Boating Dinner for Two

                                    A quiet cove with glassy water just
                                                                   speaks romance.


The week after the 4th of July took us to Lake Powell
for boating.  I thought it would be fun to try a
tablescape at the back of the speedboat using items
we had on the houseboat.
                                
Beach themes and purple accessories
throughout the houseboat made it easy .

The cute beach plates and platter are from Home Goods/ TJ Maxx.

The square plates are from a local store, Tai Pan.
We had this private little cover all to ourselves.
I have had the darling fish plates for years.  I might have
bought them at Shopko, I don't remember.
I have them in clear too.
The pewter came from Cabo.

Purple glass plates and flatware were from Target and
the linens were custom made by the houseboat
manufacturer to match fabric on the boat.




This is a Fitz and Floyd bowl that I snagged at Home Goods.
If you are looking for beach themed items from Home Goods,
check them out in the Spring when they have a good selection.
We often do lunch or dinner cruises on the speed boat,
just never this fancy. 

Maybe we will try it next time - adults only.
Let me know when you can come.

I will be posting this with the fun party at
Between Naps on the Porch

Come see all the fun and creative tablescapes.
Such talent!

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

  11. You've got it all right. Being on a boat in a beautiful setting is good enough, but having dinner on board makes it so much better. Have fun again and again.

  15. What a unique and fascinating tablescape! Love the Fitz & Floyd bowl -- perfect with the table/boat linens!

    I was glad to see that the water looked so calm. When I saw the first couple of pictures, I was thinking, "Oh, I hope the dishes don't fall overboard!"

    Hope you have a great weekend!
