Although we’re lakeside, I set a table to celebrate
A Coastal Christmas
for my Blue Crab Bay StonewareGiveaway!
For a table covering, a quilted coverlet with nautical stripes provides the quintessential red to celebrate a Coastal Christmas and to pair with the blue stoneware.
My 4 Place Settings of Blue Crab Bay Company Stoneware were hoisted ashore previously for my Feeling Crabby tablein September.
For a seaside Christmas transition, I added some greenery and ribbon for a pop of red, along with shells to my lanterns.
Clear bubble stems, silver crab napkin rings, and flatware resembling rope add a few coastal details, as well as gray-washed rattan chargers, their faded appearance much like a sun-weathered dock.
Chargers are wreathed in Leyland Cypress for a seasonal touch~ an evergreen which won’t leave a sticky or sappy residue in itswake. Galvanized buckets are filled with a mixture of cypress, pine, and cedar.
I was first introduced to Blue Crab Bay products when I had my retail store and carried some of their specialty foods~their Snug Harbor Bloody Mary mixer is one of our favorites!
I was introduced through the pages of Claire Murray’s Women and the Sea, to Blue Crab Bay’s founder Pamela Barefoot, who resides on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, and saw my review, which in turn led to me a little to doing some photography this year for Blue Crab Bay Company products.
Part of my compensation for my photography was 8 Place Settings of handsome stoneware by Dovis Designs, produced and hand-painted in Thailand exclusively for Blue Crab Bay Company.
It is microwave and dishwasher-safe, as well as oven-safe to 400 degrees.
Nationally known folk artist, José Dovis, was born in a small village by the Italian Alps, and designed this hand-painted stoneware. Trained in pottery and painting, Dovis broadened his study of the arts in Argentina, Mexico, and Washington, D.C. after leaving Italy. In 1978, he established a studio in his waterfront home on Virginia’s Eastern Shore and traveled extensively, selling his original wheel thrown pottery along the East Coast. His designs synthesized the tradition of classic Italian majolica with early New England stoneware, reflecting the coastal life of the Chesapeake Bay.
Dovis, a longtime friend of Blue Crab Bay Co. founder Pamela Barefoot, designed the original Blue Crab Bay brand logo in 1985. Twenty-six years later, the reunion of Barefoot with Dovis rekindled the spirit of the stoneware line, with both of their creations drawing their inspiration from the Chesapeake Bay region~ the heart of Blue Crab country and three award-winning area vineyards~ incorporating grapes in the border on the plates.
In the Spirit of Christmas and as I approach my three-year blogging anniversary in January, I’m sharing some dish love and giving away my remaining 4 Place Settings I’m due to receive from Blue Cray Bay Company to One Winner!
The 7-Piece Place Setting includes a dinner, salad, bread/dessert plate, and a cereal, chowder, pasta bowl and mug!

Mary, I loved these dishes the first time you shared them on a table, and mixed with Christmas reds and greens they are equally as delightful. Beautiful designs! How perfect that they have chowder bowls.
These would be welcome in our home, but as I was the lucky one to receive your 2nd Year Anniversary Give Away, I’ll not put my name in the hat. Your generosity and love of dishes is remarkable. I feel so fortunate to share your friendship! ~ Sarah
The more I look at these gorgeous dishes, the MORE I WANT Them for myself :) oh goodness!

I hope you have a beautiful day!

