Perhaps it was for the best as I was rambling on and on about the sea..my fear of it and my spending the weekend of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of August aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. <br />I love that tablescape with the clipper ship and especially the old interesting bottle. The candle light is wonderful! You did a perfectly marvelous seaside tablescape!! I used to want one of those boats SO bad but I eventually got over it. You know how we do...:)<br />Many hugs...(I said lots more but...it was not important..simply ramblings...)<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883123415723934494.post-23778161609230394882009-06-20T06:11:39.806-07:002009-06-20T06:11:39.806-07:00This is fabulous!
