Celebrating Agatha Christie's 100 Years Tablescape

 Pat is a voracious reader of mysteries - all kinds - cozies, police procedural, thriller, hardboiled, noir, classics, etc. just to name a few. It is her favorite genre of books and she has read thousands over the years. Her favorite mystery author of all times has always been Agatha Christie. Undoubtedly, Ms. Christie is the favorite of many people. It has been 100 hundred years since her first novel introducing her most famous detective, Hercule Poirot, was published. Although she has been dead for nearly 45 years, her books continue to be popular - having been outsold by only the Bible and Shakespeare. So Pat wanted to set a table to celebrate such a grand achievement.

Pat chose a simple but sweet style for the table

At first, Pat was going to set a Christie novel at each place setting, but decided to just incorporate them into the centerpiece.

A modest place setting - no charger or frills - and silverplate flatware

The crystal napkin rings belonged to our Mother

The dinnerware is "Forget Me Not" by Myott Staffordshire - appropriately named, I think, for this week's table theme

The blue water goblet is "Navarre" by Fostoria

What a perfect centerpiece for a book celebration tablescape

Just a small number of the Christie books in Pat's library