Mary, you make everything so inviting. I love your tablescapes and all your wonderful photography. I can see how much a small detail can pull your eye and give inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Holidays from Seattle ! Oh, and so too can I “sea” those beautiful dishes in my future.
I REALLY would like to “sea” these come home with me! I have shared the Facebook entry, and I subscribed by e-mail and have like your Facebook page some time ago! Love your blog!
Would love to sea the Blue Crab Bay Company Stoneware on my table by the Monterey Bay! Your tablescapes are always inspiring and simply lovely. Best wishes for a peaceful holiday season to you and yours.
I grew up going to the ocean each year while living with my parents on the East coast. Now I’m in Colorado and miss the sea. I love the Italian influence in this set. I would LOVE to SEA this set come to our family!
I subscribe to your site and love all your ideas and decorating. So beautiful and inspiring!
I live in a floating home…as well as on the coast…love everything about your blog!…you’ve given me many neat ideas! My coast kitchen has blue crab decor…minus the dishes! :o/ keep up your creative streak..can’t wait to see whats next!!!!
I’ve admired the dishes with longing on their website and am a great fan of
Blue Crab Bay Co. snack mixes too. The “Barnacles” are my favorite and I would love to sea them served in their lovely pottery dishware! Thank you for two chances to win as I also subscribe. PS the pumpkin granola was a HIT!
What a lovely setting! My daughter will be thrilled to “sea” this as she loves all things “sea” related and since we are from Virginia, has a special love for this company anyway. I would in turn love to “sea” these plates come ashore with me so I could share them with her.
I really like how you have mingled the colors of Christmas with this blue and white and the elements of the “sea”. Beautiful!!
Since we are a coastal couple living minutes from the ocean inlet and lighthouse, this table setting is perfect for year round living outside. I hope I sea my way to acquiring them. Suzi
How beautiful the blue and white combine with the red and green touches! I wouldn’t have thought of it!
Last year I did a plaid and seashell themed Christmas table – we loved it so much that the centerpiece stayed on display for quite a bit afterwards ;-)
I would love to Sea the dish set in My Home but I realize the shipping would be pretty ridiculous, so I don’t really expect to get them, but it would be GREAT to have them!
As a July birthday girl and crab (cancer) I would LOVE to “sea” these on my table, then the feel of the ocean would always be with me! I subscribe and follow you by email. Lisa
OMG, I love this. I grew up in Va. and went to the Eastern Shore as often as I could. I am now living in Pa, and would love to have this reminder of the things that I loved about living there!
WOW- what a beautiful tablescape!!!!!!! I LOVE anything nautical and I would LOVE to “SEA” these place settings in my home. Thank you for all of your wonderful posts…..
I think it would be a lovely Christmas gift for me, if these dishes were to set sea and journey inland to my talbe. I love blue and white dishes and would enjoy adding these to the mix. Thank you for such a generous chance to win. MM
thanks for the lovely table ideas. I would love to SEA these Blue Crab Bay dishes mixed with some gavanized chargers that are just sitting in my closet waiting to grace a fun coastal tablescape this spring for a lakeside luncheon with friends. – kk
Your beautiful blog is the highlight of my day. I would love to SEA these Blue Crab Bay dishes on my table mixed and matched with my blue transferware. Your site always brings me back to the lovely vacation I spent with my family on the lake in Massachusetts just this past year. Thank you for your beautiful photography and decorating ideas. pat ♥
I would love to “sea” those pretty dishes come home with me. Your coastal tablescape is so beautiful! I might already be following you but I will check for sure and will follow you on FB also….Christine
Wanted you to know that I shared this beautiful and generous giveaway offer on Facebook so that all my friends and family could have the opportunity to own this beautiful dinnerware and take part in the beauty of your blog. Happy Holiday! pat ♥
I would love to sea them come home with me. They would fit right in as I live in South Puget Sound on the west coast. To the sea, to the sea, to the beautiful sea…….
What a beautiful tablescape. I live by the seashore of the Gulf Coast, and would love to sea those dishes along side my McCoy pottery to set my table more appropriately! I have checked them out at the Blue Crab Bay Co., from your previous posts, but alas – not in my budget… It’s so fun to look at your blogs! Merry Christmas!
Love these. They remind me of home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where we love our blue crabs any way you fix them. Would love to sea these at my home in Houston now! Happy Holidays! Carol
Just an e-mail to let you know I would love to sea these beautiful Blue Crab Bay dishes on my West Coast shoreline. Living within travel distance not far from the Seattle seashore it would be lovely to use and display these adorable dishes. Thank you for the opportunity and I sure do love getting your e-mail’s with your fabulous displays and photography. I’m so very envious of where you live!
OMG….what do I “sea”? I would love to “sea” the Blue Crab Stoneware on my table. I have never heard or “sean” this dishware before, maybe because I’m from the Midwest!! Absolutely love the Blue Crab Stoneware.
Being hoplessly land-locked in Kansas, these placesettings would be a breath of fresh air–sea air. I would love to “sea” them on my table in the heartland!
Although I am far from the Sea, I would love to sea those beautiful dishes on my table on December 21st as I celebrate my 17th year of being cancer free! I consider that to be a miracle. I really enjoy your photos.
Hi Mary! Hope you and the girls are enjoying getting all festive for the holidays!! I would totally love to “sea” those dishes in my cottage!! What a awesome display you have created!! I just love it!!
Oh boy would I love to “sea these dishes” come my way! We love to spend our vacations in the Chesapeake Bay area almost every summer. What a beautiful addition to our table these would be!
I too live on the water, Anchor Bay, part of the Great Lakes in Michigan. We are also boaters. I’d love to “sea” these beautiful dishes gracing the back deck of our boat. A lunch of crab cakes or a lovely crab salad would be so tasty on these dishes.
Thanks for the your beautiful blog. I visit daily for creative inspiration.
hi Mary,
I would love to sea this lovely china come home with me! I have the perfect place for it in my Gulf Coast home! I love the way the artist combined his Italian roots with his Chesapeake Bay home. The way you have turned this into a Christmas table is so clever, and of course if any one could do it you can! i am always inspired by your creativity and photography.
Jenna
Your blog is the first blog I signed up to follow when I first discovered blogging earlier this year. Your posts are always so full of great ideas and photography that you inspired me to start my own blog and learn to take better photos. I have a long way to go but you have taught me so much!
Jenna
Oh my goodness what memories those dishes bring back from the days I lived in Maryland and visited the Eastern Shore and got the delicious crabs. I would love to sea those dishes on my table.
These dishes are so handsome! Especially with your clever styling. My husband grew up in Annapolis, and we had the pleasure of living there for a while. Blue crabs bring those happy memories rushing back. I would love to have the blue crab dishes at our Texas lake house. Please enter me in the drawing. Thank you! Suzanne
Leyland Cypress, huh? OK…I’m going to have to write that down. I had a nasty little run-in with some evergreens a couple of years ago, and I have been antsy about using fresh ever since. I like the way you paired the striped tablecloth with the checkered napkins. Very pretty, and a perfect nautical look! The dishes are great, too. I wouldn’t be “crabby” if I didn’t win them, but it sure would be nice! :-) The treatment on the lantern is really pretty and unique. The plaid works with everything else! One might not expect that it would, but it totally does!
You do the most amazing tablescapes! I absolutely love your dishes-I haven’t seen anything like them! Our beach house would be the perfect place for them. That is why I follow you-for your wonderful ideas!
Thanks for sharing!
~Nancy
Sure would love to “sea” the beautiful Blue Crab Bay dishes on my Pacific West Coast “sea”shore. With living in travel distance to the beautiful “Sea”ttle “sea”shore, it would be lovely to use and display these adorable dishes. Thank you for the opportunity, and I sure enjoy and look forward to “sea”ing what you send on your news letters.
Thanks again for a great Holiday giveaway!
Mary, there is nothing better than Christmas on the coast, and your tablescape certainly celebrates that! The combination of the red with the blue is stunning! I would love an opportunity to win those beautiful crab dishes.
Beautiful! I love all your tablescapes, especially nautical ones. Wish I could set up outdoors as often as you can, but the Pacific Northwest does not work as well for that. I do love it here though, gray winters, rain drops and all.
These dishes would be beautiful in the Mid-west. It would make the Sea come alive to where we are in the heartland. I would love to sea them on my table.
I would love to Sea these beautiful blue and white crab dishes in my Newport, RI home. I don’t live at the shore but I try to bring that nautical, beachy decor ashore. My birthsign is the crab and these dishes would look fabulous for a summer dinner as well as a Holiday feast. Thanks for the chance to win these gorgeous dishes.

