Starfish and Sandollars

The starfish look great under the cake! I think I'm going to order some to spread around on the table with some tea lights....

Thanks for this helpful thread....didn't know that starfish may smell. Good to know that I may need to air them out!

Love the idea of starfish on the tables!!!!

great idea

I saw these too at Pier 1 and bought a few (they were $3.95 when I found them) they are an iridescent white/ivory and I'll use LED tea light (since a reg. tea light probably won't hold up in the wind) - planning to use them on my guestbook table!

I'm thinking I will have to go back and pick up some stuff, since it's all seasonal items, but I'm sure it's all on their website

J-me,

I found some flameless LED candles at costco! they seemed to be the cheapest. I don't want them blowing out either! I also ordered some 1 inch starfish and 1 inch sanddollars from www.tropitek.com  they sell shells, larger starfish etc...so hopefully they turn out nice too! And they were pretty cheap (I hope I got the website right, I saw someone else post about it so I gave it a look too!)

Ooooh - I hadn't even THOUGHT to look for the LEDs at Costco - thank you!!! I remember someone mentioning that site too - I'll have to take a look!
