January Formal Tablescape

Inspiration for this week's table came from the soft baby-blue satin napkins that our Great-niece found while shopping for Christmas gifts this year. She immediately thought that we could use them on a table and even came up with the place setting to go with them.

Where it came from:

Charger Plates - "Colonial Blue" Color Spectrum by Mikasa from eBay years ago

Dinnerware - "White Alabaster Niveus" from Pier 1 more than fourteen years ago

Bread and Butter Plates - Thrifted by Pat from Tailwaggers (a thrift store dedicated to animal rescue and rehoming)

Satin Napkins - a gift from our Bother's Granddaughter

Crystal Napkin Rings - from our Mother's collection

Flatware - "Musee" by Reed & Barton from Horchow years ago

Glassware - "Lady Diamond" by Cristal d'Arques-Durand from Ross at least fifteen years ago

Glass Candle Holders - from TJMaxx five or six years ago

New Year's Eve Tablescape

Record rainfall, floods, mudslides, road closures - typical way to end the year here in our area of Northern California. But the power is on for now and everyone is safe and secure at home so I guess the outlook for the new year is positive. That said, let's end the year with a glitzy table set for a New Year's party celebration.

Black Place Mats - from Bed, Bath and Beyond years ago

Glass Glittery Chargers - from Pier 1 nine or ten years ago

Dinnerware - Pattern unknown from Pier 1 years ago

Silverplate Bread and Butter plate - from Tailwaggers (a local thrift store that supports a no-kill animal rescue) 

Flatware - "Fluence" by Oneida from Replacements,Ltd.
