Waiting for Spring to arrive....

Hello Everyone...

I hope you all had a great weekend.

I can hardly wait for spring to arrive....

So I thought I would share these pictures I took of my dining room last spring for 

Sarah, from A Beach Cottage.

Sarah had asked me to give my house a beach cottage feeling for my guest post....

So I thought I would share with you how I tried to give my house a feeling of living by the sea..

I have a small collection of shells, so I sprinkled some shells down the center of my table.

My husband's friend let me have access to his property so I could cut some pretty flowering branches.

I used a lot of sea colored glass...

I set out a few of my sea shell candles. 

I added vintage fishing floats to the table.   I used a mix of my vintage white ironstone plates....

I used inexpensive white cloth napkins that I had found at Marshalls.

I have a few vintage napkins that have a touch of pink fabric, so I added those to the table too.

I added a mix of sea colored bottles to my french bottle carrier.

These little clay tags with the french script came from the sweet Ness, from Marley and Lockyer.

I added some sea colored bottles to my ladder...

It was funny to look back at these pictures... as 

I have actually changed this room around quite a bit since I took these pictures...

The clock and door have since found another spot to reside in the house.
I am also so glad I decided to paint the inside of  my cupboard...

On another note...
I would like to thank these bloggers for posting about my shop...