Oh Mary, I would love to “sea” those beautiiful dishes come home to me! What a pretty table you’ve set with them. I’m already a follower of yours. Thanks for the chance at this wonderful giveaway.
Oh my goodness what a great giveaway! I would definitely love to sea these on my table!
I’ve gone on Facebook and liked you and will post this on my page and my blog!
Thanks for the opportunity!
I love and covet the dishes and even more because we jusst returned from a week in Hilton Head and they would always remind me of that time. Dishes are one of my many weaknesses and I know you will understand that. Thanks for the many ideas for my family and friend dinners.
Mary..the table is gorgeous…love those plates and I can see why they wanted your “photography skills”….and I am going to Kohl’s and hopefully they still have that quilt…it is fantastic….As always, your tablescape is “award winning”…
Mary, I would love to “seas” these come home with me. We used to live near the Oregon Coast and a favorite pastime was crabbing! These dishes are so great and yes I did post this to my fb page. http://www.facebook.com/janiserendipity
I just started receiving your wonderful posts by email…love every one! We’re land locked deep in the heart of Texas but what a treat it would be to SEA those beautiful crab dishes on my table in Dallas!
I could “sea” these dishes looking very lovely on my dining room table…we were suppose to retire on Long Beach Island in NJ but instead we stayed in Atlanta so I have one room decorated with a beach theme…they would be coming to a very grateful home….
I can sea all the way back to my honeymoon soon to be 20 years ago, spent at a house on the rivah of the eastern shore. We baited our crab pot with leftover finger sandwiches from the wedding reception and spent a glorious stormy night watching the water from a glassed in deck. I can sea us celebrating all the love and laughter on that night with these great dishes gracing the table. Thanks so much for the gorgeous ideas and inspiring photography.
You have the most marvelous pictures and blue is my favorite colour; I sea what I could sea and do with this interesting blue crab design pottery. Your table setting is very attractive. With the addition of plaid to your table and interesting candle holders makes me sea sick for a home comfort Southern meal……this old Virginian misses the South and would sea those dishes come out to the West Coast where I sea many lovers of sea crab.
Sea ya’ll you hear now,
Sylvia Faye
No blog but your blog comes into my email and I enjoy each of them. Your little potting house has been intriging at each season. I miss the slower pace of life in the South.
Oh goodness. I’m so glad that I got up early to catch up in blog land. I would looooove to sea those dishes come my way. I think this whole table is wonderful. I would never have thought to use the striped coverlet for it, and I like it looks just plain perfect.
Mary, Mary, quite the table setter,
Each time I peek, they just get better!
And now the Blue Crab Bay Stone dishes from the sea,
I would absolutely love to “sea” them come home to me!
Mary, your tables are truly inspirational! You are one talented lady!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us!!!
This is a beautiful set of dinnerware, I would love to SEA them with my other blue and white items. I would love to decorate my dinner table in the beach theme. I love the quilt also. Thanks for sharing.
Mary- Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. You always seem to inspire me to try something new! Would love to “sea” these blue dishes on my porch overlooking my lake! I will keep my fingers crossed!
Morning Mary – These dishes would find a happy and appreciative home here on the river in ‘Bama. We’d love to “sea” them on our deck and know that they would rest on one of my many quilts – just like you!
How nice of you to share your beautiful dish set! I would love to sea them on a table next to our pool, which is as close to water as they would get :) Already a follower, Mary,
Mary, I have always loved your blog! And this is just darling. Those dishes! Those dishes! Sooooo cute. You better believe I would love to “sea” those dishes come home to live with me. I live near the “sea” a little further south, and these would be a perfect fit. I wish I had them now to use for our Christmas table. They would be adorable! They are certainly adorable on your cute table.
Thank so much for the chance to win. I appreciate it so much.
Thank you for the opportunity to ‘sea’ these used on my dining table this summer. You have made a beautiful setting for Christmas from the greenery to the quilt to the dinner ware. I always love to come visit your site and get a lot of inspiration from you.
I’d love to “sea”these dishes on my table. While my husband is out crabbing at the Delaware Bay, I could be setting the table in anticipation of the bussel of crabs he’ll bring home. And on the days he comes home without a bounty, I’ll still be pleased because these beautiful dishes won’t get dirty! Love your table; so festive!
I so would love to sea these dishes on my dining room table! I love crab and am from Florida and these dishes remind me of home! Blue and white dishes, blue crab and the sea!! Love your style…the photos are gorgeous!! I am a follower as well!
I would love to “sea” these dishes in my new home in Colorado, Mary, to remind me of living near the Atlantic Ocean for 59 years :) They are beautiful and your tablescape is so colorful and delightful!
The dishes are just beautiful! I could definitely “sea” them as a great gift for my sister! I love to see Christmas celebrated in other parts of the country. Especially since I don’t really care for red and green!
Love this table.. the green under the plates is the perfect touch to soften the table.. Love the dishes. We don’t see any like that down here at all. Wait, out west.. no water.. but would love to win.. thanks for the chance.. Once again, Mary your table leaves me oohing and aahing with every photo. thanks for the chance.. xo marlis
I would so love to “sea” these dishes come home with me! One of the first things my beautiful husband did to “wow” me when we were first dating was teach me how to pick a crab. I’ve loved him every since (not to mention steamed, spiced crabs!) These dishes could be such a meaningful and beautiful thing to share with him now that the kids are all adults and we are once again able to enjoy time alone together!
Holy Moley, Mary, I thought I would never get to the end of the comments!
Your table is a delight, I have never done a coastal Christmas, I should! If it wasn’t so cold, I should do it at the beach. Forget that, I am a wimp! Too cold!
I would love those dishes, they match my personality!
What a generous give away!
I have to say I adore the bows on your lantern, just pops right off the screen!
What a wonderful and unusual Christmas setting. I love it. The blue and red are so perfect! My husband is back in VA, now and near the Chesapeake Bay — lovely area. I do sea these dishes coming my way.
No, I sea them coming my way! I just bought our crab for Christmas Eve. They would be so perfect. You have such a lovely touch. What an unusual and elegant and out of the box table! You truly are amazing! This is such a pretty table.
Just found your site and so glad i did: having two white puppy’s and a boat a ventured over and to my surprise i have a new read ! the plates would be a bonus!
I would love to see this magnificent china in my beach cottage in Destin, FL. It reminds me of our trip to Annapolis, MD this year! I feel like I am there when I look at it! Your blog is a wonderful glimpse of all things Seasonal!
Thank you, Mary, for yet another beautifully photographed table setting! Since today (12/6) is my birthday, while I’m blowing out the candles (65 needed but the chance of burning the house down is too scary!!!) my wish will be to win the Blue Crab Bay Stoneware set! I’m Maryland born and raised but now live in Georgetown, Delaware to be closer to the ocean that I love. I can “sea” those dishes sailing in to live here in my safe harbor. Thanks again for the beauty you put out into the world.
Being from Virginia, and the shore my favorite place to get away, I would LOVE to remember my times at the eastern shore by having the pleasure of a tablescape at my table with this beautiful stoneware.
I can sea my family eating together using these beautiful dishes. And, since being raised on the beautiful Florida beaches always make me long for the sea, these would feel right at home with me. Thanks for the opportunity. Cherry Goodson
I’m from the “land of pleasant living — the shores of the Chesapeake Bay” and nothing would make me happier than to sea these plates at The Glade. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
I would never have thought to use these for a Christmas tablescape, but they are perfect. We live on a lake with the our deck right on the water, and I can just SEA these dishes on our deck tables.
Merry Christmas, dgmills
I just found your blog and love everything I’ve seen. You have quite the “Touch”! I would love to “sea” these dishes on my table here in CA.
Thanks for all the inspiration and this opportunity!!
I would love to SEA these dishes on my table… really I would love to see your whole table at my home! So so beautiful. You tied in Christmas and beachy elements artfully! This is one of my favorite settings!
Thank you for a stunning table to ooooh and aaaah over and a chance to win these lovely dishes!!!!
Another beautiful post to inspire me to decorate even more! Thank you! I know anyone would enjoy *SEAing* those beautiful dishes on their table – waterside or not! I have not been following you on FB – but will now. :-) Again, thanks for the continuous inspiration. Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful Nautical, Christmas table! Your tablescape caught my eye on French Country and I’m so glad I followed the link. Such a pleasure to “sea” your talent and your giveaway.
How totally thrilled was I to see your beautiful display of Dovis pottery and Pam Barefoot and her amazing product line. I live here on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and there is surely no finer place to be…
Mary this is so generous! Your gorgeous table reminds me of many waterside dinners when I lived in San Diego! Of course I would LOVE to Sea them sitting beautifully on my table!

