Beachy Bronze Tablescape

 

A couple of weeks ago I was in Laguna Beach, CA, it’s a darling little beach town and I was able to do a little shopping and ran across these darling bronze starfish…

starfish I picked up 4 of them because I just knew I would want to use them in a tablescape one day. 

Today I decided to do a tablescape featuring my cute bronze starfish.

I love the combination of bronze/brown and white so I started with my brown placemats with lots of texture, my trusty everyday dishes, and my new starfish

004 I decided brown napkins and salad plates were needed

I added a bronze hurricane lantern, I just got at Home Goods, with candles and seashells

Then glasses and candles were added

Ahh I hear the beach calling me

Have a great day!

Celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary

Today is my 20th wedding anniversary – yikes where did the time go? 

Anyway to celebrate our 20th anniversary the hubs decided to try something new and take the train to San Francisco

We had a really great train ride to San Francisco and we decided to take the short walk to our hotel. 

On the way to the hotel, one of the more colorful residents of San Francisco decided that he needed to change his pants, in the middle of the sidewalk, in broad daylight… and NO he was not wearing any underwear!  Sorry no pictures of this moment! 

We got to our hotel and we were somewhat disappointed to learn our hotel was under a 5 year reconstruction phase.  Sort of a bummer, but they only work from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and luckily neither me nor the hubs are late sleepers. 

The hotel room was really nice and charming
