A Quite Moment

Can you tell I am longing for a quite moment at the beach.  I am about as far away from that as possible.  Landlocked in the Midwest with an ice storm moving in.  I will post all the week's post now because I may lose power.  I will come back and link them up later if I am not able to on time.

But, I can dream.....about the beach.

Real French pressed glass goblets.  I found these at Marshall's last fall for $2.00 a piece.

Thanks for joining me down at the beach for a quite moment.

    I just love the beach!!!! I can't wait for the sun to shine and warm weather. I lived in Buffalo until December 22, 2010, now we are in Houston. I don't miss the snow.....Houston is so unpredictable!
    I love your goblets and dishes. I can see me sitting at your table and looking out over the ocean. Just so peaceful and quiet! Thank you for sharing a beautiful oceanscape!

    Your china is gorgeous, Sherry! Love your still life with the roses, shells and candles too. I also am in the midwest and we've had about 3 inches of snow so far - no ice, just snow but wind and cold is coming as well as more snow. I need to get out with the snowblower - now that I stay home, that's my job! lol
    Stay warm, dear lady and I hope your power stays on.
    Hugs and blessings, Beth

    I loved joining you at the beach. What a pretty table, and those silver shells just send me! I have those same glasses and love them. Aren't they the cutest?

    XO,

    I hope your dream comes true for all of us in the path of this latest storm. You bring the beach chairs, I'll bring the fruity drinks with umbrellas. :o)

    Stay warm and safe, Sherry. La

    I think we all long for some quiet, at times. I know I do!
    Your beach setting is really beautiful. Those pressed glasses are some of the prettiest. I can't believe they were only $2 a piece! I think the shell shaped dishes are so pretty too.
    What a great photo to close with!

    The pattern on your Whitney china reminds me of the undulating curls of the ocean's surf...perfect for a tablescape to capture the romance of the sea. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay

    I feel the warm of the beach. How I wish I could scape the chilly Stockholm.

    I can't believe I managed to struggle year after year living here, while the Philippines is waiting for me inviting the exotic weather §;-)

    I love the simplicity you have in your table, girl! But, remember, simple is always the best.

    Have a great w/end ahead, girl.

    hugs & blessings,

    i really hope you didn't lose power! We've had rolling power outages here in Texas -- not fun, especially the one that started just as I stepped from the shower! Your table is lovely -- beautiful china! And the French glassware is so appealing.

    Hi,

    I live in central NJ, and I am having those nasty storms too. We are getting hit again tomorrow with a snow/ice storm. I long for spring!

    Wow, you've made me long for the beach even more than I was! We aren't getting the storms as bad as the midwest here in the DC area this year, but I feel like you! Stop by and pick me up on your way?!

    Hope you didn't lose power, but somehow I think your home would be warm and cozy even if you did!

    Stay warm!
