Gone Fishing

My mother called me in a panic this morning speaking gibberish about a last minute dinner party and "throwing flowers in a vase". Yeah, I don't think so. So at a quarter to nine I found myself perusing my parents linen closet and garage searching for an inspiration... shells. Not sure why my parents have them, or where they came from, but they were perfect! Come to find out, the decor was very fitting as the guests will be bringing fresh abalone for the main course tonight.

Decor as if it was planned in advance. Mom, you're All Set! Have a great dinner party.
