This is a repeat of my very first Tablescape Thursday and one of my favorites. Thanks to Susan of BNOP for hosting! Still working on the deck, so this will have to do this week.
The last time I served a New England Shore Dinner, I set a beach-themed table . It was easy, inexpensive and added a fun ambience to the meal!
Instead of using a tablecloth, I draped the table with a fishnet. Next, I spread a light teal crinkled fabric curtain panel in the center of the table, positioning it around the umbrella base, so that it resembled ocean waves.
I then layered seagrass placemats with scallop shell dishes and lobster utensils. Cloth napkins in a shell print were tied with jute string, strung with a single shell. A miniature lobster trap, a candleholder tied with jute string netting strung with shells, several large starfish and a metal lighthouse tealight holder complete the look. Everything but the fabric napkins, which I made, came from The Christmas Tree Shop.
You can find the recipes for the New England Shore Dinner here. Thanks for stopping by!

What a great tablescape. I can't believe all the great things that come from CTS. I sure wish I had one near me. I love the net you used.
Great job!

Was that a dolphin jumping behind that chair????

Sweet Up-North Mornings...
Lovely table, and the food looks awesome!
What a lovely table setting - I really love the white seashell plates...very nice!
I think I do remember this beachy tablescape -- worthy of another look -- perfect for the start of summer and beach season!
The table and the food look delicious! Most of my table this week is from CTS also! Don't you just love a bargain? :)
Hey thanks so much for the follow. God has used My Utmost for His Highest countless times to speak to us. Always seems to be exactly what we need to hear.
Loved seeing this again! The fishnet just "makes" the table! Your dishes are lovely as are the accessories. Yum! Lobster!

I love your New England seashore inspired table...the fish net is a nice touch to the dishes you have used.
Have a great weekend.
the fishnet tablecloth is genius :D
I to am ready for some summer seaside tablescapes and yours is truly inviting and creative and can't forget delicious...
Your fishing net is the perfect accessory to a clam bake style dinner. Cute frames on the photos as well, where did you find those?
darling table~
