Remembering Richard Simmons Tablescape

Although Richard Simmons had stepped aside from the overall public eye, he had not totally disappeared as some people believed. He was active on his social media accounts and kept in contact with his followers and fan base. Beloved by many, he continued his work as a fitness expert and media personality during the last ten years and will be missed. He passed away July 13th.

Pat decided to set this week's table to remember the flamboyant and inspirational "Weight Saint."

Just like the inspiration, the table is flashy and bold. Richard Simmons has been described as "ebullient and effervescent" but I think he would be OK with being described as flashy and bold.....

Flatware is "Byzantine" by Yamazki

Pat used four different colored metallic-like place settings 

The goblets are "Lady Diamond" by Cristal D'Arques-Durand

Also famous for his dolls, Pat used just two sets from his "Nana's Family" collection for part of the centerpiece.
