Table in Paradise

Despite all of the hurricane damage

in our home in Cabo, 

(click here to see that post)

we didn't lose

any glassware or plates.  We were

blessed to have as little damage as

we did.

I spent 3 weeks here in January enjoying

the change in weather and celebrating

my birthday.

When we were cleaning out the garage

after all of the damage, I found two of

these decked out starfish and I just

had to feature them on our table.

I love how someone bejeweled

these little guys.

Today's table is on the lookout that

is off the living room and has 

views on all sides.

You get a great view down to the ocean

from here.  It is such a beautiful spot

and is stunning with the flowers

in bloom.  I love being surrounded

by flowers year round here.

It is so much fun to have traditional

plates and glassware to eat off of

so we have filled the house with

local items.

We always love to shop at

Artesanos.  This is my second 

set of plates from there.

The glaze has raised details that make

them really fun.

This is a faux stone top table

that fits six to eight.  It is a favorite

spot for breakfast.

I gathered accessories from around

the house to make our seaside centerpiece.

Two kinds of cobalt glassware,

also from Artesanos which is located

right outside of town along the 

frontage road are used for today's table.

Artesanos also has lots of pewter

but I brought these pewter napkin

rings and the napkins from home.

I have had these for a few years but

this is the first time I used them.

There is nothing like eating in the fresh

air, especially when you know it is 

freezing at home.  

Fill one of these up with 

fresh squeezed orange juice

and enjoy the sound of the ocean

and the breezes as you forget about 

any cares at home.

I joke and say that when I celebrate

my birthday in a warm climate,

I don't age!!
