Ocean Blue Tablescape

Cabo's wonderful year round weather just

calls out for beautiful blue dinner ware

served poolside and oceanside.

These beautiful handpainted blue swirled

plates and bowls are our everyday plates

and bowls here at our home in Cabo.

They are accented by pewter platters which also

feature swirls and echo the oval shapes of the

plates and bowls.

Stacked together and placed on a neutral woven

mat, the pewter picks up the blue of the

sky.

Hammered stainless steel flatware is also our

everyday flatware.

The blue dinnerware and pewter platters along

with the blue rimmed glasses come from

Artesanos here in Cabo.

Artesanos is a great place to shop that brings

in wares from artisans all over Mexico from pewter

and plates, glassware and ceramics to furniture.

The centerpiece consists of flowers, plants and palm fronds

from the property.  A shell ball that I brought from home

accents the naturals.

The table overlooks the sandy shore of the

Pacific ocean.

Pink hibiscus flowers accent each plate and

offer a color pop that echos the bougainvillea

that surrounds the pool.

One of the best things about a tropical climate

is the abundance of gorgeous flowers.

A blue glass bottle filled with sand from the

beach below offers another variation of

the ocean blue.

The rim of the hurricane and its swirls echo the

exact blue of the ocean today.

Just as we are setting the table, a cruise ship

sails past. 

Look at the golden glow of the sunset on the

rocks that surround the hot tub.

Notice the reflection of the rocks in the still

pool water.

It looks like a double sunset as the glass reflects

the sun slipping into the ocean.

Part of our ritual here is to watch the sunset

each night.

The pewter just glows in the setting sun.

The surf below captures the setting sun and the

beach is crowded with others who make it a

practice to see the sun slip into the ocean.

Gorgeous night lighting begins to appear

on the surrounding hillside.

A myriad of ships also come out to watch the sunset.

This wonderfully lit pirate ship returns to the marina

now that the sun is set.

Can you still see the pirate ship?

The dusk closes as we light the hurricane

candle and catch a gorgeous blue hour.

Thus ends another gorgeous day in Paradise.

(Do we really have to go back to snow?)
