These creamy seashell dishes are my favorites…
Love them layered together over scrolly metal chargers
and mixed with vintage silver.
A winters menu on the chalkboard…
the table is set for eight.
Delightful mossy green topiary balls in weathered tuscan clay pots
march down the table
Artichokes, apples and grapes welcome guests
to sit for awhile and enjoy the company,
conversation and food.
A favorite statue from the kitchen moves into the dining area
-Mr Rooster –
standing tall gracing the sideboard.
Cullan’s French Farmhouse table came inside for the winter
filling the dining space with character and warmth…
perfect for a winters gathering.
I am working on a few posts that aren’t quite ready to share and
spending the day chaperoning a field study with my daughters class
to see the Impressionists Exhibit in S.F.

will start catching up with you later this evening.

Loved your holiday vacation post too! This is so pretty. I am a fan of white on white and the beautiful touch of green gives hope for the future when green returns. I love shell plates too and have similar ones. They make me feel happy! Have a great day.

Hi, I love your photos. Everything looks so beautiful, especially that big rooster. Thanks for hosting the party.
Love this table you have created! The rooster is my favorite and the plates a close runner up! Take care.
There is nothing better than scrolling down a post only to be surprised to see yourself featured! Thanks Courtney, you're the best!
Those dishes are to die for! I have never seen anything like them. The charges top the setting off!
Take care,
Lisa

Courtney…I love those dishes! Would you mind sharing where you purchased these?! Absolutely beautiful tablescape…just lovely!
Your white shell plates are gorgeous! What pretty tablescapes you create. Thanks for sharing and for hosting this fun party.
~Lynn @ Cottage and Creek
Your plates are drop dead gorgeous! As is the charger. Love the center pieces you've selected. It's wonderful.
Hi lovely,
I'm sorry for being so late….I really thought I'd linked up already. Bizarre! I need to sort my brain out!!
I love your pictures. They're always so romantic and pretty. Yum!
Sarahx
What a beautiful table — love those shell plates!
Hi Courtney,
A couple of things…did you make your chalkboard in the dining room, by the rooster? I have a few mirrors at my shop with minor damage that I put back to do something like this with. Seeing yours finally has inspired me to actually do it! I have most everything I need, I think anyway, but just hadn't gotten the motiviation/inspiration I was looking for until now. I was wondering if you did the gold leafing/painting on your frame and if you fitted a piece of wood into for the chalkboard…then painting it with chalkboard paint?
Also, I added your button to my featured page but there was no code for your 'featured button' so I just used your other FNF button…hope that is ok.
And lastly, I added your blog to my sidebar with some of the other blogs I love to read and keep up with. I hope you'll do the same.
again, I love the shell dishes in this post and your dining room is WONDERFUL!
Nancy
Hi, Courtney! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I realized that I slipped into your fabulous linky party without introducing myself! Anyway, you have a beautiful blog, and I am looking forward to being a follower. Have a wonderful weekend!
What a beautiful set of dishes! I can see why they are your favorites and your table is gorgeous. Wish I was coming for a meal 🙂
Cindy
Hi Courtney! Thanks for popping over to say hello to me today. The Cottage Flora Thursday is up and running Thursday (thanks to Kirstin at My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia). Your welcome to join the party still….left it up a little longer so more gardeners could join! definately feeling spring in the air. 🙂
Come back & "follow" me when you get a chance. xoxo
Wow, your table is so, so gorgeous! Looks straight out of a magazine to me! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous home with us all, and for hosting these fun parties. I just recently discovered your blog and only got in a few linkies last year, but I'm sure hoping to play along often this year.
Hi Courtney, First of all your table looks beautiful! Secondly, thanks for visiting and following me 🙂 I really appreciate it! 3. I accidentally, over-linkied here – so sorry… they didn't seem to be going through… Please feel free to delete extras!!! Thanks very much for the linky party – sorry for the repeats!

You are amazing!! Your table is beyond fabulous!
Hi-I'm totally new to this whole blogging scene. I can't believe no one has asked what brand or what store you found your seashell dishes from? I don't know if it's "against the rules" to tell? But, I've been trying to find them on the Internet to no avail! I would love to purchase a set.

Hi Micaela,
They were from JC Penney years ago. I am not sure who the manufacturer is or where you might be able to find them now but a quick search shows there are some that look similar at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Hope that helps!
