Bella Rustica Vintage Marketplace

We visited the historic Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin, Tennessee for the annual Bella Rustica Vintage Marketplace. Artisans near and far showed off their wonderful wares -
 
 
"Antiques" was the word ...
 
 
... with lots of beautiful vintage furniture dressed in chipping paint.
 
 
There were surprises around every corner ...
 
 
... and décor ideas everywhere!
 
 
We will be coming back next year ...
 
 
... see you then!

Beachside Tablescape

Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside!
 
This summer, we took a beach trip to Flagler Beach, Florida. This seaside community was incorporated in April of 1925. It is named after an oil tycoon and railroad man, Henry Morrison Flagler. He played an integral role in developing this quaint community.
 
 
We stayed at a lovely little beach house: Luxury Suites on the Ocean. The house was divided into four luxury suites. Three on the bottom floor and one on the top floor.
 
 
So for this Tablescape Thursday post, I am featuring this gorgeous beachside tablescape! The dining room featured a painted wooden table in aqua and white stripes with matching chairs. A charming painted wicker buffet was included with an adorable white wicker lamp. I also adored the painted iron pillar candle holder! I will be looking out for one!
 
 
The white cotton napkins were a nice touch with nautical rope napkin rings. The gorgeous placemats featured seashells and coral motifs. I love that shade of blue! Just like the sea!
 
 
 And here is a close-up of the painted wicker buffet. We enjoyed some yummy homemade spaghetti and French bread! Perfect end to a gorgeous seaside day!

We are linking up at Between Naps on the Porch's Tablescape Thursday.
