so we had some friends over for dinner the other night & took pictures of my table before i forgot and got busy cooking, drinking, entertaining, etc. i do it every time and i'm happy i remembered this time around.
i used my usual wedding china, citation lace by lenox. our waterford crystal and my grandparents glasses from spain as water glasses.
the flatware and the candelabras i inherited from my parents. i love using them and i do every chance i get.
the silver serving pieces are pieces i'll be selling at the paris flea market sooner or later. right now i'm having fun playing with them.
the main reason i had fun with this table scape though is all the little succulents i'll be selling next month at paris flea market. i've collected a bunch of mismatched sugar bowls and creamers and with a little succulent and some spanish moss, voila! they look adorable. some are glass some are ceramic and some are silver and i love them grouped together.
as i look at these pictures i realize i took them before i put the napkins out. i remembered the napkins and something else in the shower (apres photos) and i can't remember what the other thing was already. clearly not that important anymore.
bon appetite!
That looks lovely! Is that sheet music for place mats?

YES! i totally forgot to mention that in my post. i spied it on pinterest (wish i could claim the idea for myself) and it was a great convo piece. i bought the sheet music for $1 @ a thrift store (4 books for a quarter each). i figured they were disposable & i would just toss after the dinner party but they survived unharmed. i'll be using them again for sure! i owe u an email for expo. gotta look at my calendar & i'll let u know. would love to catch up! xo
