Culling From Nature

Nature can provide all sorts of wondrous things when you want to set a table. The other evening at a table for two for our Sunday eve supper, various beach finds were called into action.

This lichen & moss covered branch TPS found on a walk from one of the trees that jets out over parts of the beach. Sculptural just as it was, it anchored the setting.

Then I pulled a few favorite shells out of our large glass vase filled with them, that we are constantly adding to. The trio shell holder I found ages ago while vintage shopping would hold the salt and continue the shell-y theme.

And lastly, 2 hand-painted blue dominos that are part of a set that were a gift from our friend Jane. I always like to add something that doesn’t quite fit as I think it sparks conversation & visual interest. I have a funny domino story to tell at a later posting… With the table set, it was on to dinner as twilight danced around us.
