I still can't do the pictures right though :( Let me try again.

Here is a link that might be useful: Shell tablescape for my sister

Wow! You found wonderful shell items. Those dishes are perfect and I love the stemware! and those big shell candlesticks too! You created a beautiful table and your sister must have been thrilled that not only was it dinner for her but she got to take the dishes home too! So glad you shared it with us. Luvs

Very pretty table setting with such nice shell dishes and accessories.
What a special sister you are to collect all of it..and then 'Give It To Her' as her present!!.. Now that's true 'Sisterly Love' lol.
I'm sure she must have been so surprised and overjoyed.

What a great idea. TFS

What a special b'day celebration!!! Love the stemware...the mixture of the "peachy" & white. AWESOME finds & a spectacular setting! The netting is perfect on the tablcloth, the shade of the blue napkins & wonderful accessories. You are a "peach" of a sister! TFS pics! Jeanne

Oh my gosh, I'd sure love to be your sister. LOL. That table is so pretty (especially those neat glasses you found.) I wish I could have seen your sister's expression when you told her all of that belonged to HER. WOW, quite a fantastic surprise! This certainly is the 'smile of my day'. Great pix, great story to go with them!

hugs, Karen

Donna, what a wonderful way to give a present to someone! Way more fun that just opening wrapping paper! And what a gift! Those shell dishes are gorgeous and I like that they have the coral colour on them and that there are two different sets which mix/match well together. The pillar candle holders are fantastic too. The stemware goes perfectly as do the napkin rings. Oh, I would just be in heaven if someone told me I got to keep everything on the table! Thanks so much for sharing these pics and the story behind it - never too late to share 'scapes here!

Oh, wow! What a thoughtful way to present a gift! I just love all the pieces. I bet it was fun collecting, and it was so fortunate you were able to find so many great coordinating pieces!

Whoa! The stemware and the napkin rings add so much to the already beautiful dishes. Your sister is one lucky lady. I think I've seen the dishes somewhere, but can't remember where. But I've never seen the matching(?) stemware.
Your setting is just beautiful.

It would be great to have a sister like you, how sweet. Those shell dishes are outstanding, love the colors. Everything is put together so well. I have a set of vintage baking shells (natural shells), you should keep an eye out for some they would go great with this.

Lovely! I especially like your dishes and how you've used the fishnet on top of the tablecloth. I'm glad you've shared them with us!
