Happy New Year! My first Tablescape Tuesday!

Today I'm joining the fun at "Between Naps on the Porch" and posting my New Year's Eve table scape... Ricky said "Hey, what's with the table?" to which I replied... "I'm getting ready for New Year's Eve"... then Ricky said... "What are we eatin'?"... Ricky... not impressed... oh well...

I use this table cloth everyday... it was my grandmothers and is a little tattered in places, but, I love it and I think it's very romantic...

The place mats double as chargers with a vintage crystal Anchor dinner plate and a Fire King opal white with platinum rim salad plate... I also like to put freshly ground sea salt in the little individual vintage "salts"(lower center of picture below).
See my little "LOVE letters"?
I decided to use vintage Wilender Pink Dogwood napkins and silver napkin rings... I think the gray shadows in the napkins look nice with the silver and platinum accents...
and decorate with my newly found faux mercury glass candle holders, bowl & balls, and tree...
Bling-Bling...

and now here... with the candles lit and the lights turned low... maybe Ricky will like it better when I get my apron on... Ha! we'll see...

Getting ready for a romantic dinner with my sweet hubby (who really is romantic... most of the time)... down here in French Lique...
PS... you're invited back for the first Wordless Wednesday celebration next week!

  5. A dinner becomes a memory in the making when we use older family pieces...those pieces that have stories to tell. i adore that use the tablecloth all the time :)
    Everything seems so natural and soft...as if they were meant to be there! nicely done.
