DIFFA 2012 on Pier 94 on the Hudson River
“SHELL SHOCK” when I saw this masterpiece. Reminded me of the 15 years I spent on the beaches of Sanibel……collecting shells……[which I have saved]……and now I know what to do with them.

Exquisite lighting………this table setting was created by Dwayne Clark and Bob Gaynor.

Arte Italica provided the glassware…….[some of which is in my own collection].

I shall treat my own “Garden Goddess” with this decolletage.
At first I thought……….why the BELL? Well, it is a tiny tureen cover. And…..”the calla lillies are in bloom” [eg Katherine Hepburn].
So many to thank for making this creation possible. Lillian August deserves beaucoup “kudos”.
La Crema Wines was very generous in supplying hundreds of bottles of wine…….and it was all consumed.

I will not re-create the white plaster table……….[will use a table cloth to simulate the look].
Silver…..coral and starfish……….
Clever use of the lucite chairs………thank you RDYC Interior Design and Architectural Development for your support .