I have so enjoyed your photography! One of my favorite things to do is to look at your pics on the larger screen of my I-pad to get all the detail and color. And would I love to sea these dishes on my table? You bet!
I am also now subscribed to our blog by e-mail. Why wasn’t I before? Still hoping for the dishes. We discovered the Bloody Mary mix several years ago and now buy only Blue Crab.
Mary, Your table is beautiful! I have been in love with these dishes since I first saw them on your blog and I hope to sea my name as the winner of your giveaway. Thanks for sharing this at the Open House part.
I LOVE your blog! I love the mix of beautifully elegant, traditional, and rustic pieces, your great seasonal ideas, and easy and delicious recipes! I made your ‘Berry Quick and Easy Cake’ for company on the 4th of July and got rave reviews, even from the neighbor’s children who asked for seconds! Your photography is also beautiful allowing one to dive into all the details. It always makes me happy to pour over your photos which inspires me to try new ideas for my own home. You are a very talented person and we really appreciate that you enjoy sharing your talents with all of us!
This is my first post…just in time to say I hope to ‘sea’ your lovely dinnerware come home to live with us! Our SC home overlooks a peaceful pond and faces gorgeous sunsets that we enjoy watching from our sunroom and porch under big old lake oaks. The dinnerware would look perfect with our blue and white toile sofa that sits in the sunroom, on our French wood table mixed with our greenware, or out on the porch on our black wrought iron table topped with red placemats. A perfect way to celebrate our 20th anniversary in a home that we built and moved into twenty years ago this week!
I subscribed by email and now follow you on Facebook! I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful ideas!
Sarah, your last winner, told me about your newest giveaway and I came right over to “sea” it! I love this pattern! I would love to sea them come home with me – I know they would be very happy at Blue Creek Home!
“Seaing” how I live in Virginia and in Chesapeake these dishes would be perfect for my home! I often give Blue Crab mixes as gifts, especially when we visit our land locked friends. Thanks so much for your kind offer to share your dishes. I receive your posts through email. I wouldn’t want to miss a thing on your blog. You are so very talented.
Hi Mary. I love this tablesetting with the crab dinnerware. I’m originally from Virginia and have been to the coast of Virginia many times…a beautiful place for shore (sure) he he. I love crab plus my zodiac sign is a crab, being a cancer and all. I’d love to “sea” these dishes in my home here in Georgia. I receive you blogs via email and I have shared this post on my facebook page. This would be a great Christmas present for ME!
xoxo-Kathi
I surely would like to “sea” them come home to my house! I couldn’t stop looking at them, too beautiful! You’re so sweet to share them in this fun way. <3
Looking forward to the possibility of “seeing” the Blue Crab Bay dishes on my table. Had to laugh when I saw your fish lure tree. Reminds me of when I joyfully decorated our tree with vintage lures, amber pinecone lights etc. When my, then grade-school age, son walked in and saw it he screamed out, “Fish tree?!” That was the end of my dream to do a theme tree anymore.
My new daughter-in-law and son would love to “sea” your beautiful crab dishes in their new nest on Ramsey Lake, a small bay where the South River meets the Cheapeake Bay in Maryland. And if I win these, they will be a gift to them. Actually I’m sure they would just love you to come decorate their entire home. Your posts are such a delight and a constant source of inspiration. I would LOVE to see your storage area!
I shared this Christmas Crab post with my daughter-in-law, Meredith, as well as today’s post, O Fishing Tree. You might inspire her to do a tree on their dock.
Oh how gorgeous the Blue Crab dishware is!!!! I can SEA clearly now just how beautiful they might be on my very own table for a dinner party! :) I have grown up fishing so I adore your O Fishing Tree!!!! Merry Christmas!!!
Oh, yes, I want everyone to see the lovely pictures you have taken of these products. I am from Virginia and used to live on the Chesapeake Bay so I am familiar with them.I would love to have this china to remind me of home!!I am also sharing on FB. Your photography is beautiful.
I would LOVE to “sea” these dishes come home with me. Being from Maryland, I am a big fan of blue crab. Would love to incorporate these fabulous pieces to our home.
I love these amazing dishes. I can sea them on my red, white, and blue striped quilt I use on my table. I love collecting dishes, but I don’t have anything like these. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Thank you so much for fantastic giveaway! Have a very Merry Christmas.
I love love love your blog. I check in on you daily. I live on the water in Michigan. On Lake St. Clair and we also have a small lake on our property in Northern Michigan. I never can be too far from the water. Your fish tree was cute and have sparked a new theme for my tree at our cabin Up North.
I live six hours away from the sea so I spend a lot of winter days very anxious for the family’s yearly trek to the beach for a week. I’m pretty sure I’ll sea these dishes in my daydreams!! It’s most gracious of you sharing this gift, but of course it is the SEAson of giving!!
Oh, oh, oh!!! Since the official logo for my blog is a BLUE CRAB . . . I would love to “SEA” these dishes come live with me! Of course, I would need your help in setting such a fine table!
So delighted and thrilled that I found your blog! Its right up my alley! Being from New England I love all things nautical!! I can definitely sea the gorgeous Blue Crab Bay dinner ware in my nautical home! I really want to win these!!!! I follow this great page and I like you on FB too!
