Elvis' Birthday Tablescape

Yes, it's time for our annual birthday tablescape to celebrate Elvis Presley's birthday. (It's a little late this year - my brand new computer is still acting up but is finally in the shop to be fixed - so I am using Pat's family computer. A big "Thank you" to Pat's husband, Jim.)

Wine Tasting Tablescape

Admittedly, Pat nor I drink much wine. However, wine is always served to guests. So, when Pat was given several bottles of wine as gifts, she decided they could be the basis for a beautiful tablescape and the beginning of a great party.

Pat selected an unusual colored candle for the table this week - it's called "Biscuit."

The place setting. Napkins and the bread/butter plates are marigold.

Pat gave each guest two wine glasses to start with.....

A small bottle of wine was given to each person as a favor. It also acted as the place card holder.

Flatware is a recent purchase - "Colonial Copper" from Horchow's

"Faux" grapes and grape vine were used to decorate the table

Pat's brother-in-law gave her this bottle of wine. It's so big that she decided to use it as the focal point.
