What a treat to have the sun and the ocean
all to ourselves for a week!
Usually we are entertaining and although we
love that too, it is a delight to be able to do
practically nothing and recharge our batteries.
I could just float like this jelly fish for hours,
enjoying the water and the sun.
Hubby really wanted me to do this table with
a view off the edge of the infinity pool
looking down at the sand, surf and rocks.
Shell shape dishes are always perfect for a pool
or ocean table. I love how the morning sun is
shining through these glass shell bowls.
Don't you just love the magical look of
starfish?
Real or pewter, they are so beautiful and elegant.
Isn't Mother Nature just so creative and fantastic?
Clear wine goblets let you see right through to the ocean.
I can almost hear the ocean waves breaking in the morning sun.
It is the perfect backdrop for life.
All on a rustic small table for two right at the edge
of the cliff.
Wish this could go on forever!

i am wild over this, stunningly beautiful! so many glam shots... i could never live cliffside like you, i have vertigo, but i sure can enjoy a good pic from a far! your week looks so warm and wonderful, mine is cold gray fog with no sight of the sea in the constant gray swriling raining mist. so glad you had such a great restorative week, and for sharing the beauty!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, this looks inviting, refreshing, and very tempting. Your view is amazing. I don't think I'd want to venture far. Your table for two is gorgeous, using some of my favorite dishes. I was lucky enough to find a few pieces of those shell dishes years ago ago at TJ or Marshall's. Wish they would show up again so I could add more place settings. Love the shell detail! I like to use the bowls for clam chowder.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your vacation!
I'm totally in love with your setting for two, the shell shaped plates are simply beautiful....
ReplyDeleteAnd oh wow how gorgeous is your jelly fish under glass, simply love that....enjoy your wonderful time together.....

ReplyDeleteI need that jelly fish! It's so beautiful and I could float in the water and soak in the sun for hours! Great job and looks romantic!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not a fan of jellyfish, yours is certainly beautiful, and your magical setting is just breathtaking Jacqueline! My hubby and I are relaxing alone on our coast this week, after a hectic family weekend, and it's sheer heaven! Your plates are gorgeous, and I love the way you've captured everything sparkling in the morning sun~ I know you're enjoying every second!

ReplyDeleteExquisite! Such an elegant tablesetting for two. I love the jellyfish and the view is the perfect setting for such a luxurious tablescape. The beautiful pictures makes me almost feel the cool, crisp water and the charming place setting makes me want to linger a little longer. Simply gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, this is so beautiful! I love your shell dishes, and the view is awesome!!! I'm so glad that you were able to get a break. Do the dishes stay there all year or do you bring them home sometimes? Hope your summer has been wonderful!