Love your giveaway tableware. I used to live in Maryland where we ate blue crabs every summer, but now I live in land-locked Ohio. The dishes bring back many fond memories of a favorite treat. I follow via email.
Oh, how these dishes made me reminisce. We lived on the Chesapeake Bay for several months and my mother-in-law (who lived in Maine) talked about the blue crabs. This brought back so many fond memories of that time. Would love to “sea” them at my table!
Love, Love Charleston – my favorite town. I would love to be able to identify some of the more unusual greens used in the photos. I recognized the seeeded eucalyptus but some others are intriguing. I would swear it looked like it was snowing on this post – tiny flakes trailing down my screen as I read your blog! What a lovely effect. As always, thanks for sending beauty into our day.
I absolutely love this stoneware pattern and would love to “sea” it come to my door in the hands of my UPS guy! I also love the “sea!”
Thanks so much for this Giveaway –
Cathy Chapman Cathyology@aol.com
I love your crab dishes and iI really enjoy getting your posts through my email. Thanks so much for the lovely Christmas Tour of The holy City. It is so beautiful.
Although land-locked smack dab in the middle of Oklahoma, I would still give a wonderful home to the crab dishes. My heart bleeds blue and red….and longs for the sea. What a wonderful tablescape you created. Thanks. Lori Lucas
I would love to sea those plates on my coastal table. I live on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. I have followed your blog for several years. Thanks for a chance to win your lovely giveaway!
I have lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland (same peninsula as the Eastern Shore of Virginia for those not familiar with the area, between Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean) all my life. I moved this summer to a home on the shore of the Choptank River and am now able to catch blue crabs off of my dock. These blue crab dishes would be right at home here! Please enter me in the contest!
This is an absolutely beautiful table setting…blue and white with a pop of red how could you go wrong…..I can “SEA” ALL of this on my table. In fact I am copying as much as possible for Christmas this year….sadly I
I would love to “sea” these dishes come home to Colorado. I am a new sub. by e-mail and posted on facebook. The table looks great and makes me think of being at the beach!
I would love to sea those dishes at my house. They would be happy with all the other blue and white plates. I am goiing over to Facebook to become a follower right now too.
This reminds me of my first crabbin’ trip. Lots of laughs and good eats! And if that isn’t enough, my birthday is in July, so that makes ME an official crab!!
Oh my gosh, I am in LOVE… with these dishes AND your blog! You better believe I would love to “Sea” these dishes come home with me! I just found you through the recipe link party at Thistlewood Farm. I’m so glad you linked or I would never have discovered your beautiful blog! At the risk of being a cyber-stalker, I hope to “sea” you every day because I am going to subscribe to your blog and follow you on Pinterest too.
Apparently I like your blog so much I followed it twice this morning! Ha ha. Sorry about that. I only confirmed one, so hopefully it won’t mess up your numbers. “Sea” you soon!
I have LOVED these dishes since the first time I saw them on your feeling crabby post! I would truely Love to Sea them in my home!! Thanks so much for the chance to win them!!!
I sea that you have such a wonderful talent for decorating and design and I would love to sea those beautiful dishes come home with me! You transport me to a beautiful warm place even though I am in cold Ohio!
I LOVE your ‘sea’sonal and sen”sea”tional tablescapes. I grew up in Mass., not far from the ‘Ocean Sea’, and the setting reminded me of my New England roots (even though we had clams more than crab). I could “sea” these at my table, but would like to sea them at my daughter’s, a water lover who lives near lake Michigan, and who loves blue. I follow your blog and look forward to every post.
I love these dishes! I would love to “sea” them in my home in Kennebunk, ME! We are fortunate to have a summer residence at Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk. The ocean is always in our thoughts and the dishes by Dovis Designs are the perfect touch for our sea scape dining!
Love to sea the Blue Crab Bay Stoneware on my table! Love anything blue and white . Find your blog very entertaining, your tablescapes are beautiful. I don’t blog, am new this, and don’t understand process. But, can I make copies of tablescapes for my own reference? I appreciate your artistic design. Thank you for sharing, Inge
Hi, I don’t have my own blog; but yours is delightful. I also was in retail and love to “merchandise” whenever I get the chance. I can sea that merchandising touch in all you do! You are very talented. Love to watch your blog. Have a merry Christmas season.
Just wanted to tell you how beautiful your pictures of Charleston were. I live here and your shots have encouraged me to take a break and walk around downtown to check out all the lovely decorations. I also love the crab dishes.
I discovered your blog today so I am way too late for the party, but I just have to give you a few oohs and aahs about your wonderful table. I am a red, white and blue girl (with yellow and green thrown in) and I just LOVE your table setting.
I am a newbie to your blog and am blown away with your talent. I too live on the coast and we have a sailboat, so you have given me inspiring ideas. I would love to SEA all this in my home even if this opportunity is closed. Maybe it will open up again…..hopefully!
It all looks so nautical and Christmasy beautiful. Everything is just well done and gorgeous! We are on the Bay of Lake Michigan and this reminds me of when we used to live next to the lighthouse. Blessings- xo Diana

