Last week when my family was in town visiting, I decided to break out the fabulous beach decor that my mom gave me last summer for my birthday. Moondoggie and I have been out of town so much in the past year that we haven't had many opportunities to entertain and to use the great pieces she gave me. Everything came together beautifully, and I was able to create a coastal escape in my dining room even though we are located hours away from the coast. Unfortunately, some of the items shown are no longer available, but I've listed links to those items that you can still find in stores or online (or links to similar alternatives).

Seashell tablecloth from Williams Sonoma (no longer available); Assorted seashells from Pottery Barn (no longer available, but you can find similar seashells at World Market)
