G'day fellow table-dressing-lovers. Call me an obsessive, if you must, but I lurve it – such a great thing to do when I get a bit of time, to busy myself quietly at the table, gathering up a few simple things that I already have from around the cottage…and just fiddling (well I did do a lot of laundry yesterday I earned like heaps of time to myself).
Or you can…
If you fancy joining in, my next fantabulous Beach Cottage Recession Buster May Giveaway will be on Monday – just let me know in the comments on this post, or send me a message at abeachcottage@gmail.com if you're interested in joining in and I'll get a linky going or stick your giveaway in my sidebar.
And now…sorry I can't go without talking about the washing...
Firstly thank you for commenting, I am frantically writing names on bits of paper…secondly I am quite taken aback about areas not allowing washing, how terribly awful, does that mean you have to keep your washing inside, as in by law?
I mean I grew up in a place where people compete to get their laundry out first, my mum, like Jo has Washing Line OCD, she hangs things in themes by garment, in height order…she texts me from England for God's sake and tells me it's a good washing day!
I just cannot get my head round clotheslines not being mainstream…but ain't that the beauty of blogging?
Like the idea of using starfish in the table setting – I should try this, as I do have some star fish in the house.
Hope you have a lovely mother’s day on Sunday Sarah!
So nice … simple, romantic, and laid-back the kind of stuff that makes me go dreaming. I love the accents…candles, shells ….
Oh How I would love to win this! Great giveaway! Ill be reading your blog now, just found it though Life at Cherry Tree Corner,
Love your blog!
I just love your blog! That table is so my style!
Sarah, you have no idea how completely honored I am that you stopped by to welcome me to the world of blogging! I have been lurking around your beautiful blog for months and months, admiring everything you do in your lovely white beach cottage. Maybe you noticed you are listed on my sidebar under my favorite inspirational people. :)
Thank you so much for visiting me and your sweet, encouraging words.

Tease all you want about your “wonderful good taste and natural style”… strolling around your blog, it’s obvious you have both! Happy Mother’s Day :-)
Greetings from Egypt… this is the first time I have come across your blog and it is just delightful. Pop over to mine anytime and see how exactly polar opposite it is…;o}. But I would love a pair of those delightful shell serviette holders. Your table is just gorgeous. I am always looking for ideas. Sadly, here in the land of sun and dust, there are few opportunities to acquire such fabulous trinkets so I would appreciate you sending them all the way here if you like. I will be back for more.
Your tablescape is beautiful. I adore your blog and so wish I lived by the sea. ?
Beautiful. I think the beachy blue is just perfect :) My beach house has all sorts of beachy shades ;) and I can hardly wait until I can get out this spring and find some treasures that I can whiten/brighten to cheer the place up.
I so love you blog, it’s very peaceful
Hello !
You “talk” funny….lol ! You probably think I talk funny too :o) Love your scape
and the colors are so nice !

I love the beach table setting. Transitioning my daughters room into a more beach theme as she’s gotten older. She loves the beach and these would be great on my new to me table.
It’s always fun to see what you are doing on your blog and this table is so inviting. thanks for visiting my blog too.
That’s beautiful and so is your blog!
Oh! Blue is my favorite… and I love shells! Wish I lived by the beach, but I do get to enjoy going once a year at least!