Oh boy would I love to “sea these dishes” come my way! We love to spend our vacations in the Chesapeake Bay area almost every summer. What a beautiful addition to our table these would be!
I’m sharing this on my facebook and tweeting about it too!
I too live on the water, Anchor Bay, part of the Great Lakes in Michigan. We are also boaters. I’d love to “sea” these beautiful dishes gracing the back deck of our boat. A lunch of crab cakes or a lovely crab salad would be so tasty on these dishes.
Thanks for the your beautiful blog. I visit daily for creative inspiration.
hi Mary,
I would love to sea this lovely china come home with me! I have the perfect place for it in my Gulf Coast home! I love the way the artist combined his Italian roots with his Chesapeake Bay home. The way you have turned this into a Christmas table is so clever, and of course if any one could do it you can! i am always inspired by your creativity and photography.
Jenna
Your blog is the first blog I signed up to follow when I first discovered blogging earlier this year. Your posts are always so full of great ideas and photography that you inspired me to start my own blog and learn to take better photos. I have a long way to go but you have taught me so much!
Jenna
I will be sharing your give away on tomorrow’s post on the Painted Apron!
Oh my goodness what memories those dishes bring back from the days I lived in Maryland and visited the Eastern Shore and got the delicious crabs. I would love to sea those dishes on my table.
These dishes are so handsome! Especially with your clever styling. My husband grew up in Annapolis, and we had the pleasure of living there for a while. Blue crabs bring those happy memories rushing back. I would love to have the blue crab dishes at our Texas lake house. Please enter me in the drawing. Thank you! Suzanne
Leyland Cypress, huh? OK…I’m going to have to write that down. I had a nasty little run-in with some evergreens a couple of years ago, and I have been antsy about using fresh ever since. I like the way you paired the striped tablecloth with the checkered napkins. Very pretty, and a perfect nautical look! The dishes are great, too. I wouldn’t be “crabby” if I didn’t win them, but it sure would be nice! :-) The treatment on the lantern is really pretty and unique. The plaid works with everything else! One might not expect that it would, but it totally does!
You do the most amazing tablescapes! I absolutely love your dishes-I haven’t seen anything like them! Our beach house would be the perfect place for them. That is why I follow you-for your wonderful ideas!
Thanks for sharing!
~Nancy
…and I follow you!

