Happy Monday!
Did you have a good 4th of July Weekend? I hope so!
I had five minutes to spare and a table without a centerpiece on Friday.
I love a challenge, so I threw together a few options.
First I created Option 1 (pictured above). I had these twine balls (just twine wrapped and hot glued around a Styrofoam ball) and some fabric balls (fabric ripped into one-inch strips and wrapped around a Styrofoam ball) on hand from an old centerpiece. I just threw them together with some sand dollars and coral in this tiered thingy.
I liked this. A lot. Just not here. So I moved it to the bathroom.
Option 2 was this lantern (from Home Goods) with some small shells around the base of a candle. I think I need a few more shells, but it works for now!
I like this one for the table better because it gives balance to all of black I have going on in our eating area. Option 1 was great, it was just too much black. (I see you nodding your head in agreement right now….I’m glad you see what I mean.)
Here’s a little photo collage of Miss L. in her 4th of July outfit. Girl loves the USA.
Notice the new face she’s been making (bottom right). If that’s not a scowl, I don’t know what is…
Have a great day! 🙂

Simple and pretty. I was just at the beach collecting shells last night. I wonder if the kids will let me use them for centrepiece, too? Your little lady is adorable in her “fireworks” hair accessory!

Maybe if you let them “help” you put it together, they’d agree! Keeping Miss L out of the seashells is the challenge…she loves them!

Cute little scowl. But then I’m a grandmother – not the mom! I love your sea shell decorations. We’re having a party at Tumbleweed Contessa and I’d love it if you linked these to What’d You Do This Weekend?
Wishes for tasty dishes

Ha! I think it’s pretty cute myself… I just can’t let her know that! 🙂
