Dachshunds and Books Tablescape

Pat set this week's table combining two of my favorite themes: books and dachshunds. She used the Danbury Mint's notable "Dachshund" pattern (produced from 2005 through 2010) for the dinnerware and European-style "Pure" stainless steel flatware by Gourmet Settings with its flat, plain, wide style handles.

Pat placed small black bowls at each end of the table with "bone" crackers

Tried to get a "clear" glass but it has been so dark outside that no matter when or how I took the picture it turned out cloudy......

The candle holders are hand made from rawhide doggy bones surrounding a small dog food can to hold the candle

Pat used the bookends from on top of my desk....dachshunds of course.
