely!
ReplyDeleteBabs, that is just darling! I remember asking you about that Byers gal! She is wonderful. Love how you incorporated her into your whimsical and inviting sea scape perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for taking the Summer Whimsy Challenge!
Forgot to mention the sail napkins, love them. Must try!
ReplyDeleteHi Again Babs,
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful, fun and beachy
table, and your lil decorating friend Shelley. very cute!
Also loved the napkin fold, it looks just like a sailboat, never seen
that one before, but it was perfect,
and your blue and white dishes go right along with the theme, I love
themed tables myself.
Great job.
Blessings, Nellie
Babs,
ReplyDeleteA D O R A B L E Sea Shell Tablescape, dear friend!!!
I adore the Sailing Napkin fold with the Starfish!!!
Blue and white are a classic and cool color palette for beating the Summer Heat!
Thanks for sending some "cool" beachy breezes my way!
Fondly,
Pat
Babs, your tablescape is marvelous - love the beautiful whimsy, Shelly and all the blue and white! I will be featuring your post in this week's Home and Garden Thursday,

I just love Shelly in her swim suit. She is just too cute and looks fabulous on the table with the shells and starfish. Beautiful blue plates. This is just too cute.