Beautiful! I love all your tablescapes, especially nautical ones. Wish I could set up outdoors as often as you can, but the Pacific Northwest does not work as well for that. I do love it here though, gray winters, rain drops and all.

I can sea all the way back to my honeymoon soon to be 20 years ago, spent at a house on the rivah of the eastern shore. We baited our crab pot with leftover finger sandwiches from the wedding reception and spent a glorious stormy night watching the water from a glassed in deck. I can sea us celebrating all the love and laughter on that night with these great dishes gracing the table. Thanks so much for the gorgeous ideas and inspiring photography.
I shared a link on facebook and pinned your display to pinterest. thanks.
You have the most marvelous pictures and blue is my favorite colour; I sea what I could sea and do with this interesting blue crab design pottery. Your table setting is very attractive. With the addition of plaid to your table and interesting candle holders makes me sea sick for a home comfort Southern meal……this old Virginian misses the South and would sea those dishes come out to the West Coast where I sea many lovers of sea crab.
Sea ya’ll you hear now,
Sylvia Faye
No blog but your blog comes into my email and I enjoy each of them. Your little potting house has been intriging at each season. I miss the slower pace of life in the South.
Oh goodness. I’m so glad that I got up early to catch up in blog land. I would looooove to sea those dishes come my way. I think this whole table is wonderful. I would never have thought to use the striped coverlet for it, and I like it looks just plain perfect.

that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.”
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I would so love to “sea” these dishes come home with me! One of the first things my beautiful husband did to “wow” me when we were first dating was teach me how to pick a crab.

I would never have thought to use these for a Christmas tablescape, but they are perfect. We live on a lake with the our deck right on the water, and I can just SEA these dishes on our deck tables.

I have so enjoyed your photography! One of my favorite things to do is to look at your pics on the larger screen of my I-pad to get all the detail and color. And would I love to sea these dishes on my table? You bet!
I am also now subscribed to our blog by e-mail. Why wasn’t I before? Still hoping for the dishes. We discovered the Bloody Mary mix several years ago and now buy only Blue Crab.
Mary, Your table is beautiful! I have been in love with these dishes since I first saw them on your blog and I hope to sea my name as the winner of your giveaway. Thanks for sharing this at the Open House part.
I follow your blog by email and also follow on FB.
I LOVE your blog! I love the mix of beautifully elegant, traditional, and rustic pieces, your great seasonal ideas, and easy and delicious recipes! I made your ‘Berry Quick and Easy Cake’ for company on the 4th of July and got rave reviews, even from the neighbor’s children who asked for seconds! Your photography is also beautiful allowing one to dive into all the details. It always makes me happy to pour over your photos which inspires me to try new ideas for my own home. You are a very talented person and we really appreciate that you enjoy sharing your talents with all of us!
This is my first post…just in time to say I hope to ‘sea’ your lovely dinnerware come home to live with us! Our SC home overlooks a peaceful pond and faces gorgeous sunsets that we enjoy watching from our sunroom and porch under big old lake oaks. The dinnerware would look perfect with our blue and white toile sofa that sits in the sunroom, on our French wood table mixed with our greenware, or out on the porch on our black wrought iron table topped with red placemats. A perfect way to celebrate our 20th anniversary in a home that we built and moved into twenty years ago this week!
I subscribed by email and now follow you on Facebook! I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful ideas!
And by the way, I’ve already posted your blog on my Facebook page!
And your giveaway too!
Sarah, your last winner, told me about your newest giveaway and I came right over to “sea” it! I love this pattern! I would love to sea them come home with me – I know they would be very happy at Blue Creek Home!

Thanks so much for your kind offer to share your dishes. I receive your posts through email. I wouldn’t want to miss a thing on your blog. You are so very talented.
I just shared on facebook and “liked” your facebook page. Can’t wait to sea those dishes at my house. =)

Hi Mary. I love this tablesetting with the crab dinnerware. I’m originally from Virginia and have been to the coast of Virginia many times…a beautiful place for shore (sure) he he. I love crab plus my zodiac sign is a crab, being a cancer and all. I’d love to “sea” these dishes in my home here in Georgia. I receive you blogs via email and I have shared this post on my facebook page. This would be a great Christmas present for ME!

I sure would love to SEA these dishes come my way! Beautiful tablescape!!
Looking forward to the possibility of “seeing” the Blue Crab Bay dishes on my table. Had to laugh when I saw your fish lure tree. Reminds me of when I joyfully decorated our tree with vintage lures, amber pinecone lights etc. When my, then grade-school age, son walked in and saw it he screamed out, “Fish tree?!” That was the end of my dream to do a theme tree anymore.
I would surely love to “sea” these dishes at my house! Your table is drop dead gorgeous!

My new daughter-in-law and son would love to “sea” your beautiful crab dishes in their new nest on Ramsey Lake, a small bay where the South River meets the Cheapeake Bay in Maryland. And if I win these, they will be a gift to them. Actually I’m sure they would just love you to come decorate their entire home. Your posts are such a delight and a constant source of inspiration. I would LOVE to see your storage area!
I shared this Christmas Crab post with my daughter-in-law, Meredith, as well as today’s post, O Fishing Tree. You might inspire her to do a tree on their dock.

I love love love your blog. I check in on you daily. I live on the water in Michigan. On Lake St. Clair and we also have a small lake on our property in Northern Michigan. I never can be too far from the water. Your fish tree was cute and have sparked a new theme for my tree at our cabin Up North.
I live six hours away from the sea so I spend a lot of winter days very anxious for the family’s yearly trek to the beach for a week. I’m pretty sure I’ll sea these dishes in my daydreams!! It’s most gracious of you sharing this gift, but of course it is the SEAson of giving!!
Merry Christmas!
I love the way you combined the blue dishes and red accents. You’ve given me some ideas for decorating my Christmas table. Thanks for sharing!

Love your giveaway tableware. I used to live in Maryland where we ate blue crabs every summer, but now I live in land-locked Ohio. The dishes bring back many fond memories of a favorite treat. I follow via email.
Oh, how these dishes made me reminisce. We lived on the Chesapeake Bay for several months and my mother-in-law (who lived in Maine) talked about the blue crabs. This brought back so many fond memories of that time. Would love to “sea” them at my table!
What a darling coastal Christmas tablescape! Love it all,,,especially the lanterns with the greenery and tartan ribbon.
Love, Love Charleston – my favorite town. I would love to be able to identify some of the more unusual greens used in the photos. I recognized the seeeded eucalyptus but some others are intriguing. I would swear it looked like it was snowing on this post – tiny flakes trailing down my screen as I read your blog! What a lovely effect. As always, thanks for sending beauty into our day.
Love anything blue and white and I live in Pensacola near the bay and 5 miles from the beach! Love that I found your blog!
Beautiful. table. I would love to “sea” these lovely dishes come home with me to the coast of New Hampshire.

I love your crab dishes and iI really enjoy getting your posts through my email. Thanks so much for the lovely Christmas Tour of The holy City. It is so beautiful.
Although land-locked smack dab in the middle of Oklahoma, I would still give a wonderful home to the crab dishes. My heart bleeds blue and red….and longs for the sea. What a wonderful tablescape you created. Thanks. Lori Lucas
I would love to sea those plates on my coastal table. I live on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. I have followed your blog for several years. Thanks for a chance to win your lovely giveaway!

I have lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland (same peninsula as the Eastern Shore of Virginia for those not familiar with the area, between Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean) all my life. I moved this summer to a home on the shore of the Choptank River and am now able to catch blue crabs off of my dock. These blue crab dishes would be right at home here! Please enter me in the contest!
Beautiful table…Makes me miss our time living on the gulf coast!
What a beautiful table, Mary. I would love to sea those dishes on my table.

I can “sea” the beautiful dishes in my blue and white dining room. The dishes are beautiful and the tablescape is lovely.
I LOVE your ‘sea’sonal and sen”sea”tional tablescapes. I grew up in Mass., not far from the ‘Ocean Sea’, and the setting reminded me of my New England roots (even though we had clams more than crab). I could “sea” these at my table, but would like to sea them at my daughter’s, a water lover who lives near lake Michigan, and who loves blue. I follow your blog and look forward to every post.
I would love to “sea” these beauties arrive at LoblollyLane.

I love these dishes! I would love to “sea” them in my home in Kennebunk, ME! We are fortunate to have a summer residence at Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk. The ocean is always in our thoughts and the dishes by Dovis Designs are the perfect touch for our sea scape dining!
Love to sea the Blue Crab Bay Stoneware on my table! Love anything blue and white . Find your blog very entertaining, your tablescapes are beautiful. I don’t blog, am new this, and don’t understand process. But, can I make copies of tablescapes for my own reference? I appreciate your artistic design. Thank you for sharing, Inge

Hi, I don’t have my own blog; but yours is delightful. I also was in retail and love to “merchandise” whenever I get the chance. I can sea that merchandising touch in all you do! You are very talented. Love to watch your blog. Have a merry Christmas season.
Just wanted to tell you how beautiful your pictures of Charleston were. I live here and your shots have encouraged me to take a break and walk around downtown to check out all the lovely decorations. I also love the crab dishes.
I discovered your blog today so I am way too late for the party, but I just have to give you a few oohs and aahs about your wonderful table. I am a red, white and blue girl (with yellow and green thrown in) and I just LOVE your table setting.
I would love to “sea” those babies on my table
I am a newbie to your blog and am blown away with your talent. I too live on the coast and we have a sailboat, so you have given me inspiring ideas. I would love to SEA all this in my home even if this opportunity is closed. Maybe it will open up again…..hopefully!
